20/11/11

Apat day 2 arrives, so I nip over to the food court get a corned beef sandwich for dinner to fill a gap before the serious business starts.

I am on the button and get dealt AK (this might be a short post), min raise fold fold oh well get too see a few more hands got 20 bigs now, time for a nap (ask Phil or stu).

Card dead for the next few levels, but there has been a few bust outs so the final table is within sight, although that trophy was looking like it needed a home in Middlesbrough.

KK utg happy days min raise hoping for a shove, Adam I think shoves with AK, cards on there backs the KK holds so up to 28 bigs, standard play at this stage.

Again no spots to get chips in Adam shoves with A6 I call in the big blind with 77, 7 on the flop gives me the lock on the hand, the A hits the river and Stuart tells me he folded 7 2 so the case 7 helped, ul Adam but it was all standard stuff.

My final hand was a shove with A8 to Stuart Wards raise utg, Stuart and myself play a lot together and I am fairly certain he might fold if he doesn"t have a big hand there, unfortunately he has KK, I hit an 8 so finished in 9th for $327, don"t regret the shove there and to be honest I am glad the ace or the other 8 didn"t hit as my life would of been a nightmare for the next few years nh Stuart ul with the QQ later on. Well done to Micky for winning the tournament and congrats to all other finalists, it was a real pleasure.

Poker Profit $300 ish. Today has not finished will finish in the next thread,quite enjoying this writing lark. Tbc.

20/11/11 Part two

It"s about 4 pm now,so I try and contact a few people to see if anything is planned for tonight, couldn"t get in touch with anyone, not a problem plenty of things to do in Vegas.

I head to the Venetian, to check out the deepstack games 7pm start 10k 30 mins, I like the look of that so get registered, got some time to fill so I head over to Asia Noodle for the Noodle Special, again food was top notch, headed to the card room for the tourney.

Tournament starts at 7pm exactly (gala take note 2 hour delay for poker player game no 25/50 chips you have to laugh).

I have a quick scout around the table,mixture of hoodies, older players, tourists and 1 massive nit (me).

Reads we"re fairly accurate hoodies never limped, raised or reraised fair enough, older players limp called, limp folded and moaned if they were reraised, they like to see a flop if they hit they are still in,if they miss cards hit the muck quicker than a quick thing.

Won and lost a few pots here and there and was moved tables a couple of times, and ended up on the original table with about 15 big blinds.

I get 44 utg and decided I am going with this hand as the better players are just stealing dead money from the limpers.
I raise 2.5x bb old guy limps and as expected hoodie reraises, I shove, the older guy decides to play and the hoodie makes up the bet, pot is now about 49k ish, it"s 44 v JK v A3, bink first card out is a 4 wee triple up had to sweat a str8 draw on the river, it"s never easy lol.

Down to 2 tables got about 25bbs, the way this table has been playing has been raise then re raise all in with 25/30 bbs so no poker being played, a big Canadian is moaning if he wants to play poker not bingo, there was a really hot young girl on the table,but being in seat 1 and she was in seat 10 I was not able to take in the eye candy, good job actually might of got a penalty for slavering on the table.

The Canadian raise 2.5x bb with (A 10) folds to me in bb (66) he is ready to collect pot and is waiting for my fold, I 3 bet up 7 bbs leaving myself 22bbs left, I am not sure if I would of called a shove as there were a few shortstacks left and with just over 20bbs I could find a better spot said I was nit.

He folds showing A10 saying I definitely have AK, he asks for a show normally I don"t but I quite liked this guy, he was funny so showed him 66, he complimented my play and said at last a Poker game .

12 left, about 25bbs left I raise utg with (AJ sooted) 2.5 bigs, Canadian guy reraises folds to me, I am not keen on this hand any more so I fold showing my cards he shows me AK and he called me a tight nit laughing (he has a good read on me then).

Got to the ft 10 left 9 paid first hand all in and a call  I was not involved JJ v AK jacks hold I have now cashed at the Venetian happy days.

Short stack pushes 5 bigs the idiot in the big blind folds couldn"t believe it, he then said He only had 63, obviously if he wins the hand I get another $150 , pushed with QJ v 10 10 didn"t hit so I was out in 9th for $450 bed is now calling its 2:45am.

Poker Profit/loss $600.
