Diary Of A Fenland Punterer

[Chompy]

Caesar's? Phumph. Don't see the appeal at all. Great when it's busy but it never is these days and it's like a library when it's under half full imo. Got over to The Venetian please.

[the sicilian]

Two trips to Luton G in three days. Two wasted journeys.

Turned up for the £280+£20 and only 26 were playing. Sigh. Four paid maybe? Advertised as a two-dayer too, so every chance someone will kick up and insist the final table be played tomorrow.

Meh to that. So bought in for the GUKPT £300 at The Vic on Thursday and the £250 short-handed a week on Tuesday, and it was off to the other casino down the road for the £35 self deal.

That sure went well. Lasted two hands and nearly got in a fight. I was in seat 5. In seat 3 was Nick The Judge. We had a quick chat, then it was his turn to deal...

Apparently they won't let just one person deal in these things at the Circus, as it means that table goes quicker than the others. WTF is that all about? I'd offered to deal not long after getting there. Chippy twat in seat 1 told me it's not allowed.

So Nick starts dealing and puts the cards out in a small circle in front of him. Can't reach seat 8 from seat 3 very easily. Seat 1 doesn't look happy. I end up with two cards in the BB while the SB only has one. Oh dear.

Seat 1 lays in to Seat 3. Seats 2, 4, 5 and 8 all LTFAO.

Seat 3 tells seat 1 he has a bad attitude. Seat 1 gets very annoyed.

Redeal...

Still at 25-50 obv. Old nit two to my left makes it 150. Annoyed seat 1 calls. I look at one card, a 7, and call for 100 more.

Flop comes 5 7 8 rainbow. I say "Better look at my other card now". It's an 8. I stick out 300. Old fella makes it 600. Ooh, this is good. Annoyed of Seat 1 then re-plops to 2500. I have a quick think and then lolushove.

Old boy folds. Chippy annoyed twat sits and thinks for ages. No idea what he could have but thought he'd probably fold to pressure before I shoved, so sat there quietly.

Eventually...

"Aah, what the fuck, I fucking call." He turns over 55 for bottom set.

Me: "Nice. Thanks for the slowroll"
Him: "That ain't no fucking slowroll, it's for my tournament."

I stand up and start wandering away, while saying "He was right, you have a really bad attitude"

"Fucking foooooooool" he wittily replies.

I carry on walking, expecting either a cry of "Watch out" or a blow to the back of the head. But nothing. Phew!

lololol

Lololol  + 1

lmao at that

They've dropped their buyins - the $225 on Tues and Weds are new, they've killed the weekly $1000 and the main event is now $1500 instead of the $2k or $2.5k it was before.

Good move imo. There were defo rumours going around last summer that the April deepstack was going to be dropped this year.

Just had a look back at last April. Only one of the $550 events pulled in more than 200 runners but only one of the $330 events failed to pull in over 200 runners. Cheaper buy-ins ftw.

Bit surprised Charlton are above us in that league. Not as bad as the mighty Posh at the back and not as good as us up front. Dagenham are just shite, so no surprise they've not had a goalless game for ages.

Something tells me we'll be nicking Romain Vincelot from Dagenham this summer. That old Barry Fry-John Still link-up never goes away and this guy would be ideal for our Premiership push. Yep.

Very interesting story as it happens. I once went round one of the Luton valet's houses with Tighty and Caroline. It sort of stuck after that night.

No, she left iirc in 2008ish, when it moved and became a G

the valets have a tough job, don't get a lot of thanks from the poker players. Then again some need refreshers course in customer relations. Chicken and egg situation!

Happy pancake day chompy.

Will you be spending the day tossing?
