Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

All set for Millionaire Maker. Brasilia Red table 91. Just under way . Would post pics if anyone can tell me how to reduce the size on my I- Phone 6 to 600kb

I did a post on here explaining it when you first got the phone.

Think that was me Tom, not slowmo.

Me, I'm an expert at it now. (it's been fantastic, ty ty).

I've got HUNDREDS of photos of our West Coat Adventure, & if you don't behave, I'll post a bunch of them. And you don't want THAT......

I thought it was you asking. My bad.

Got KK again , one caller , inevitable ACE flops , I bet and get called ( oops ) put him on a small to medium ace , turn is a blank  , I chech , he bets. about 25% pot  , I  push he folds  , LOL
2nd break, time for a smoke , 6500 chips ( starting stack 7500 ) blinds on restart are 150 /300 ante 50 so 950 a round . Can't sit around long

Good luck Simon.

You would appear to have missed the club championship tomorrow(no I'm not playing) so you'd better put your best foot forward in this milly-maker. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course on your return - as good as I've seen it in 30+ years.

Looking forward to being back Ralph . Hope you are well and your golf game is in good shape .
Millionaire Maker update - accident in the big blind with J -4 clubs , called Button  raise ,  flop Q , J 9   - 3 diamonds . He bets I call , check check on 5 clubs turn , river is 10 diamonds . What do you do ?

[Karabiner]

Either make a big bet or surrender I reckon.

Did you shove and get it through?

[slowmo]

Bet 60%. Of the pit and got called by 5 diamonds !!  Maybe bet size was too small but also wanted to make it look like I wanted a call . Anyway 6 hours gone , 13000 chips to return after dinner break to 250/590 , 75 ante so 1500 chips every 10 hands . 4 hours of play remaining today so Time to spin it up to a playable stack for tomorrow.

Sounds to me that you are going along nicely, Simon. A good level or two after the break and you will be right in the mix for day 2.

Good luck.

Thank Tony but busto 9 Hours and 40 mins into play and bust with 20 mins left for the day . Short stack and needed to double up and ran A-8 spades into 10-10 of Simon Deadman. 2 spades on flop and having the ace meant I was almost 50/50 but a useless jack and even more useless deuce meant that was all they wrote . Really close to the money too as paying. Over 1100 places and there will be maybe  1200 at the end of play . # pissed off
I have to say Simon Deadman is a really great guy , sat next to him for the last hour or so and he is a real gentleman. Softly spoken , acts impeccably at the table eyc etc . He reminds me very much of Thewy . Class . Hope he goes deep tomorrow.

I just quoted some of your spam next door!

I feel dirty!

Hope Vegas is going well sir

Ha, yes, I saw it, on the "Team Negative" thread.

You did well. Fancy a job?

If it includes a trip to Vegas I could be persuaded!

Unforch, time is very short. Bit like you, I suppose.

Today, I was due to play this.....

Golden Nugget, Sunday 12th June, 11am, $240 PLO8


I'm going to have to miss this, I'm afraid. I got rather badly sunburnt over in California, & I don't take sunlight too well - I'm bright red - positively shining - & my hands & arms have swollen up quite badly, coupled with moderately severe heat rash. It's quite normal for me, I don't take heat & sun very well, but it clears up very quickly.

I'll be back in action tomorrow, though, in a carbon copy of today's affair, & then again on Wednesday, when I'll be back at PH for another bash at Big O. 

Binions, Monday 13th June, Noon, $240 PLO8

Apologies all, but it can't be helped. Look at it as $240 saved......

Unlucky, Simon, but yeah, if you are going to donate to anyone, Mr Deadman is a fine beneficiary.

Amazing that you come all the way to Vegas & end up donating to a Notts regular.

Did you enjoy it?

Wasn't expecting anything back so feels like a win.

Look after yourself out there and good luck.
