Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

End of level one, we have 3,275, and still have our 2 x 3,000 add-on chips behind.

Still very nervous, but settling down now, and not wanting to wee as often.

They gave away a one drop seat to some random who sat down to play plo8.  Can confirm I would be absolutely crapping myself if I won that, can't imagine how Tikay would be!

Think the chap was named as AceO or some such. Bit of a local hero amongst Team Hoodie apparently.

[tikay]

Correct that. His name - phonetically - is OAce Ahmin. Probably.

Team Hoodie have the right idea.  Some clown in my seat forgot to bring his jumper when he stepped out in the heat of the desert sun.

Do you feel a little less like you're being outclassed on the table by now, tho, Tikay?

A bit more comfy?

[tikay]

First break.

Still have my two add on chips, and have 4,025.

Had bad aces last hand before the break, A-A-7-7dd, got no action.

Been all in once in a three way affair, other two were both on low wraps, I had J-J-J, we swerved good and chopped it two way.

Final table of some $10k event is on the big stage, right behind me, Jeff Lissandro amongst the remaining four, he was wearing a crucial hat and zebra striped silk shirt.

Stato and Deadman are deep in another event just along the way.

Edit - Lissandro just busted, crucial apparel and all. Boo.

Not really. Always feel I am the value in these things. Lack of confidence and self esteem is always a problem for me. (Cliffs - am a wimp).

[Tal]

It's the 2-7 single draw.

Lisandro is wearing the same shirt as when he had his Player of the Year photo that is up in Brasilia. A black and white striped number.

Not the most exciting game to rail, I learned.

Wow, these lads have so much gamble in them, there are all ins galore.

Gamble and get a stack or bust, nothing wrong with that, I just struggle to do it.

[Tal]

You'll catch 'em
