The Fossil does Vegas
Erimus:
Decided to play the deepstack at the G tonight, done a chop 7 handed, everyone had work in a few hours, the chip leader had 30 bigs so he got a bit extra, I had about 140k, but bb was 16k, so got £128 which is £128 more than I was going to get after I lost with A 10 v QJ which left me with 4 bigs at 5k/10k, luckily or unluckily I get AA on the button so I assume the big blind is going to call fairly wide as I should be pushing any 2, but no he folds showing me a King in the process.
There was a tense atmosphere at the table as someone had upset a female player earlier in the tournament accusing her of cheating (she didn"t, wasn"t and wouldn"t).
We all sat at the ft start and someone suggested £110 each and tbh I would of accepted it, meant I would be home at 1am rather than 3, the guy refused the deal which was not the problem, he said he would refuse any deal as long as She ( the accused cheat) was at the table, the husband was also at the table and although it didn"t kick off, it could of got a bit nasty as verbals were flying, Security was called and a doorman supervised the proceedings. Incidentally the guy did apologise to the lady concerned but this guy just does himself no favours at all and tends to wind everyone up for some reason.
the guy in question was now a target at the table but he was hanging on, eventually he lost most of hist stack and had 25k left which he shoved into my big at 6k/12k, I didn"t look at my cards and just called blind, and was live with 10 6, v A3, the flop brought a 3 but I turned a 6 so I knocked out the table bad guy, it wasn"t a spite call to get him knocked out, it was a have to call any 2 cards spot, he got unlucky and won nothing, if he had agreed earlier we could of all gone home 2 hours earlier and be only worse of by £18.
£2k gtee tonight so will attempt a hat trick of cashes, as for a 20k deepstack on a working night it might need rethinking, as most people were moaning about having to get up for work, then again they know this at the beginning and should factor in finishing times in their decision to play.
Won a $100 on tilt as well today so might get a few mtts going during the day.

I turned a 6 so I knocked out the table bad guy

A certain amount of satisfaction no doubt... The game doesn"t need these type of people it spoils it for everyone else, I have no idea what motivates that sort of behaviour other than idiocy.

What did he allege that she was doing ? Just curious.
Erimus:
he had insisted she had said all in when he turned his cards over with the nuts but she had only said I only said call, I was sat next to her and I didn"t hear her say all in, the dealer and no one else heard her, I was surprised it kicked off tbh.
The lady in question started off playing 2 years ago when the G first opened as a beginner, and her game has got better (a much better player than the guy involved), she is as honest as the day is long and there is no way she would of lied, or tried an angle as its just not her.
He called her a cheat a few times after that and she was getting visibly upset and the table had to get him to calm down as it was out of order.
There were still 20 plus players in at this point so it was nowhere near the cash and although it would have given his stack a small boost, the stack wasn"t worth arguing about or riling the other players to put a target on his back.
The target is actually pretty much there anyway as he has a tendency to wind people up, whether this is done deliberately to get people to spew off to him I don"t know, if it is it seems a tough way to earn a bit of money at the poker table.
I think him and Dave got heads up once and Dave agreed to a chop just so he didn"t have to listen to the drivel the guy spouted, as an aside I quite like him at the table because he is easy to get chips from, give me a table full of bad players every day please.
Erimus:
Hit the post tonight in my hat trick attempt finished 13th, actually didn"t hit the post blasted it wide.
The first 3 levels indicated how it was going to go, had QQ three times and had to fold to post flop action on akx boards, get it all in with 44 v KK on a k4x flop, and QQ losing to J9, j high flop and villain rivered trips.
I finally jammed 88 into Daves JJ, for 14 bigs, at least he got my chips and hopefully he can go on and win the thing, and I might get a bit back.
No doubt I will have given people bad beats over the last 3 games so it goes with the territory.
A few days away from live poker me thinks, may try a sat for the £300 at Dtd and possibly play the £100 game at G on Saturday, there could be a decent overlay this month as there are a couple of big events in Newcastle which I know has taken a few of the locals away and not many will travel from Newcastle.
Run good, be lucky, stay healthy.
