Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[EssexPhil]

Going to Vegas, Alan? You should have said

No truth in the rumour that you failing to bubble Vegas sats caused the entire site to give up on its own RNG

Seriously, if you can download the client (and I appreciate some, such as Mac users cannot), it is remarkably similar to the old site. Main differences being lower guarantees and higher overlay. Which, for me at least, is a great compromise.

Very best of luck in Vegas. And I promise you will not be out of your depth. Enjoy.

And now, a FIRST in the 20 year history of blondepoker.

Vinni (celtic) was RIGHT.

Haven't logged in for years and this is the first post I see - wtaf?
I'm off.

our american friends do like to get a tad excited from time to time  , bit like tikay screaming "GET IN THE HOLE"  off the tee  on a par 5 , fair play though he got what he asked for ...

Tikay and I have cashed.  I have 150k and Tony 100k

Hurrah! Well done both, more of the same please x

[Supernova]

Congrats on your latest cash Tikay. Really enjoying yours, and Stuart R's, updates.

I am another 'sky reg' not able to get to grips with the new Sky Poker home. Unable to download the client, so have just played some freerolls on the website.......and not really impressed with the whole set up with that TBH.

Going to have a break with online (probably way overdue anyway) until I get back from Vegas (Did I mention I was going this year?  ), and then look for other sites to join/play on. Shame really, as I would say over 95% of my online playing was on Sky Poker.

Looks like you will not be out there when the package winners get there. Another shame. I was going to buy you a coffee and an iced bun too  . Really looking forward to my trip though.....albeit with some fear at being overwhelmed by it all and completly out my depth.

Well done to the other cashes jumping on this diary to boast too 

You'll be fine Al, honestly, good luck too and any other Blondes I have missed.

[tikay]

Thanks very much.

Was quite a day.

In the WSOP thing I eventually finished 94th for $3,310, just a few spots better than THE MAN himself, Chufty.

Not at all sure what Flag that is Hendon has given me though.

[tikay]

So I departed "Paris" at around 6.30pm & in pouring rain (in Vegas of all places) happily drove back to my Hotel, the Orleans, looking forward to a nice relaxing evening with my book. 

Arrived just before 7pm & as I trundled through the poker room on way back to my Room I noticed that their $240 Omaha Mix still had 1 minute of Late Reg remaining.

But of course after those two long days it made no sense to enter.

[tikay]

...but I could not resist, regging with 1 minute to spare.

[tikay]

With just 25 BB I had to play with a little more urgency than is my usual pedestrian gait, but once I'd secured a 2XUp I reverted to my usual tortoise-like pace.

Turned out ok though, finished 5th of 111.

[tikay]

So that was worth a very pleasing $1,310 on top of the earlier cash.


WARNING - shameless chirp incoming.


So that's the 2nd time this trip I've cashed in two different Tournaments on the same day.

Think I've used up my run-good for the rest of the trip.

YOLO one of the WSOP 10ks which suits you best

sell 50% on here and use your profits for your half

do it

[tikay]

Was delighted for Dooobs too, he seemed to get brutally unlucky when it most mattered.

Spent some time with Rob (animal) who has had no luck yet but trust me, he will notch up a few results before heading all the way back to Cornwall.

Had a chat with Chufty, who I'd not seen for years.

Bumped into Mad Turk & Adam Wilko, who had just had a proper cash at Wynn, not one of my piddlearse ones, think it was $148,000. Yikes.   

Just got to sort some stuff then I'll try to resume replying to some of the other posts. And I promise, no more chirping.

Well done on the cashes Tikay, let's get a big un under the belt.

Off to pack, got our annual Devon golf weekend starting tomorrow.

Congratulations Tony.  Will see you in a bit.

Very well done on the double cash Tony - I envy your stamina not to mention all those flags!
