Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Unlucky mate, GG.

And howdy Master Bates!

On the plus side a $10-$25 Big O table has got going in the cash game room. Just re-count the money from the money exchange 25 times and you will have a full free buy in.

Had another cracking session of Big O cash last night (Saturday night) playing from 10pm until 6am non-stop. Never had so much fun.

Pulled up a total of $1,000 (2 x $500), then lost it all bar $120 in a $3,000+ pot when my broadway nuts got rivered when the board paired.

Spent the next 6 hours spinning the $120 back up before quitting at 6am.

Cashed in for $993, & positively skipped up the corridor, as it felt like I had won $1,000.

It was not until I got back to the room that I realised in fact I had lost $7 on the night, & spent 8 hours doing so.

Huge fun, but hardly crushing.

No more Big O cash now until Wednesday of next week earliest, as I won't be playing cash whilst Gill is here.

Really enjoyed the PLO8 tonight, too, but Levels 4, 5 & 6, where I fell behind the count, eventually proved my undoing, & I exited early in Level 10.

Was really good to share a table with Flushy, & we clashed a few times.

OK, best do some work.

Another decent run Tony, I'm sure you'll connect with a decent cash soon.

They used to have really comfortable chairs for the cash-games at The Venetian but the tourney ones were terrible, glad to hear they've upgraded them.

....you should have brought a piece of flushy on your exit. Some bloody professional staked player you are FFS.

Sounds like you are having a blast though. Hope you enjoy some quality time with your better half as well now (Gill, not Jeeves).

Once again, I really wish I was there.

Traditional shit start to the stake I see....

Hi tikay, just read your blog and can tell you that in Dover (just down the road from Folkestone) it is currently a reasonable 19 degrees Celsius. I'm sure you're glad to hear that... I am still longing for the sun of Vegas - it already seems so long ago! I hadn't heard of Adam Owen - it is good to know we can produce some good players down here

We went up to Mt Charlston early this morning, & I spotted this beauty.

I've no idea if it is a moth, or a butterfly, but I do know it was the biggest bugger I've ever seen by a long chalk - it's wingspan was a good 6".

If there are any butterflyologists or merthologists amongst our readers, any idea what it is?

It's a moth, you can tell by the feather-like antennae, butterflies have straight antennae.

Will need some google-fu to find what species.

Later today, I'll be venturing along to Planet Hollywood (ugh) to play the $240 6 handed Big O. Really looking forward to this one. I don't know if running updates will be possible, as I've no idea if PH have wifi in the cardroom.

After that, no more poker until Sunday, as we head over to California on Thursday for a couple of days.

Take a light, apparently. Heard the PH cardroom is very dark.

I'll try and get over to PH tomorrow if I can, dependent on the 2-7 finishing.

I'll try anf get over to

Tal is the PH expert, last time I played there he outlasted me by some distance.

My recollection was that the room was very dark, & the music very LOUD. That apart, it was fine.

I railed that 2-7 for a while tonight. Think it has a good few hours play remaining.

Sigh. I didn't spot you. Have your cash here as well.

GL tomorrow!
