Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

I wouldn't but the other guy acts so badly in a situation where he's clearly trying to take advantage of an old and unconfident man for the cameras.

To be fair, the other guy takes it very well.

May as well put my favourite two hands up..



"I played it like a set. I did have a set."

What a delusional man.




The funniest hand in the history of poker.

It was more a series of hands than just one, but Helmuth v Robert "Le Dangereux" Cohen in Late Night Poker series#5 was pretty damn hilarious too.

Found it I think but not much cop at embeddaments:

Morning all.

Will reply & thank folks for the lovely comments soonest, but I've had to catch up on my work Next Door this morning, so it won't be before play starts. (In 30 minutes).

Stakers Update

Obviously, but for the record, I won't be plying this today.....


Golden Nugget, Thursday 23rd June, 11am, $350, Big O


Shame in some ways, as it's my best game, but we can't have it both ways. More money off the bill.

[Karabiner]

Best of luck to both of our intrepid heroes today.

Looking forward to epic double-squeezes..

Here's the payout structure, which as you can see, is fearfully flat at the bottom end.....

I know it's wrong, but I can't help but aim to cash first, it would keep us in profit (so far) & it's important that I try & get the stakers money back.

If I get into the money, & have 10-20 Bigs, I'll then try & gamble a bit more. Having said that, I can trundle along for ever in PLO, accidents notwithstanding, with 10 - 20 Bigs, so If I am still in when the bubble bursts, whilst I would like to open up a bit, I'm not sure I will, or can. I only know one way to play, & I don't really do much flair stuff.

Anyway, let's try & cash first, then take it from there.

I know it sounds a bit daft, but it would mean a whole lot to me to cash in this, especially after such a tough seat & table yesterday.

And there's a thing with people of my age - we desperately want to show we can still pay, or do stuff. And of course, we can't, we are never as good at nearly 70 as we were at 20, 30 or 40, but it becomes a bit of a chip on the shoulder to show we've not completely lost it.

Best wishes & run good vibes today to Natalie, Adam & Tal Bloke today.

All 3 on the Final Table, please.

All 3 of them have been very supportive to me out here, railing me (hardly exciting stuff), fetching me lattes etc. I hope they get their just rewards today.

I wonder what Pleno & all the other Big Boys must think of all this fuss for what is, with any luck, be a trivial min cash for a couple of thou?

Plenners comes on every Monday, "5 final tables, won about $57,000, standard Sunday" sorta thing, & nobody says a word.

I find myself in with a shot at $2,200, & get page after page of well wishers.

Funny old game.

Right, I need to go find my seat, & unbag. LOVE unbagging.

It's dreadfully cold in the Amazon Room, so, I'm wrapped up with a scarf & a hoodie. The outside temperature is currently 41c......

70 is the new 60. Fact.
