In the Rio today teeks?

Am Downtown, at Golden Nugget, playing a PLO jobbie, so won't be back at The Rio until I've won that.

You playing the $5k today? Let me know table and room, so I can come see you after I'm done here.

First break, 4 levels complete, got 24,500 from 20,000 starting.

Table is crazy, pots getting very big very quickly.

Still only 70 runners, which is a disappointment, though 4 more levels of re-entry remain, and everyone seems to be re-entering.

Just seen a corking pot, very unusual. 3 way pot, they all flopped a set, all the chips flew in, it came runner runner flush and bottom set man got the lot.  Don't see that every day.

"I FEEL MEAN" - holy shit! loving this new bad ass attitude!

Time to make it 2/0 let's gogogo!

8 levels safely negotiated, re-entries end during this break, 96 runners at present, so not too bad. Plasma is out of date, but around 40 remain I'd say.

Going along quite nicely with 55,000, going 500/1,000 after the break.

The game is super loose, so I'm playing pretty cagey for now, until it settles down a bit.

Lost 17,000 with......

 


When the board ran out......

 

My man had 5-5.

Back up to 54,000 now after hero calling Mr FOS.

Levels are now 45 minutes, 36 of the original 96 remain.

Mr FOS... AKA Mr New Asshole.

[tikay]

Down to 3 tables, 26 left, average is probably about 80,000 (plasma is hours out of date), got 83,000. Blinds are 800-1,600, so I have about 50 bigs.

Enjoying this. They ran me off my feet early doors, but it's settled down now, and I feel comfy and in the zone.

It's PLO, so it could all go in any time, but that's the nature of the beast.

12 paid, $14,406 up top.

[tikay]

Bugger.

Flopped the nut straight with extensions, bet it all the way, but the flush rivered. Wasted 10,000 by betting the river, too.

58,000.

24 left.

[tikay]

Bloody Nora, managed to go from 83,000 to 38,000 inside an orbit.

Had A-K on an A-K-x-x-x board, the sneaky German checked his set of kings three times before pulling the trigger. Bang out of order.

Bad 20 minutes that, just when I was in cruise mode.

Change of plan now with my 25 bigs, need to attack.

Radio silence now, need to concentrate.

[tikay]

Table move, better seat, better lighting, so can see the board cards much better now.

21 left.

[tikay]

The slide continues. Raised with good Kings, one caller, it came A high and I could not resist rapping the Ace. Once he called I shut up shop, but done 8,000 in the hand.

30,000 at 800-1,600.

[tikay]

 One hour dinner break, will resume with 16 Bigs.

Will be looking to get them in sharpish, might as well go down fighting.

Hard to believe what a bad level that was, 83,000 to 32,000, I am the greatest.
