Some advice pls Tony (no hijack)

Limped pot we have 5564 should we limp or fold?

Limp and get the 553 flop checks to cut off Who bets 2k into around 4k and has 10k total only one guy behind covers me. We should?

A few random photos........


Happened upon this parking lot for Clark County School Buses, there were around 150 of them, & it is just one of 7 lots used for overnight parking of School Buses in Clark County.

Which begs the question, how many School Buses are there in the entire USA?

If Wiki is to be believed, the answer is......484,000.


On a flight home once I sat next to a couple n we got chatting .
His job after army retirement was looking after the maintenance schedule of the Clark county school buses
Both were smartly dressed in jeans n him in a pinstripe shirt n blazer bizarrely both wearing flip flops
He said they were the best feet attire in the Vegas heat
They lived quietly near Vegas but never gambled !
Probably the only way if you live here ?

Level 7 was bad, considerable slippage arose and we ended it with just 26,000.

Level 8 now, 400-800.

Amazing how quickly the blinds bite and we slip back into the pack.

Will need to rev things up soon.

Ugh, tragedy strikes, fella just keeled over on the next table, he's out cold.

Clock stopped, obv.

I do hope he is ok. It's awfully upsetting when it happens just like that.

[tikay]

Yay, he's regained consciousness. Don't look well though. Youngish chap.

We’ve been turning the air con off at night Kendall
Not had any problems with flu yet !
The only problem staying downtown is the loud booming music still going at 315 am this morning!
Luckily we were ginned up n fell asleep as soon as the head hit the pillow
Gl today look out for our mate Paul Johnson in the hi lo

Tournament remains suspended, ambulance sent for.

Fella is conscious, but not looking great.

[tikay]

They are going to move the two tables nearest the incident and resume play.

We are one table away, he is laying on the floor about 8 feet away from us.

[tikay]

Paramedics, stretcher and all the paraphenalia arrived.

Meanwhile, play has resumed........

Level 8 ended, poor level. Took 3 pots uncontested then lost a big one to take me back down to 19,000.

Late reg now closed, blinds go 500-1,000.

Time to go time.

 88 of 140 remain, so average is 23,464.

Not in terrible shape, but need to get a shift on.

In more gambling news
The William hill run sports book in the downtown grand advises me that England are minus 525 ?
Obv I have no idea what this means
As the teller explains to me
to win $100 off England s next game my stake needs to be $525 - now that is gambling 😂😂😂

[tikay]

I raise with A-3-10-K and get three bet. Let's go.

He has the near identical A--3-4-K.

A pesky 4 gives him three quarters, as we had the same low.

444444444444444444444, ugh.

12,000.

[tikay]

Next hand, raise with A-2-10-Q and we see a dreadful flop and have to let go.

Desperate straits, so go for it next hand with    and get looked up by A-K-K-7 but we get there.

16,000 @ 600-1,200.

59 left.

[tikay]

Get it in with A-3-9-Q sscc and get one caller.

Wheel for him, flush for me, chop chop.

[tikay]

Level 11 now, 800-1,600, we have 21,000.

Exactly 50 left.

Been moved to a real gambly table. That'll do nicely.
