The Fossil does Vegas
Erimus:
Might of stumbled upon something here, yesterday"s little bink occurred whilst cooking a Thai Fish curry so started the same game today and in between ventured into the kitchen to prepare a BBQ chicken, wedges, corn on the cob, duly cashed in 15th for $120, ran 99 into AA, can"t moan too much as my 99 beat KK earlier, embrace the variance.
Did a proper check up on the Stars account today and I thought I was down, however when I fully checked details was actually busto on the stake with my mates down $1055 after yesterday"s win,so I am now back on my own on Stars, if I had binked yesterdays game would of carried it on and paid everyone out but the stats don"t lie so that one is dead in the water with the proviso if I do bink anything before the end of the year will see them ok, meal out party or something, it was a bit of a fun sweat dreamt up before Christmas last year, would of been nice to have showed a profit but poker can be harsh.
I do play quite a lot on the I pad and these games don"t get added to my hem so my stats on there are misleading.
However with today"s win and a few sngs and a bit of John in his stake I have $500 left on Stars which was my initial deposit, so will try and spin that up with a few timely wins hopefully.
Application in for Masterchef, as long as I can grind a few mtts on the I pad, I will give it a go, ...... Or not.

Busy poker weekend ahead so in preparation watched a few of the latest episodes of the Wsop, one hand me laugh, young guy raises QQ, standard, gets 3 bet by AQ diamonds, Queens 4 bets and is flatted by the AQ, flop comes low with 2 diamonds, all the chips go in and the flush gets there, nothing remarkable in that hand all standard stuff, what made me laugh was his leaving remark, "it"s so sick because I made the perfect range play as well" or in the real world, "feck, got it in good pre, lost a flip post".
This weekend I shall be merging, balancing, polarising ranges at the Gala and the G, Fridays £40 freeze out, Saturdays £2k5 gtee £150, and Sundays Funday 15/15, bring it on.
If I don"t post by Monday you know it didn"t go well, and my perfect range plays will have been donked out on by the locals.
Run good, be lucky, stay healthy.

I think the Fossil should win both and spend the winnings on coming to Vegas in November and making a new blog title :)

finished 5th last night in my triple header weekend, was worth £145, so effectively freerolling today"s £150.
Nothing remarkable about last nights game, but it was nice for a change when I 3 bet limpers actually got decent equity on flops so made c betting a bit easier, also nice when I hit the nuts on the river and get paid off.
Made a bad fold when I hit Trip aces with A2 on a straightening, flushing board, guy jammed 35k into 15k pot, I still had 30 bigs so decided to swerve it, he showed 77, nice play sir, he actually went on to chop it after I got knocked out.
I got lucky when I got 14k in the middle v Betty"s limp, I had A4, she had A10 which she duly called with but the 4 on the flop was good, but the up and down straight, straight flush and nut flush draw failed to materialise for her, how I faded that one I will never know, Betty is a legend up here and by the river she usually has 2 pair minimum, nice to hold in that one.
A4, is right at the bottom of my re shove range, but against Betty it can be the nuts and was prepared for a 55/45 so I could chip up, like I said got lucky will take it.
I made a shove from utg with AK which was for about 30k which was 14 bigs and a few players were surprised with the shove and asked Why I had shoved all in, I just thought it was so standard there was actually no thought process involved, I said its only 14 bigs and was told not to throw statistics around, lol, I sometimes forget most of the locals like to see flops even when the blinds are big.
My exit hand was pretty standard shoved 8 bigs A5, get called by AQ which holds, missed a pay jump in the previous hand when other shortie jams A2 into AQ and a 2 ball hit the flop, that cost me £80, meh.
Hopefully can go a bit better today in the £150 and get a decent score instead of all these small cashes, bit whatever happens love live poker.
If I can bink anything Stu Vegas is definitely in my thoughts, and maybe the title could do with an update, we will see.

Out of the £150 jj into qq, got 50 bigs in the big 55, very early days though, I will accept this as a substitute.
