Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[bobby1]

brilliant work Tony and a great funk on here. Lovely to see so many people chuffed to bits for you.

[Tal]

Looking forward to the picture of your name on the board in the Golden Nugget.

In the 8-game, there must have been a mistake every two orbits (maybe more frequently than that) about how much to bet in the limit games.

If you're not sure, just say "bet", pause, then reach for your chips. Often, the villain will have made his action in that time or the dealer will have announced "400" or whatever. Works a treat. If in doubt, throw a big chip in. You'll always get change.

Two dirty tricks I developed yesterday. I'm sure they're both tried and tested in every cardroom everywhere.

How many times in NLHE comps does someone underraise, call when they meant to raise, do the single oversized chip thing or whatever? It seems to happen in events where people REALLY should know better.

I'm sure the standard at Binion's will be terrible, so fret not about that.

If its Binions you will likely get Sam Grizzle playing there (hes quite funny to!), only problem is small fields.

[Tal]

Don't fret about limit games and making a fool of yourself. If you bet too much it won't count and everyone makes occasional mistake on bet size.

HORSE be more fun for you I think than another PLO8

Stop it, Simon, I'm starting to dither again now.

Life is just one long dither for me.

There is another problem with games like Stud & RAZZ though - unless I get seat 4 or 5, I cannot easily see other players up cards, as my eyes have become very bad of late. In seat 2 or 7, I genuinely would have to get up & walk to the other end of the table to see them. Which, 6 hours in, may become a tad tiresome for the other players.

Tikay, in Binion's, I'd estimate your eyes would be in the upper quartile for potency. There must be three good eyes per table.

[Doobs]

I'd have to play the HORSE if Tal is in.  He has managed to avoid me so far.  FWIW my eyes are really terrible too.  Got some bifocals last time and they just seem to ensure I can't see any distance anymore.  Feel like I was absolutely mugged.

Doubt Sam will be there, but it matters not, "fun poker" is my kick, & at a mere $125, it is corking value.

The $125 PLO8 it is.

Go on, both of you, go play it, & we can hook up in breaks, or I'll pop across the road & come heckle you both.

Go on......

You two HAVE to meet, you'd get on like a house on fire.

Helping to broker new real-life friendships is the greatest thing ever, yes? Think of the value in that.

[Tal]

I'm going to rail Mr Moorman, I think. Would like to see what all the Britrail fuss is about.

[Tal]

Also offers me a little flexibility when the rest of the group I'm here with finally wakes up.

In before "you'll be out of the comp anyway"

You might get a surprisingly high number of players at The Nugget for an affordable tourney like that as it's definitely the "class" venue downtown, besides I think you deserve an easy day today.

If you come across my old friend Nathan who nomally manages the swing-shift in the regular cardroom please give him my regards Tony.

[tikay]

Bugger, out of time again, gotta go. Why is there never enough hours in the day?

Did you know that when Channing won his WSOP bracelet, he had hundreds of "good luck" messages whilst playing the Final, via various platforms - FB, Twitter, here, BBP, PM's, all sorts, & after it was all over, he replied to EVERY SINGLE ONE. Proper Pro, him.

[Doobs]

Back to plan A then.  Aria, if knocked out, Rio deepstack, if knocked out rail the Brits.  

Good luck Tony

Will do Ralph. I LOVE playing Downtown, it is poker heaven. Affordable, & fun. What's not to like?

Excellent rubs in the last paragraph.  WP

CORRECTION to my Post about Channing.

He finished 2nd. Sorry. I sort of assumed he won because he had such a whopping chip lead.

Apologies.
