Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

This is a nice way of getting the bad beats out of your system...

It's a 4-10 because unlike other shotguns it is the bore size,  .410 of an inch.

It was comedy moment lol. Although I think you'd have to be there...

Yes. you had to be there.

It was in the £1/2 no cap cash game, we had a drunk at the table, (He was funny drunk, not obnoxious drunk)

We get involved in this pot where it goes something like straddle straddle call call call call, so quite a big pot pre.

The flop comes and someone bets about £40 and still everyone smooth calls, now it's a very big pot.

When the turn card comes it goes check check check around to Mr Drunk, who slowly separates 3 chips from his stack, holds them up for the dealer to see and announces totally deadpan, "I bet two pounds and fifty pence"

The dealer, also totally deadpan, says "Thank you sir, you get 50p change"

Mr Drunk carefully sets the 50p chip on the top of his stack and says, "Swee...t"

At this point, I lose it completely and can't stop laughing for about 20 minutes, by which time, the whole table is falling about.

Everyone at Chez Red is now heartily sick of hearing me say "Swee..t" at every opportunity, especially as I still can't stop laughing every time I say it.

I was on that table, to your left, hehe

absolutely hilarious and your laugh just emphasized it, then the whole table cracked up. even had a giggle about that the next day, haha.

Main reason it cracked me up was it was £1/£2 so there were no 50p chips on the table lol. Sweeeeet!

[derby]

that, and celebrating with  the classic response "sweet" a 50p refund, of a pot worth nearly £200?

hehe

What's the over/under on the number of "all you can eat" buffets in LV that Red gets banned from ?

[MANTIS01]

Not just poker in Vegas. Some stunning natural scenery, landscapes and nature I'm sure Red will appreciate. However you will play a lot of poker because a strange force compels you to. Best to plan trips before you go, otherwise you will just play poker, whether you think you will or not.

I'm going for 11.


Mrs Red and I went to a Chinese 'all you can eat' buffer the other day. I didn't get banned, but the proprietor said "You velly gleedy"

I mentioned the gun store above.

Rent a bike/car and drive around Red Rock (nature trail rather than casino)

Grand Canyon ldo

Hoover Dam - fugeddaboutit - unless you bring TK -- then you will have brought it upon yourself...

Indoor Skydiving. 

Shark reef (only ok)

Bellagio fountains.  From the street or with a drink in the Fontana Longe, or from Mon Ami Gabi across the road.

Stratosphere Tower

Ghost bar.  Some of the best scenery in Vegas.  And a good choice for your tournament win celebratory bash.

Downtown is hit or miss.  I don't care for it, but for a first time visit, why not write off a day and start in Main St Station, then California, then Plaza and then along Fremont.  Soak up some of the history, and a shot in each casino obviously.

Do a Las Vegas buffet review, comped courtesy of your poker play.  Bellagio, Paris (breakfast mostly) PLanet Hollywood are my usual haunts, see if you can find better.

Dinner.  You are cordially invited.  Make sure you have a good trough at a lunch buffet so I can cope with the bill!

[RED-DOG]

Excellent! (Except I'm saving the Grand Canyon until I can take Mrs Red and I don't do booze)

[Simon Galloway]

That's ok, you do the talking, I'll do the drinking...

[RED-DOG]

Has anyone been watching "The War Weekend" on the Military History Channel? (Sky 531) I bet Kev has.

What horror, what carnage, what courage, what bravery.
