The Fossil does Vegas
Erimus:
Maybe serious or maybe not.
Looking to go to Vegas for world series and looking for funding for 100% of all action, my total buy ins will be approximately $50k, inc main event.
A little bit about me, I don"t drink, smoke or take recreational drugs but for this trip I may start so any funds shipped would help towards starting any one of the afore mentioned habits, I don"t think this will affect my game as I tend to sleep through most of the games anyway waking to win a flip with 20 bigs then once I have won that nod off again, rinse and repeat until I have won the tournament.
The above strategy has proved successful on numerous occasions and has funded my millionaire lifestyle so far. This lifestyle I would like to share with others so you too can share in the glory of a poker millionaire.
So you can be assured I wont be wasting any of your hard earned cash I am intending to book a suite at the Wynn or Bellagio so I am fully rested for each tournament I play, part of the $50k will fund this by the way, I will send postcards to each investor so they can see how we are doing every week.
Some people are aware of my home situation ie a ft carer for my wife and may be a bit concerned about her wellbeing while I am away, well you don"t need to be I have made contingency plans and will be leaving her with 14 days supply of food beside the bed, a hose pipe leading from the bathroom for water and because we have nurses coming in twice a week they can see to all of her other needs.
So I don"t get lonely in Vegas I have heard you can hire ladies who will sit and have a chat with you for an hour or so this may also come out of the initial funding just so I don"t get too stressed playing with other peoples cash.
I will be dining in the finest eating establishments as I find a healthy body means a healthy mind and means more wins for us all.
I understand this might get more attention if it was in the staking section but I thought I would put it here first so any one who reads this can have first choice of the action.
As for current form currently running like a 3 legged donkey. I think the only thing positive for me this month is investing in Dave H who has made us a bit, well done Dave you have saved my month.
Back to reality, Galas £150 tomorrow cashed last month so would be nice to Get back to back cashes.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy and for the above package as Fred Pontin used to say BOOK EARLY.
Erimus:
The gala game yesterday was a bit of a damp squib, didn"t start well as I got delayed at home and didn"t register in time for the extra 2k so started with 15k as opposed to the 17k.
The game itself was pretty frustrating , 3 betting serial limpers who never fold missing flops and c bets always meeting resistance meant I was down to 11k at the dinner break.
At 200/400 , limp limp limp to me on the button I have AJ suited I raise to 1600, and get 2 callers, flop is all low cards and utg limper shoves i reluctantly fold and 55 is shown, the flop was 346 rainbow, so I suppose it"s not a bad flop for his hand.
End up going out on a missed flush draw when I was pot committed, fail to hit the flush and that was that, never got going, I don"t think I went above starting stack, just one of them days.
i played a bit online when I got home and cash bubbled a tourney on tilt When I limped with AA (10 bigs), 84 in big blind gets there with trip 444 my own fault for being a bit too clever but obviously wanting a double up, hey no it happens.
Sunday at the G made the final table in a really healthy position have 100k plus after hitting a set of 8s twice and getting three streets of value on both occasions.
Crucial hand I raise AK to 9k (2.1), big blind calls flop A Q 10 it all goes in he has q10, I fail to hit and pass over 71k, I still have 30k but blinds are now 3k/6k, I shove a2 diamonds, 66 gets folded ( so bad), we are now on the bubble, no saver has been agreed I shove QJ from cut off, dealer button tanks and folds he later tells me he has KQ, the big blind calls he has A7, the river brought a pretty red queen and I actually make the cash, we eventually do a deal £200 each for us 3 and 350 for the chip leader, the q10 guy from the previous hand.
The AK v q10 was annoying but I couldn"t complain the deck hit me hard tonight for a change, early on in the game 3 betting both j9 and j8 against limpers when i had the button, one I flopped the straight and the other I flopped the flush, this was going to be my last game of the month but the G have a £2k gtee on a Tuesday now and the last two Tuesday"s have seen overlays of a couple of hundred pounds so it is decent value, the G have started to get their act together now and is getting more and more popular with a lot of the Gala regs now making regular appearances.
Pokerpops also made the final table but he just finished outside the cash he lost with KQ v AJ in a standard spot.
I have probably broke even this month live but have had a shout at some decent cashes as played most of the Gukpt festival thanks to a win at Gala.
Online,losing month on Tilt unless the last few days get me out of it, have to wait and see how that pans out, will post figures on the staking board later in the week, Stars won $1k plus a bit but have since donated some of it back to the poker community, at least the roll is still in tact on there.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy.

As I won a bit on Sunday decided to pop along to the G for their £2k gteed 30/30 comp, we start with 8k in chips and can add on the other 8 at any time, it"s deep enough to play without the add on for the first 3 levels and decide at the break whether to pay the extra £30.
The usual suspects at the table, serial limpers plus 2 good players including Pokerpops, didn"t get involved early as is my usual strategy as any 3 bet is usually met with a massive pot early doors which I don"t really want to get involved in unless I have a decent hand and position.
I literally play 5 hands in the first 3 levels and am up to 35k with the average being 18 so I keep the extra 30 in my pocket and go into the next session in a healthy spot.
It does help when you turn quads in a 3 way pot with people betting into you, must be nice.
After the break get moved back to original table and I am a bit more active than normal then get dealt AA on the button, limp, limp, limp I 3 bet to 3k get one caller, Dave folds he has a small pair he tells me later and has decided not to set mine flop q high, villain bets out, with the blind levels now only 20 mins decide if he has a part of the flop he won"t fold so I set him all in, a bit of an over bet but if he has hit he will chase his 2 pair, if he has a set then I still have outs, he flips KQ, fade the K and Q, and the 25k plus pot is shipped to me.
We get to the final table with around 30 bigs after a few raise folds previously, first hand raise utg KQ , get flatted then reraised KQ never good here fold, flatter shows AQ, reraiser shows an ace, convinced it was AK due to previous tendencies during game.
I miss an opportunity of a treble up when there is a raise utg and a flat, I have 77 utg + 3 I decide to fold, if I play the hand with my 20 bigs I should ship but too many to act after me and the initial raise I decided to wait for a better spot. Flop came 7 high and I would of turned the house and one person eventually goes all in but we don"t see the cards, oh well cant be results orientated.
Dave reships over a min raise but the big blind wakes up with QQ, the original raiser folds and Dave tables AQ, he doesn"t bink so finishes in 7th.
We do a deal 5 handed for £369 each, again blind levels are dictating it"s shove or fold so happy with the outcome.
If you read my previous entry regarding a sat to a Gukpt event you will know we all paid the bubble £40 so he could have a seat, one person refused on the official bubble but he is a reg and a decent bloke so I put in the cash.
He used the cash to buy into the Gps at Sheffield as he couldnt play the Stockton game, we were aware of his intentions, apparently he cashed for over £2k and he came over tonight and gave me and all the others who had paid the £40, £100 as a thank you for the gesture at the Sat, never expected that one so all in all £30 for mtt entry came back home with £499, happy days.
Erimus:
Quick review of last nights 30/30 at the G, aggro player at first table ( he has just chopped a scoop event, knows what he is doing), he has already scared the table with his reraises and 4 bets, the limpers are in revolt, lol.
He 3 bets mid position the 2 early position limpers, I look down at KQdd, I 4 bet to 600 on the button, limpers flee, he min clicks it back, pot is to big to fold, not happy here blinds are only 25/50 and the pot is 2kplus, flop k high, he donks out I min reraise and I get the fold, phew didn"t want to throw in the extra 30 that early.
I get moved tables and win a few when I hit nut flush when people are putting in tiny bets with tptk and a flopped 2pair, I shouldn"t be there at the river but all gifts gratefully accepted.
20k at the break, I reraise KK over 2 limpers, see the flop 5 handed which is
678 I bet out, get min reraised, stinks here of 2 pair set, turn gives 4 to a straight, villain shoves for 20k, easy fold I show my KK , he shows 59 suited, wp sir limp utg with 59 then call reraise, please come again.
Ray ( really bad but pleasant, like it when he is at my table), limps utg, call, call, call, 10 10, pot is 2k4 so I reraise to 1k6, Ray the utg limper puts a big bet in here, fold, fold, fold gets to me, I reluctantly fold, (Dave, Whats he got here ?)he shows me KK, he only has 3 hands in this spot, I should just flat really and see a flop pre but it"s just not my game perhaps I should adjust in these donkaments and play limp along bingo.
Interesting conversation after this hand with lad sat to my left, (he just final tabled a gukpt for 7k), why do you fold after reraising? he asks
He doesn"t seem to understand that there are 2 peoples cards I am thinking about here mine and the villains, my only move was to push as villains bet had committed him and probably myself if I was to get involved I had 25 bigs left if I fold, I just dont think I am good in this spot ever, perhaps I might hit my set but we will never know.
The same player who cashed at the Gukpt shoved 60 big blinds with AQ suited on day 1 of the Gukpt and was called by AK and got there, better to be lucky than good then.
Eventually push 33, 12 bigs into big blinds KQ who hits 2 pair then the straight just to rub it in.
It"s the monthly £100 at the G at the weekend but Lucy is having a poker/ housewarming party which is my preferred option this week, this leaves that £100 as funds towards Coventry at the end of the month which I hope to play.
thanks for reading , run good, be lucky stay healthy.
pokerpops:
Easy fold to Ray"s 3bet. Tens are never in good shape there.
