Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Not exactly the nut seat draw, but it'll do for starters.

[tikay]

Level 1 negotiated with reasonsble safety, 13,100 from 15,000 starting.

Sounds bad - well, is bad - but I was down to 8,700 at one point, so can't complain really.

Got most of the losses back in a 5 way pot when I turned the nut high, then faced a bet and 3 callers on a flop and turn with 2 low cards. I did not have a playable low so had to pump it up and lose all my customers, but I don't think I have any choice in that spot.

152 runners so far.

New player arrived to my immediate left.

Level 2 complete, 162 entrants now, blinds now go 100-200.

Table is incredibly aggro, and we have lost 3 players from this table already, and 17 in total.

Not exactly crushing, have 12,200, but that'll do for now.

Decent table, 3 top class players, the rest of us pretty average.

It's fearfully noisy here.

Am in the section right in front of the sportsbook. They are showing Mexico v USA in soccer, and the Stanley Cup final, so everyone is whooping and hollering as only American sports fans can.

Not complaining like, obv, but I do like a bit of hush and decorum, as I'm quite posh.

3:15am here, can't sleep tonight which is unusual for me so catching up on your exploits.

Hopefully you can find a couple of nice spots and some scoopios, gl.

Oioi, Kimber is in town.

Will need a few nice spots soon, can't hit a thing here, and am down to 10,600 at the end of level 3. (First break).

182 runners of which 152 remain, blinds now 150-300.

Not to be rude to or about JJ, but he is playing abso spanners and hitting every time. Think he must have 30,000. Good luck to him, but I fancy he and I will be going to war at some stage.

This man just came to say hi - how Lucky was that?

[Marky147]

Lets have some assholes ripped!

[tikay]

And this young chap just joined our table, 2 seats to my right. Things are about to get even tougher.

[tikay]

This alternate ticket is a clue that a major accident just arose, and, inevitably, it  was against JJ.

I limped UTG with

 

JJ raised, and due to his eclectic range, he collected SIX callers.

This was exactly the plan, so I potted it, and, exactly as expected, he re-potted. As sure as God made little apples, I know I am ahead of JJ here.

But then, to my surprise, geezer round the back, new to the table, calls all in. I call too, obv.

JJ tables (something like) 9-10-J-K and the other fella has A-3-5-8.

The J-7-6 flop was about as good as I dare expect, but JJ somehow got there with runner runner straight. And then, incredibly, said "really sorry Tony" which I really appreciated. Ish.

The other geezer took the low, so that was that. I was really surprised when he came along, though am not saying it was a bad play. The plan was to get heads up with JJ, and if that had happened, we chop.

Such is life, on we go.

Didn't know Darius played poker.

Haven't heard a thing about him for years, wonder if he is still singing (hopefully not?).

His father was my mothers GP for many years.

Meanwhile, in better news, on my new table I raise it up with a nice double suited combo hand, and get re-raised, FML.

Decide to take a flop and re-assess.

Long story short, I walked into aces, but got three quarters of a monsta pot, and am now sitting behind a nice looking 26,000.
