Got back friday lunchtime, and couldn't get into my flat!

Whilst I was away, the management company decided to change the locks on the communal door. Apparently they wrote to everyone to tell us they were doing it. Still waiting for that letter.

I rang them to see what was going on, and got some guy telling me there is nothing on the system, so it must be my key. I told him that the barrell on the lock has clearly been changed, to which he replied, Oh, OK, I will pass it on to the relevant team, and they will get back to you. I left it an hour and rang back, got a different guy, he said, You rang earlier? Yes, to find out what is going on. It's been passed on to the South Team, they will contact you, probably Monday. LOL, OK, so what do I do til then? Umm, dunno. So i say to him, is there anyone else I can speak to? No point, they will tell you the same thing. Right. Thanks. At this point I remembered I had the mobile number of the estate manager, who confirmed it been changed, and told me the story about the letter being sent out. Managed to get in about 7pm, via the girl upstairs. New key was in the flat thankfully.

Had a shower and got changed, was due to go to a school reunion, was sort of looking forward to it. Picked up my phone, and realised it needed charging, Plugged it in, and decided to have a lie down for 10 mins. Woke up at 6am on saturday morning. wp me.

Decided to go to Luton on Saturday for the £40 f/o, After all, I hadn't been there for nearly two weeks..

Two tables out, I got gifted chips twice, and then on the final, me and the other chip leader got involved in a huge pot, My AA v his AQ on a Q high board. That gave me over 60% of the chips in play. Eventually got heads up, and the other guy wanted to play, as he had never been heads up before. I was happy with that too, though once he told me, he had never been heads up before, I know I was never gonna win. We eventually got it in pre, with near identical stacks. My AK v his 77 and bricked. Still, was happy to come 2nd.

Went to Luton yesterday and was probably 2nd out.

Consistency ftw.

My body clock seems to have gone tits up, I went to bed early (for me) 12 last night, and woke up at 3.15am. Felt like I had slept 20 hours. Haven't felt this good for a long time, don't really feel tired atm either.

Jetlag 1 Vinny 0.

Don't really know where to start about Vegas. I was planning on updating daily, but that sort of went out the window after Day 1.

I will start with some memories, and see where it goes, prob won't interest many people, but it will be good for me to look back on.

I had, by far, my best trip to Vegas, ever. From the moment I got there, til the moment I left, I really felt like I was enoying myself.

Everything just seemed to click at the right time.

On the poker front, I was disappointed, I had some deep runs in comps, but for a couple of mistakes & some coolers, I might have made a nicer profit for my stakers.

Days 2 & 3 were quiet, went deepish in the $500 & $300 at the Venetian, but no cashes, was a good way to settle down for the rest of the week, particulary the next three days.

Day 4 was were it started getting a bit hectic.

I decided to skip the 1k at the Venetian, in favour for the $250 at Caesers, found my self down to 10 bigs, as just couldn't get going, so started shoving, the table was fairly passive, and I had soon doubled up without showdown. Then I got 1010 in v AK & AQ and held, for a huge pot, that made me near chip leader.

Got moved table and met two English guys, Andy Brady & Sam McDonald, think Andy is a friend of titaniumbean? Got involved in a nice hand v another big stack, he raised to 8500, i 3 bet to 23500 with AK and he called. We ch/ch the flop, and I got the bingo A on the turn. He checked, I bet small, he jammed, I called, he had AQ. wiiiiii

Afterwards, he said he was surprised I had called so quick, umm, OK. Got down to 28 let, and Andy shoved from MP, I re-shoved AQ from the SB and lost v 33. Left me 8 bigs that i got in on the button with 10 5 parsley, and ran into A 10 in the sb for a $460 cash. Was looking good until then too. Sigh.
