Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Next hand, facing a pot bet raise (28,000) I commit with the so beautiful A-A-2-5-7, he sets me in - yes please - & he is in a world of pain with A-3-Q-K-K.

The 3-3-9-J-J board is a shocker and sends me home.

Guess I used up my run good earlier in the day and was due a beat, though that was a real thin one.

19th place, and just $362, but it's a start, and we are off the mark.

Damn, that was cruel.

Well played, and enjoy the cash game you're no doubt off to

[celtic]

Well done you fucking asshole 👍

[Steveswift]

Unlucky with the last hand. Loving the reports

[Karabiner]

Definitely a move in the righr direction - almost got around to making a cup of coffee this morning.

[superwomble]

Well done, as soon as I mention I missed the staking you get a cash!

[Knottikay]

About time FFS!


Sounds like you are really enjoying the games too, so all good. Well done of on your 1st cash of many.

Unlucky with exit hand Tikay.

Morning all.

Well what a disappointment that was. Big chips all day, & then when it mattered, the wheels came off.

Had no interest in min cashing, & put my chips at risk several times just before & on the bubble, had a top 3 finish in my mind. These spots don't arrive very often, I only play live once per year, on my Vegas trips, so need to take advantage of them when I get deep. Anyway, it is what it is. And if there is a minor positive, at least I've not had need for any 2nd bullets yet.

So, $362 for 9 hours, minus the $250 entry is.......not a lot. I play scores of cash hands every night for more than that & don't bat an eyelid, but there I was in a Tourney getting all excited.    

$362 is £2.70 sterling, so 1% buyers must be jolly excited at the prospect of £2.70 coming their way if I brick the rest of the schedule......

I find the new loosey goosey approach quite thrilling

Today, we are back Downtown for the 4th time on the bounce;

WEDNESDAY 6th June, Binions, $365 PLO


11am (7pm UK) start.


30,000 chips, 30 minute levels, blinds start at the rather odd 100-100 level. It's quick though, after 100-100, it's 100-200, 200-400, 300-500, so can't be hanging about in this one.

First time I've played PLO this trip, so it'll be fun.
