Days - unsure ive lost track of days!
I know it's Monday now though and I have 2 days left
Right what have I been up to.. I will start with poker and then move on to extra curricular activities!
Since mum and dad arrived ( Thursday) poker had actually been going ok. I've played a lot less and not played a comp probably why it's gone better. Been playing soley cash an short sessions 2-4 hours this has ranged from playing with my dad in town (1/3 aria mainly) and playing after mum and dad go to bed at the southpoint 1/2.
Since they arrived I'm about $400 up and I've only played about 10 hours pretty brutal also that in there I've lost 2 pots one worth $1200 and one worth $1400. The first one was the 45 suited hand I first posted that it wa $1600 I think but have since been corrected when I went back in the southpoint although I'm not really sure! The next one was tonight. Decided to take a stab at 2/5 nl sat with 300 first to get a feel for the table. It wa pretty good lots of limping and raises to 20-35 and getting flatted in multiple spots. After about 25 mins I raised pre with kjhh ( I had about 280) I made it 35on the button after 3 limpers and got 4 callers. Board comes 1093 2 hearts somebody Donks for like 60 one caller and then I re ship for 250ish the donk bet folds and other guy calls with a10 I do not improve and reload for 550. Most the table are stacking 1k ish so I'm still pretty short really. I then get 99 in on 9d10skd v a guy with adjd it's like 1.2k in the pot and he gets there with. Q on the turn. Bit brutal as he says I have 1 out now and I wanted the board to punish him for his lack o knowledge as I actually had many more but no biggest brick in the world the
dropped and I'm out the door after 1 and a half hours of 2/5. I was going to reload but held back as the next two days are going to be poker filled and I thought best not to go chasing. I'm going to play ( I think ) Venetian $400 comps today and tomorrow they start at 12 midday. I'm going to put up a staking post shortly for some comps over the next few days to give people a small sweat and also to lessen some of the variance these comps will be
2*$400
$250 big bounty
$200
And a $300 survivor comp. ( top 10% of the field get paid a flat figure back which I believe will be about $2700
Total but ins = $1550
I'm going to sell @ a rate of 10% = $180/£119
Which is about 1.16. I've tried to make the $ an £ figured round numbers so we are not messing with change. I have used xe.com rate as of today which is slightly worse than what I got my $$ at so if I cash you will get more bang for your buck. Anyway will save that detail for staking thread as this is a trip report!
Extra curricula activities!
Since my mum and dad have arrived I have seen jersey boys and the cirque de soleli show love. Both were great but preferred love as I new more songs plus the acrobatics in the show were simply spectacular never have I seen anything like it and in bit sure how the human body does these things! I would highly recommend seeing one of the cirque shows to anyone when they are here I got 30% off all 3 of our tickets as well due to me being a student! Also we got the mid range tickets the same as for jersey boys don't be conned into thinking the more expensive tickets are the best in both jersey boys an cirque the expensive tickets were too close in my opinion so best bet I ask to see a seating plan and ask the advice of the people on the box office!
