Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Aces again, but they all fold.

How did they know?

[tikay]

Amazing that I sat there for 4 hours yesterday, and barely saw or won a single hand.

Today, it is embarrassing.

So far.....

[tikay]

And in outrageous news, I find Aces and LOSE THE HAND.


How bad do I run?

23,000.

[Karabiner]

Try not to blush it's a dead giveaway.

[tikay]

I folded the flop after my man potted it.

I had not improved and had no improvers really.

He showed, he had flopped every possible draw.

Every chance I go busto there if I engage.

Loving the updates tikay, keep it going.

If it was ever possible to squeeze the updates as you post them that's what I'm doing with the scroll wheel on my mouse.

Tiny scroll, read one update, look for the word SCOOPIO, tiny scroll, read the next update.

Great stuff.

[tikay]

Level 12 complete, so first break of the day. Delighted to still be here.

24,800.

Blinds now go a painful 400-800 in the 2 PL disciplines, and 800-1,500 in the Limit orbit.

165 players remain from 688.

Am below average, but not by much.

Gonna be a big 2 levels coming up.

[tikay]

Raised with a pretty hand, one caller.

Flop is awful, I miss the top end and get counterfeited at the bottom end. He pots, we have to fold.

[tikay]

Another hand goes badly wrong and we are slipping back into the red zone.

15,500

[booder]

Calm down.

[Marky147]

Calm down.

[tikay]

Not looking too good right now, just 13,000

We will be getting it in in either this or the next Big O orbit, got no choice. If a suitable hand shows up in O8 or PLO8, fine, we will go with it, but would prefer to take the plunge in Big O.

140 left.

[tikay]

We find a beautifully balanced hand and want action, but only the table shortie is interested, & we crush his soul.

16,500

[tikay]

Level 14 commenced.

500-1,000 for PL, 1,000-2,000 for Limit.

Eek.

[tikay]

126 left.

19,000
