An Animal Abroad

[animalpoker]

Watched the nice chap on my right go on a card rush for a seat
Down to 80k at 1.5/3/3 in 6 mins
 
Can I use my one time here

Not sure if he did use it , fortunately I was at the other end of table but to be fair he was surprisingly mellow for a change .

Tikay I believe your mate leif force is the first to get to over 150k

89k 1/1.5/1.5 now
Chips flying in but feels like I haven’t seen an ace since Xmas

283 entrants , reg closed
27 seats + residual 8755$
100 left

Morning Rob,


That was a great early morning read, thanks.


Leif still got the dodgy hair? Not surprised he's doing well, he's crazy aggro at times.

Had a Beenie or similar on
And yes .  I do recall busting his decent aces in the Venetian years back level one when I used to gamble stacks early more often than these days
Think I had a shitty high only that sucked out

Big key pot
Just b4 break
Longest tank of my trip
Don’t have time to write it out so will later or tomorrow
But down to 69k
Back to 2/4/4
45 left 20 places left plus 8755 to 21st

Weird situation .  Think I have to gamble shortly but our table isn’t particularly deep.

Time to get lucky some way or other .

[animalpoker]

Survived an all in chop blind battle after a second table move
A22Q7 vs AA64x
63k 3:6/6 in 15 mins if survive

No more booze in the last few hours and tonight
1am local time

[animalpoker]

Edit .   Battery nearly gone

40k

6 seats and residual

Average is only like 80k as they take the greater than 150ks out for landmarks  out of play
Weirdest end to a tournament I’ve ever had
So strange

Break - there are 3 stacks smaller than me

But it’s 5/10/10 blinds - I’m sb
Hand for hand

[animalpoker]

Guaranteed 8755 or 10,000 now .

[Doobs]

Guaranteed 8755 or 10,000 now .

Ah, congratulations.  Decent result even if you don't get the seat

[animalpoker]

And got the seat or can just take cash
I think it will be cash , final decision tomorrow as going room now .
Shattered 3:30am but buzzing so prob take me hour to get to sleep

Wonderful result, well done Rob, & I almost feel I was railing you from tableside, excellent write-ups. 

[Mohican]

Awesome stuff. Nice to see an active poker blog. Although I don't understand the hands I enjoy reading about them.

[Karabiner]

Excellent work sir 

[animalpoker]

Thank you all
My biggest live win in 11 years I think
I’m not shocked that I woke up at 7am and didn’t feel like I’d get back to sleep as still buzzing
So decided to go for a celebratory breakfast at eggslut in cosmopolitan
The truffle hash browns are ridiculously good if any of you ever venture there
Cashed out the winnings on way back when zero queue after restocking on snacks at cvs
Seriously would have played hour or 2 cash if tables were running but nothing happening at 8:30am, so back to bed now to try get back to some form of normality
I’m absolutely exhausted again and the strain on my eyes is bad
No chance at all that I’ll play aria plo or horse at mgm today
I’ll try do a summary of the end of yesterdays tournament later or tomorrow, let’s just say it was weird for now.

congrats on the cash .  thanks for the regular write ups.  am in same boat as mohican, i dont understand the mixed games at all , but enjoy the read. all the more entertaining for me when white russians , bloody marys , multiple bottles of piss water (corona)are involved when playing for 10k .

play quite a few satellites online, can always see everyones stack in lobby , so quite often its straightforward decisions near the business end. must be bit of a nightmare live, maybe its all displayed , or its just a case of trying to keep track of other tables. if its just 3 tables left i guess its easy enough, but in mega satellites it must be tricky.

anyway , best of luck for rest of your trip .
