absolutely brilliant stuff

cashing in in vegas

dreams are made of the stuff

on the subject of nerves

the deeper in a tourney i get the less nerves i get

navigating the early donks gets my pulse going,,but when i get up there or thereabouts i get some sort of calmness descend on me..


i guess they call this ' in the zone'

dunno wot u think of  that?

[matt674]

I felt there was a lot of distractions in the live play and felt a little nervous and couldnt play my usual aggressive way so now I'm going to try to do it again:)

Hang on - did you not once come 3rd in a blonde bash tournament when you had the distractions of Chubbs and Snatiramas?

Take no prisoners!!

keep up the good work

[madasahatstand]

Bhoy, I agree that as the tourney goes on the nerves do get less and I think I was mixing the nut jobs up with good players:)

Matt, I was r ather intoxicated at the Blonde one so there was no room for nerves. In Caesar's I played cold stone sober and I'm glad I did because you can keep a much clearer head.

Well today I went back to Caesar's and I was looking forward to taking it down again. The first picture is me on the way in feeling pretty confident:)  So the tourney got going and this young hothead and I found ourselves in a pot in the first level.  He had the full regalia on - big hoody and dark glasses....lol  He bet out, I RR with my AK  and he called. The flop comes down Q low low. He's first to act and puts me all in. I fold   Bummer!!!!!!!!. So with half my stack left I think I'm going to look for some premium hands and play tight. About 10 hands later I get the pocket rockets and put in a bet 3 times the BB. All fold to this Mexican lady who sticks me all in. My lucky night or so I thought. I do an instacall and she shows my favourite hand- 10 J suited. You know whats coming next....... She hits a J on the flop then another on the turn and I exit Caesar's 3pm The second photo is what I think of Caesar's today...lol

Anyway, it wasn't all bad because I managed to buy some lovely clothes from my favourite shop ( 4th photo) before the game started so my thoughts drifted back to that and the helicopter ride I'm going on tomorrow. And Tikay I'm going to the Hoover Dam, Lake Meade and having a champagne lunch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. All this on my own because Brad is a coward and wont fly in a copter...lol  Oh, and weather was beautiful today and I only needed 3 layers:)

Now I'm going downstairs to the Venetian cardroom to play some $1/2 cash so wish me luck:)

Thanks Scott but im going to have a little brandy now so I'll likely lose it all. My limit is going to be 100 bucks. Maybe I shouldnt do the minimum buy-in as I'll likely get bullied but my plan is to sit back, pretend I'm tight then let it flow...................

C'mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely Vegas Diary, please keep it going.

If you swim in Lake Meade, please take care to get hosed down afterwards, & carefully block up any, err, orifices in your body.

They have a plague of "intrusive snails" there, & they get, literally, everywhere.

The problem is detailed on hundreds of signs around the Lake.

I'm serious now!

And enjoy Hoover Dam, too. It's monstrously big & clever.

I'd rather you did not take the Helicopter Trip though. They are far & away the most dangerous way of non-fixed-wing flying.

get more piccies up!!!!!!!

Here is a piece on the intrusive snails/mussels.

And be careful of this, too.....

[suzanne]

Don't think any of us who have played with you are surprised Mad.

Enjoy it, good game, well played.

Exactly!!! Go for it girl but more important enjoy :-)

[madasahatstand]

And be careful of this, too.....

LMAO  well i reckon Im going to take your advice Tikay:)  Well wait a minute, I'm in vegas and people might pay good money for that!!!!!  lololol

[madasahatstand]

Well folks, I'm oot on my ear with the cash. I got it up to about $160, which wasn't much but lost it all in 2 hands more or less. The last hand I had QQ on the BB. The SB raised it up to $10 and I RR to $20 and he called.  The raises were going wild at the table and nobody was raising less than $10 on $1/2. It was only him and I in the pot after they all fold. The flop came low cards with nothing on- 6 2 9 rainbow. SB raises $20 and I RR $40, he calls. I'm thinking he has nothing or maybe and A 9 or AK and he's missed the flop but has another pop with the continuation bet? I should have known better. Anyway, the turn comes J and he checks and I go all-in:( He thinks and thinks then calls me with his KK.....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The river came Ace and I was done. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and that might bring some new joy for me? You never know
