Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

12 Bigs is the world in O8 and if anyone can grind it out...!

Agree, and I am we'll used to being in this position.

Will be hoping to find a raiser in front, and a combo hand, then we will get it in and hope to get lucky.

Grinding gear donned.

67 left.

Doobs needs a double too, he has 22k.

Ben Dobson has close to 70k, excellent.

Off we go then.

[Doobs]

Had a quick look round.  There must be close on 20 shorties in the room.

Yup, but we still both need a double. Then there will only be 18 shorties.

Loving this!! It's getting me through my night shift at work, keep the grind going, top work so far!!

[tikay]

Found the hand, but was no action in front of me and everyone ran round the room screaming "the old boy has aces", so just nicked the blinds.

Still, it buys me an orbit to find something else.

65  players remain from the original 435.

The 15% sea is proving difficult to negotiate.

If only Chompy was here, he could negotiate a chop.

[tikay]

We lost Doobs. Ugh.

[The Camel]

Good luck sir!

[tikay]

Wowzer, action.

Raised with

 

Geezer behind, very tight, shoves on me. Can never fold here, even though we know his hand.

Flop comes

I house up on the 3 turn, but it kills my low and he gets the bottom end.

Excitement!

Used up a life there.....

[tikay]

Can't quite recall the other chaps hand, pretty sure it was A-A-2-4, double suited.

How can he raise me with that? I could have had him crushed.

[The Camel]

Please tell me that was a blind steal attempt.

Wasn't expecting you to be playing with a bag of spanners like that!

Nope, just running out of time, and chips. Had to be done, IMO.

62 left.

Come on a dealer, give me a combo hand and a raiser in front, and lets do a flip thing.

Lord Channing is supervising my monster rail. All is well with the world.

[tikay]

We have action, and my head was so frazzled I mangled the hand completely, and lost about 10k of value.

Min raised on my Big, and I decide to take a flop with A-4-9-K one suit.

Flop comes 9-9-10

And unbelievably, instead of checking, I move in, and he folds.

Bugger bugger bugger.

Pressure does strange things. My default in Omaha is never give free cards, but that was just daft, I deffo pre-ejaculated there.

And then the Poker Gods came to see how I was going, and......
