Chezger hits vegas (and other spots)

[Laxie]

If it were any other time of the year, I'd look after you, but we're heading to America ourselves around that time.  Ohio.  Sigh.

Chezger home players went on tour again to the APAT in Scotland and had a ball of a time. Friday nights S&G was a, umm, different kind of game. Carl (Shogun) and George (Geo the Sarge) seemed to have found the early all in buttons in each game. In the second hand of game 1 Carl flopped a 8 to his 88  whilst George held QQ (top pair to the Jack high flop). Bet, bet, all in, call and all the chips were deposited in the middle.

Wow, here we go George is set to become the resident dealer, turn 9.   River 10, George hits the straight. Lots of nh,gg,wp (oh yeah and a couple of wtf’s). The game meandered on with people being regularly outdrawn (or just plain hammered). I left the affray after Glen (Bigfella) decided to raise with pocket 3’s and I decided to reprise with A 10 (the rock had lowered his starting hands ). Must just be me or did the table not stop laughing for ages after a complete miss in the middle to my over cards. Pete &  Lynn chopped that one.

Second game was a little looser, however Carl & George clashed again early doors. George bets, Carl raises, George Calls. Flop Q 8 7, Carl bets, George raises, Carl all in, George call. George turns over A Q – Carl (pausing for maximum effect) turns K K. No help for George. Nip & tuck for a while (well in my case sip & no luck) and Jack (Technolog) luck boxed a split, luck boxed a straight and, well to be quite frank luck boxed the win with Lynn second..  Great night, great company priceless…

The APAT day started, for me anyway, grindingly slow. Had Mary (xxMAIRxx) on my left excellent company. Her and her man top people. After 3 hours I have exactly 175 chips more than the starting stack… That was really the tone of the day dodging dangerous pots, stealing pots. When the tables broke up I was moved to table 1 two seats to the left of Eck, oops he has some game that fella. Anyway continued in my tight demeanor. During this stage Eck got into a race with 10 10 against Ace high at least 5 times and his 10 10 lost three of them (one against my AK suited) however he stuck at it and never faltered and made day 2.

In the very last hand of day one I was BB and had 24k in chips with the blinds 2k 4k. Middle man goes all in for about 30k. I see J8 of hearts in my hand, do I come back tomorrow with  24k, do I hell.. Call….. He turns A K

Flop A (bugger) J (hope) 4…. 

Turn 8 (get in 54k and day 2 beckons)

River… A (double bugger). Never mind I had a great day and learned a lot sitting with good people and had great Craic.. again you can't put a price on these trips..

Had another hilarious S&G with a few friends, so top notch… That Kinboshi fella really is a few chips short of a portion. It was difficult to see the cards with the tears streaming down the cheeks. “What’s the blue chip worth, Ok I’ll see your blue chips with black chips, sod the numbers let’s play colour poker”

Big, big up for Glen who took down the Silver on Day 2 when starting the final day last in chips. Top man (his dog also ran in second in Cork). Also Eck who finished 6th (the man is fearless)

These days are the reason I love the live game TK, Des & Tighty are top people. All combatants were in good spirits and the casino welcoming..

Now for DTD next weekend, Chezger home players will again be represented. Looking forward to it immensely. 

[Bigfella]

Just back myself and must agree it was a great weekend. Really enjoyed the compnany of the blondes and chezgers there's never a dull moment when they're around!!! Delighted with my performance - decided to do a bit of kingpokering and richeoing on the final table and it seems to work!!

The three way hand at the end was a classic - a real internet special. Button limps with 67, sb calls with a2, I check with 34. Flop 345!!! I insta called the short stack sb's all in, then was amazed to hear chip daddy come over the top to put me all in. The cheeck of it!! His move made no sense unless he had a monster - bluffing there was a waste of time and the speed of my call told him I had a huge hand. So I folded - not sure that's out of the school of aggression but my read was correct.... until I saw i would have hit a house on the river!!

Anyway, if i can place it gives us all hope!! See you all at dtd next week and great weekend, thanks of course to des, tikay and tighty. My word, only 4 days to nottingham, I'm gonna have to book into the Betty Ford next week!!

[Shogun112]

Well done Glenn..  You were worth a win..!!!

my god those prices are a rip off for november
flight should be max 300 with 1 stopover
hotels you need to start gambling black jack or craps stick loads of money down on table to get max rating and spend little so you get casino rate for hotel
and keep it up all week long an hour a day will get you room rate halved

[350z]

£579 for the imperial looks a good deal too me,its not the best/most up too date hotel but its clean and tidy and its on the strip, i would be more than happy too go there again in november.

Flights with 1 stop on route are pricy at mo, they usually are this far away. As shown by direct flights for only £20 more. I will look to book from end of August.
Also flights are a little more than £300 now as new fuel surcharges have been bought in which have upped price. Much will depend on the summer holiday market.

When we were in Vegas I bought some "speed" cloth for the home game table -- It is awesome the cards glide across it beautifully -- as do the chips when I pass them over 

Carl (Shogun) fitted it on Tuesday Night -- (he also built the table) - Handy neighbour -- top bloke

Doesn't seem to be and to be honest the July hordes will not be there as it is only 9 people coming back -- but will keep a eye on the prices daily

[The_duke]

By now you all must know about the forum challenge in July. There will be a home game in Chezger on the Friday before if any Blonde would like to attend.

Full webcam will be in operation and that is now in position (avatar)

It is restricted to 18 (12 so far) -- (if more apply a draw will be made - or maybe 10 per table at a push) open to Chezger home players, Blondes/APAT members
