Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Hey mate best of luck today. Good run last night. Noticed that at first you were "uncomfortable", then you were "in the zone" and about 2 hands later you were "awkward" again. Just wondering if the "in the zone" part can last a little longer tonight?

Thank you, Mark.

So much of the game is in our minds.

FOS was killing me early, and I was feeling very down on myself. Later, we got on speaking terms, and he claimed I made dome amazing lay downs v him as he had it every time. May or may not be true, of course.

I fought back from half starting stack, so I was feeling comfy again, but then I had to fold several hands after pressure, and I flip flopped in my head. Confidence, or lack of, is such a fragile thing.

Anyway, I have prepared as best I can for today, paid in last night, got a good nights sleep, got my work out of the way early this morning (luckily, not much today), got me a Starby, and I'm all set.

Young Master Kimber barely looks old enough to get in a casino in that pic.

It must be the beard.

Not 100% sure, but i think Jeff is 47.

Sounds about right; a year younger than I.

I walked into the Brasilia room, and that rumpy pumpy music was playing, it was so exciting, and emotional, I was halfway between crying with emotion and wetting myself, and was consumed with nerves.

As luck would have it, in orbit one, I won a 1,500 chip pot, which has done me the world of good and settled me down a treat.

I had the nut straight, but it paired on the river, and a serious looking dude - full poker kit, shades, headphones, scowly snarly look - bet half the pot. Butt cheeks clenched, I called instantly, and he threw his cards across the table like a mardybum.

Get outa here, punk, and don't be messing with me.

5000 starting?  Sure you don't mean 4900?

I'm spending the next two hours on a conf call with far too many Brads so lots of updates needed Mr T to stop me chewing my own arm off.

Beardy glasses orange top bloke to my immediate left is the class of the table, and it's not even close. He has 15,000+ already, and is bossing the table. Shame he is to my immediate left.

Anyone know his name? Seems pretty tidy to me.

If only.

7,500 starting.

Beardy glasses orange top bloke is "imalucksack" (sp?) who I believe made 4 final tables in the recent SCOOP.

I'm none the wiser, of course. Bet he does not know who I am, either.

Lives in Mexico, apparently.

Kevin MacPhee, he is a bit of a machine! Pretty sure he is from USA but moved to play online.

Not one to tangle with needlessly IMO.

End of level one, 10,300.

Shame I have that chap to my immediate left, he is a proper pain, in the nicest possible way. A gent, too, but a proper bugger to be directly OOP to.

Yes, deffo an American.

No plans to mess with him, but I think he will give me credit for hands, as he is bound to tag me as a nit.  Pop tendencies, and all that.

IMALUCSAC I think he usually goes by, $4m+ in cashes on stars alone. He is a holdem specialist but his PLO and PLO8 game is strong. On the plus side PLO is probably his weakest game but that isn't saying too much really.

Good mate of The Camel's is Kevin although he had a lot more hair then.
