Firstly I would like to thank all of you who  have shown interest and given some advice. You don’t know me, so for you to take the time and bother to post is much appreciated. I don’t have anybody I can talk Poker to, so it’s invaluable to me. $1500 is a lot of money to anyone, I am lucky enough to be able to afford it at this time, but I didn’t get to this stage by not being frugal. I will sleep on it and make a decision about playing tomorrow.
It was a different Scottish gent than the one put forward though.

2nd break, late reg ends when break ends. Just 75 runners according to the screens, of which about 50 remain on 7 tables.

Blinds now go 400-800 in the PL games (seems to be a repeated level, but they have twice got the levels wrong) and 500-1,000 in Limit.

Got 37,000 which is probably about average.

Table is well crazy, 2 guys, who are drinking shots galore, both with over 100,000 are 3 and 4 betting blind every single hand, so it's pretty much playing for stacks if you enter a pot.

Bring it on, fun times, could just as easily be here all night or be back in my room inside the hour.

Great craic, really enjoying it.

Talking of lunatics, Pete Linton has a gazillion chips already.   There are two others applying a lot of pressure too.  Our 4th seat 1 has just arrived. 

Ha, Pete Linton with a stack is a joy to behold.

Good luck David.

Maybe if you are just watching?  He is cut off to my big blind, and the button is just as bad, plus there is a maniac Swede who arrived with 200k.  I must be at twice average now on 150k, he has 250k+.   So big stack or bust coming shortly...




Well yes, not sure I'd want to share tables with him when he's firing on all cylinders.

150,000? Wowzer. You can do serious damage with a pile like that. Tremendous start to day 2.

Am coming back to Rio shortly but I think I'd best steer clear of coming down to see you, you know how it is.

GL GL GL.

You are very welcome to come down and wish Pete Linton luck.

Not sure I have ever seen this before.  Fells arrives from the other room and kind of hovvers around behind me.   Turns out he was waiting for the big blind went past before sitting down.  He has 100k in chips; pigeon*.   I didn't hear it properly, but think he is on a two round penalty.

* I assume that is the correct usage.

Some bloke got collared for that at my table earlier. 'I watched you walk past this table twice trying to miss the blinds, so you're on a  warning'.

Good luck Doobs. Presuming your'e still there. PaulJohnson got about 140k and said bubble just burst.

Yeah, got about 230.  Paul Jackson and Pleno have joined my table.   Pleno nursed a short stack through the bubble (a bit over 50k?)  Pete Linton just went out in a horror 500k(?) pot when 50/50 for the high and with a nut low draw that never came.   He played very well.

Lovely. Good luck, chaps!

If I wasn't up at 8am for Colossus I'd have come back up to rail after dinner

Hope to see monster stacks in the updates.

Great work David, just woken up after a 4 hour half hour nap.

Keep it going.

How can he avoid the blinds in a tournament?

Here you go Tom, I'm assuming this is the chap Mr Doobs was referring to;

This player walked up new to our table in PLO8 tournament and noticed he was BB before walking a lap around room. We caught it and he received one round penalty. Not even a BB ante in this event. #Cheating #CmonMan #BadActing #WSOP

By being ‘between tables’ and delaying his arrival at the new table until the button has passed him.

Yeah, that's him.   I am on the next table with my back to him.   He wasn't even tharlt short, he had about 20 big blinds.

Am still in on 600k+  I am pretty sure I am a top 10 stack, but not top at the table and may well even be 3rd.  It has been a bit wild.

Lest anyone gets confused or led astray - easily done in this case - that's Doobs, not me.
