This week, we have had mixed success at poker probably overall level i suppose. House games meh punting to big losing to much need to stop! Last time i had a $500 budget for the trip this time it seems to be $500 a sit down Sad FML!

I have been playing the comps on my stake, a little on the side, some 2/5 and some single table sat's in fact i chopped one tonight which was good. A little bit of profit!

Saturday night we decided to punt a table at Surrender. Surrender is a pool club at the Encore, which is the sister hotel to the Wynn. We booked a table and split it between about 8 of us, for this we got a couple of bottles of vodka, mixers and a delivery of women to our table. Jack allen was straight in there, and i tried to follow the mans lead. We had a great night at surrender, Our table was a little "out of the way" but this really worked. Could go to the dance floor when we wanted or go chill in our "Cabana" when we wanted to sit and chat. Really liked the club, it shut at about 3am though so it was time to head to XS. We had met up with Will Kassouf, he had said he will get us into XS and on to his table. Good to his word, somehow he got us in at 3.30am to another table, i did not need anymore booze by this time and danced the night away to the early hours of the morning. This was my first big night out in Vegas and i had an absolute blast. Was not a cheap night out but one i can not wait to repeat!

So the week days started with the deadman rail, got the message from alex that he had inevitably bust and deadman was going to come 2nd so get down to the M because the beers were on ice. Well i dont need to be asked twice to get on the beers so headed up to the palms to meet up with the rest of the boys who were going down in a taxi, Mitch, Fred and Nick ( i think?) I inevitably lost the taxi flip. Mitch got to me heads up and snap asked for rock, paper, scissors. He won and im like 3/4 for paying for taxis. WTF is this? im sure he has an edge in rock, paper, scissors so next time its pure punting. So the deadman rail was pretty immense, we had a really nice asian meal in the M that we managed to drag on for about 3 hours while deadman was crushing and then joined us on his dinner break. We then went for some house game punting which i avoided and eventually got dragged back to the tournament room, to watch our hero. Many degen games were going on on the sidelines, Chinese poker, chip toss, races, planking contests, football with a tennis ball. etcetc. While all this mayhem was going on deadman stayed cool calm and collected, kept accumulating and knocking out people climing to his inevitable 2nd place spot. 3 handed a deal was done, deadmans rail was 20-30 men deep and he took advice well as he took his time discussing a deal. I can not believe how much the floor staff want to rush things as these guys talk through a deal worth nearly 3/4 million $. Surely 20 minutes is nothing? But no the clock would keep running and the pressure was on. Once a deal was done, the TD said "As we are now playing for 20% of the prize pool, the clock will be reduced to 15 minutes" bearing in mind they were still playing for $100k you can imagine the reception this got from the rail/players. Eventually he stepped down after his moment of madness and play would continue. There was a few confusing hands where the rail had been lead astray by goulder who kept chanting for the wrong cards. My eyes were top bad to see the big screen unfortunately, the cheers were enough to confirm when deadman had won/lost a hand! After deadman had scooped morale was pretty high as we went out for the victory meal. This just made me personally more determined to have a big win, the group morale was so good i would love to be the lead in this just one time!

Been spending a lot of time with the DTD lot, mixed in with a few lads from Manchester. We have been bowling, out for tapas, to a nice steak house. But mainly, punting on Ultimate Texas Holdem. The game of champions. Yes 20-30 odd punters come out from the UK to play poker and alll end up punting house games. Got to love vegas. Even with a dealer paying me out an extra $60 last night i could not make a profit! Incredible, he made about 3 mistakes in a row where he mucked winning hands and nick hicks had got on his case. He then mucked my winning hand and my money before i could open my mouth. When he replaced my bets he got in a right muddle, paid out way to much but due to all the mistakes he had made, and well houses being houses i kept my mouth shut and took my cash. Karma has been smacking back in the face for this though today!

Tomorrow is the main event sat at the Rio, then we have a table booked for Calvin harris at Hakkasan tomorrow night. Im really really excited for tomorrow, would be epic to get in the main and then get off to hakkasan to see one of my favorite artists and celebrate. Either way come tomorrow evening i will have a smile on my face i just hope its one which is in the main!

Will try and get some photos up from my phone now!

Day 1

I had a big problem now I had been up for 26 hours had had 8 hours of work 6 hours of poker an q hour of 5 a side football! I was pooped! I also had no battery on my phone! Big problem I cannot set my alarm so I wake up or my flight this means I cannot sleep! Bollocks!! I end up sitting on the floor next to a plug so I can plug my phone in, I don't know if this is allowed and I highly doubt it was but it got me the necessary battery I needed to set my alarm which meant I didn't have to worry bout falling asleep!

Good luck me!

 Shocked omg I would have switched off right there after 26 hours of no sleep


btw I've always been sure it was okay to load the mobile in the airport??
