Alaska joined the table 4 hands after it started, and the dealer assumed his stack was always in play, so had posted one small blind from him. (Wrongly, his stack was not in play).
Alaska goes nuts at the geriatric dealer. The dealers here are generally elderly, and some are a little past it, but it's Downtown, and it's part of the package here.
Floor are called and no play takes place at our table for the 7 or 8 minutes it takes to resolve.
All for 50 chips.
Alaska gets his 50 chips back and promptly loses 7,000 next hand when his aces got busted.

I've got a good feeling about this one Tony not just because The Nugget is my home away from home in Vegas.
I reckon this BigO is your main game.
Big O certainly me game of choice, and I could happily play at GN every day.
Just got to hope Marky McBok does not decide to rock up.

Just seen two all-ins, it was wheel and 2nd nut flush v steel wheel.
Brutal way to lose half a starting stack.

Thanks Simon.
Dinner break? Sounds a shade optimistic on current form.

Found this corker:
Bit early to go batshit, if the flop,comes low I'd almost certainly have to fold to strength as I can't scoop, so just call Alaska'a bet of 500.
It comes......
Paired boards in Big O are super dangerous, as we have so many possible combos.
I check, and he bets 1,000, and after some dwellage I flat to see what happens on the turn.
I check and he checks behind, so now I'm sure he was fos.
River is a blank, board is high only, I bet 1,500 and he folds and shoots a cold stare in my direction as he mucks. God bless Alaska.

oioi, Doobs is here.
Always feel better when a mate is in the room.
He arrived last night, and is straight into action. Love it.

Paternal eyebrow raising as required, please, Doobs. Don't let him get out of line.

I arrived late yesterday afternoon, so not so hardcore. Got extra security at both ends; must have looked like shit?
I am sat by the door with a slot machine tournament (really) going on behind. Lovely.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Bad news, table move. Rather liked my first table, but can't be helped.
Approaching the end of level 4, nothing much happening, 17,600.

Those things are incredible viewing.
Non-stop action, with people clicking buttons with gay abandon and relentless aggression.
Meanwhile, over in the cardroom...

Called a raise OOP with
It's a raising hand really, but decided to just call pre.
Flop....
I lead out, one caller.
Turn.....
Ugh. It's amazing how one card can change everything.
I check and Very Nitty Very Elderly Lady announces "pot".
Abandon ship. Think I probably butchered that one pre flop.
First break of the day now.
