Luton & The Aftermath - Diary

[celtic]

Sigh, just bust the $350 today, exit hand AA v JJ with Chompy cheering for the other guy, got some night comps and a day one tomorrowto play still on the stake.

Not too happy about coming home, if i'm honest, but I spose I have to go back sometime.

Poker has been poor. I have had a great time here, got so much to write about, will prob do when I get back, if not before.

I may post random notes to remind myself on the thread. They may make sense later.

Vinni tried to register for the Venetian jobbie yesterday - & got REFUSED ENTRY.

He was happy about that, demanding to see "someone in higher authority", & eventually resorted to seeking advice by 'phone from a respected high roller, with "connections" - Chompy.

Trust me, it's true.

A bunch of us - Gav, Dean, Scotty, witnessed the whole thing. We were so sad for him.

Wot was their reason?
I've got a feeling that his backers called the card-room and asked them to stop letting him play maybe?

They had seen his golf swing

Urgh. Back home, well, not home, but at my dad's. Strange goings on at the flat, more details when I know what's going on.

Lay down for 10 minutes last night, whilst charging my phone, before I go out. Woke up 12 hours later! wp me.

Seriously considering Luton this afternoon. Seems like ages since I played poker.

While I'm contemplating going to Luton, let me tell you about this strange hand, that happened in Vegas.

Claypole & I decided to play an $80 sng satty 'for fun'

2000 chips, with the blinds at 25-50, 10 runners, two winners get $300 in lammers & $40 in chips.

They are generally very soft, I don't know why I don't play them more often, I played 3 this trip, and cashed in two of them, the one exception being me calling a pf raise with A9 and cr all in on a AJX flop and getting called by JJ and AA lol. wp me.

Anyway, back to this sng, i'm playing 1400 and in the BB. Folds round to the button, who makes it 300, the SB calls, and I make it 1200, the button dwell folds, and the big blind is having a think, so I say to him, lets get it in now. He thinks for a bit longer, and longer. Meanwhile, I have my remaining 200 chips, in my hand, ready to push them over the line, and he calls, leaving 600 back! wtf?

Flop comes 5 8 7cc. He checks, and I bet 100, he sighs, and folds showing K 10. Claypole is pissing himself, and saying how can you fold? He says he knows he is behind, so I flip 34ss. wp sir.
