Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[JaffaCake]

teeks instead of sitting there folding, nip over to the 10k PLO and ask Paul Pierce if he's defo signing with Brooklyn, the reason we've punted them on the TfT Fred. He sat beside Karl Mahrenholz in the main a couple of years ago, Karl didn't know why people were so exciting about the fella not even his height

Good luck Tikay, my bodyclock is ruined for the forseeable, so may well follow the updates through until the end of day 1.

Get me out of it please

Dinner break over, we have resumed at 150-300/25.

Two more levels scheduled today.

The hot NBA news is that Dwight Howard has signed a 4 year deal, $56 million. How much?!

[tikay]

Oh, and this one:

Chicago: You'd be amazed what you'll agree to when you're on fire.

Love both of those.

He seems quite a jolly chap actually. Met him here last year, he had a cheese cutter cap. Nothing looks dafter on a bloke than a cheese cutter cap.

Mr Robbing Bugger from the Button just raised my BB again.

I agree with Channing ( and Jaffa) that we don't need to defend too wide at this stage, especially oop, but I decided to draw a line, and 3 bet the little bugger with virtual air. (A-K suited). He called.

It all got a bit hairy when it came paired queens, but my hand was good.

36,000.

[tikay]

Channing really is one of the good guys, hope he's got u settled. Don't worry about your big blind, it's only small at the moment, remember position, position, position Channing told u, just  let your blinds go at least until the antes. Make sure you have lots of fun, loving the updates

100% agree as to Mr Channing. Always very reassuring when he makes an appearance on my rail.

I will do the same for him, of course. Always happy to help the youngsters.

Enjoying the updates.

Happy anniversary for the diary.

Table move - table 396, Orange. Just a few tables up from old location.

Now I need the Channing Rate My Table Service. Where is he when I need him?

[tikay]

Have 36,000, and don't have a train to catch, so will just sit quietly for an orbit or two and try to suss who is doing what.

On the face of it, table looks ok. Lots of 57 year olds.

[tikay]

Enjoying the updates.

Happy anniversary for the diary.

Ha!

How did you spot that?

6 years, good grief. Not discussed how to boil a kettle yet, either.

Started 7/7/7. Everyone knows that!

My new table has two guys 3 betting every hand. Been here best part of an hour and not had one playable hand, not even anything marginal. Probably just as well.

Blinded down to 32,500.

This level, the penultimate of the day, about to end, break time.

Table is very tricky, so might just play on the back foot for the last level.

[tikay]

Last level of Day One commences.

200-400/50.

[tikay]

Raised UTG with J-J, both black, first hand I have played at this table since I arrived, two hours ago.

5 (FIVE) callers, flop came K-Q-4, all hearts.

White flag, next case.

Korean guy took it, don't trust him an inch, but not the easiest spot for me to lead out with the pot so big, two overs, three hearts, and half the table laying in wait.
