Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Marky147]

Everyone trying to chip up, or slip off to play something else, obv.

Get them ironed out, Tikay!

[tikay]

Thanks Marky. Do you never sleep?

4 levels completed, first break, 10,700, happy with that.

The aircon has been off all day and it is unbearably hot, I'm bathed in sweat, as is everyone else.

No aircon in Vegas is a right bugger, not sure I can ever recall being inside anywhere in Vegas without aircon, it's not at all nice. First world problems, eh?

[tikay]

Recognised the fella at the other end but could not put a name to the face.

Flushy came to my rescue at the break, it's Martins Adenyis (sp?).

[tikay]

Mixed news, my table has broken, would have been happy to stay there.

In better news, seat 6 this time, so I can see the board clearly, which, truth to tell, kinda helps.

I usually live on NY time, but have been moving myself over to Vegas time for next weekend. Flexibility of working from home

I can get my work done before I go to bed, and then I see my PT before I have the chance to plot up in my chair and dither.

I saw on Twitter they were talking about the aircon, and I think someone was suggesting they should just have a mass walkout.

Martins Adeniya is the lad. I think he was one of the Pokerfarm/Matchbook guys for a bit, was he not?

150-300 now, make it 700 from late position with....

 

3 callers, pot is 3,000.

It comes Q-Q-2, all red and is checked to me. Check.

Turn is a black three.

Checked to me again, which looks like a green light to me, bet 1,900.

Fella insta sets me in. Fold.

6,500 at 150-300, and suddenly I am barely above 20 Bigs.

Give it an orbit or two more, and if no progress, will unveil the spin machine and 3 bet one of these pesky kids with something quirky, and if we can get it heads up we might have a chance.

[Marky147]

[tikay]

Back up to 8,400, but blinds now 200-400, so still only just above 20 Bigs.

Plan is unchanged, this is a sprint, no point sitting all night and waiting.

[tikay]

An open and two limpers and I jam with K-Q-J-10 ccss.

One caller, flop K-10-6, I jam the rest, he calls with A-K but fails to improve.

11,700 at 200-400, so that's a bit more comfortable.

[Marky147]

Get spinning, skipper!

Looking forward to a good half dozen pages when I surface

[tikay]

Raised in early position, 3 callers and I make the call with Q-J-10-9 hh.

Flop is K-8-2, just a spot away from perfect, K-9 would have been Happy Days.

9,000 at 250-500.

Will need to find a spot again soon.

[tikay]

11,200 at 250-500.

Level 4 almost complete, blinds then go 300-600.

Flight B entrants so far = 1,178. Amazingly, just 387 remain.

[tikay]

Take a nice pot last hand pre break to move up to 17,900, which must be close to average.

[tikay]

Late reg has now closed.

[Geo the Sarge]

Early rise this morning for me so at least one on the rail. Good luck.
