Vegas Staking 2011 - SOLD Thank you

[claypole]

Today at the Veneitan was not good - busted by level 3, then headed to the Rio.  Got knocked out by and old Ladbrokes player Sudsey that I know when my  was not good enough.  Still keep getting it in good.  Due top Brummies escapades in the $1500 not sure of schedule in the next few days - basically have just under 4k left on the stake...looking to play 3 events definately the $1500 on Tues as per the schedule, however will confirm weekend tournes based on how Paul does and if we go out etc.

Tournes played 10@$11,060

Cashes 1@$1501

Keep the faith....Shaun

Right - it's getting depressing posting non cashes - so this is the last one until end of stake.  Played the $1000 today, late regged during level 2 and really enjoyed today and think I played well.  Sat down with Antonio Esfandiari to my left and a good table.  Slowly build some chips despite losing 1200  v shove - got to about 6k effortlessly - then started to tangle with Antonio.  4 bet him a couple of times - got to 9.5k then had to pass to an old boys 4 bet, back to 7k.

Exit hand I may have messed up - I raise to 475 at 100/200 25 from  late position, and Antonio peels from SB, BB gets out of the way.  Flop is  - he leads out for 800 into 1400 and I decide to float, so 3k in pot.  Turn is  , he leads again for 1400, I think he is weak so dwell and 3 bet jam, know he may have a J but plenty of hands I am beating and plenty he can think he's losing to. Its about 4200 - he tanks for ages and speech etc and makes the call with  - I don't get their.  With hindsight, he wasn't bet / passing - I guess check jam maybe ok, but this is a bit spewy.

Was fun anyway - he was having prop bets with a stag party on rail to go and "rub heads" of Deeb, Dwan than Hellmuth - the stag made $700!

Anyway, current stays is

Tournes played 11@12,060

Cashes 1@1501

So, the plan is as follows

We have just under $3k left on the stake and my friends get here Friday.  I plan to play the $2500 at Venetian tommorrow and then one more tourne - either the $1500 at Rio on Tuesday if I bust or the $1k at Binnions on Thursday if I make Day Two at Venetian.  As you will see, depending on which combination I play its between $500 and $1000 over the stake, which I will freeroll at same % as a gesture of goodwill based on just one cash and Brummie scooping.  The $1500 cash stays in the kitty to be divided up whatever.

if any of you have a problem with this message me and I will just include you in either the $1k or $1.5k and rebate the remaining along with your return - as clearly the $2500 is a bit higher than the original tournes in the stake.  If I don't hear from you I'll assume you are taking the freeroll.

Thanks.  Shaun
