An Ape and a Notebook goes to Vegas.... yes, I'm serious!

[jgcblack]

I understood and agreed with the comments for and against...

Fraser has put his foot down and I hope he's right. It's dinner break so our first hand will be in another hour or so.

This would be a sick one to do well in with this start.....

[jgcblack]

First hand we play is a fun one....

Raise from mid position from a guy who has played half the pots in the last orbit.  We find  and jam out 20bb.

Sb wakes up with AKo and calls, OR snap folds.

Runs out

Won one of those bounty thingies....

Had QQ in bb when CO shoves K9o.

We held on 9xxxJ

28300 at 2/400/50. Average is 26k.

[jgcblack]

Got another bounty.... One more for a freeroll.

Had AA otb and a "fantasy draft" player - Josh Brikis opens to 1000, I 3bt to 2700, flatted by chatty IT chip leader guy and then Josh tank shoves AQo.

No sweat and we are on the way up.
-------------------------------------

God mode truly enabled, winning 3 pots an orbit and up to 65k-ish.


Got a new guy at the table who has similar stack... 

Just bricked Jh8h on A102r Khh somehow!

[LOJ]

good luck!

[jgcblack]

Only had 20k left after that... lost a small one with 33 vs KJo then ran A9o into AA with 18bb.

[jgcblack]

Registered and busted the 777 already.

Played a couple of small pots, then had 22 vs KQo aipf there are a few limps from some old guys and an iso from the young guy button with headphones and hoody and good sizing's.

He tanks off KQ and we can't hold through the first card.  Turned a flush draw that wasn't good...

One more left! Aria main event round 2 it is!!!

[jgcblack]

Went to register for the last tournament, the Aria 2mil $565.

The queue was so long that I would have been 280 on the alternates list, they estimated that it would take 3 hours to get through it.  With this and feeling a little bit under the weather today (poker tired I think) I've decided to play the turbo tomorrow from the start instead of today's from 4 levels in.

We've got one more chance to make a day 2 and beyond, it's been a fun series even though I've not had the dream we all think about.  I've definitely learned some lessons about both vegas and myself, got a plan or idea for what I want to do differently the next time and most importantly what did work well, what was positive and constructive.

I need to work on my tournament game as I want to be playing more and more and I know it's a fast moving world.

[pleno1]

whats total refunds?

[tonytats]

What satellites are available for the main event ??
Personally I would like to see you try one if there's $$ left and the others agree ??

[jgcblack]

Just doing it quickly because it's ruddy early in the morning...

Think total refunds are 2815+1000.

I've been told there are mains sats in the Rio over the next couple of days, thoughts??

[jgcblack]

And we are out of the Aria WPT 500.

Lady raises to 600 at 100/200 and we flat 99 in CO.  Mike Sexton shoves from BB for 50bbish, ive got 40.  She tank folds JJ and we call 99.

QAxxx

Shame.. I'm obv going to be flipping a lot but I'm really happy that he will have some worse pairs... occasionally 10 10 and a lot of flip hands, esp in a turbo and with the older lady having made it clear she's a bit of a fan boy for Mike.

So now heading to the Rio for both cash, sng, mega's or a deepstack...

I'm considering one bullet at one mega sat for main
