Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

I turn 10-10-10 with an ace kicker on a 10-5-6-10 dry board in a limped pot with 3 players behind me, including Vietnam, and limp.

Nobody bites.

River is an 8, a complete blank, and now I bet. Vietnam min raises me.

I flat.

He had X-X-8-8.

Cracking play. Wait till they are ahead before betting.

[Chompy]

"Well played you..."

Do it! Makes you feel good.

I'm not Fonda your play in that hand.

Umm, I do wear glasses.....

Heh, I'm the same, have to ask the dealer for the suits if I'm in 2 or 8. Also get asked why I don't wear glasses - I'm already wearing four contact lenses, can't see glasses improving it any.....

[tikay]

The Old Man and Vietnam eventually get it all in on the turn of this board.....

 

Old Man says "I have a straight...." and throws K-Q on the table but before he can continue Vietnsm says "same hand, chop it up".

Old Man then continues "...and a boat" and slowly places his  J-10 on the table.

Table in hysterics, and to be fair, Vietnam takes it well.

[tikay]

My turn now.

Vietnam raises my big for the 7,000th time and I 3 bet with 

He calls, as always.

Flop 7-5-4, two clubs.

I bet 4,000, Vietnam makes it 10,000.

I insta jam.

After an eternity, he folds.

Better.

[Longines]

In that hand......

I think how much we have behind is quite important here.

Grant - don't forget we have $260 invested, which, if we run the hand through a calculator, must make a difference.

Assume it ends up as a $4250 pot and we have $260 in and $1140 behind.

1140/4250 = 26.7% equity required.

I'm struggling to think of two hands that players who can run up those stack sizes would pot pot that don't have you crushed?

[tikay]

I open with.....

   

Two flat calls then Vietnam raises, and I pot it.

He flats.

 

I jam and he eventually folds, saying I got lucky.

YBA son. Jump around, jump around.

[tikay]

68,000 at 500-1,000, average 54,000.

Bedtime, hoping for at least 8 pages to read over the cornflakes. Good luck Mr T.

[tikay]

Flop 2 pair and flush draw three way and check call the button.

Check check on the turn.

I don't improve but bet the river on a straighty flushy board.

Kid dwells then flats with better 2 pair.

He was actually ahead every street.

Bedtime, hoping for at least 8 pages to read over the cornflakes. Good luck Mr T.

Thanks Grant.

8 pages is optimistic, there are only 34 players left from 68 and we have not been playing 4 hours yet.
