The Fossil does Vegas

Well done last night mate, was an enjoyable night actually!!
My demise came when it folded to Mr any 2 Thomas on the hijack, who raised to 3.5 k with blinds at 500/1000/100 so I shoved for 22k with 88 and the bb woke up with QQ.
Sigh!!

Glad you enjoyed it, as you seen first hand with some of the decisions being made, it can be profitable playing there obviously suck outs and outdraws are going to occur, long term though it should be profitable just playing pretty solid and not getting involved in fancy play.
Martin reached the final table as well, but he finished 6th, a bubble was agreed so he got £100, he jammed with AK v 77, K on the flop but the 7 on the river was brutal for him, plenty of sets out tonight.
In other news almost passed out in the hospital today when my finger was being manipulated, what a wimp, I blame the heat it was roasting in there, still if you are going to pass out might as well do it in the hospital.
A gentle caress of the forehead by the young physio soon had me back in shape ;D ;D, actually a glass of water and sticking my head out of the window helped more.

Made the final table at Gala tonight in the £2k gtee, had 30 bigs at the start and there was only one big stack, it was anyone"s game tbh, unfortunately I was pretty card and spot dead, I picked up a few chips here and there but was always treading water and was soon in shove mode, got one shove through over a min raise and a flat with A10 but that was it, my exit hand was 88 v QQ blind v blind, was no sweat as the board ran out well for the queens, £80 for my troubles finished 6th, which was a min cash, the £800 up top would of been nice but circumstances dictated it wasn"t going to happen, at the business end of these things you do need the cards to fall kindly.
It was pretty much a grind all night tbh, just picking decent spots against people who will fold to 3 bets and try and play in position as much as possible, QQ was the biggest hand I seen all night, luckily someone had jammed original raiser with A7 and I ISO shoved with QQ, original raiser folded AJ , flop was K Q 10, with the board failing to pair so I escaped that one.
Sunday probably my next game although there are 2 games on a Saturday on offer now, actually say to Susan I am off to work now when I go to poker, poker income so far this month has doubled our normal income, good timing with Vegas on the horizon.

Took advantage of Susan wanting an early night, popped to the G for the 20/20, more points on the leader board as I made the final table but was short stacked, lost a 77 v KQ before final table, only flatted the original raise it was a Q high flop, the kid was running Golden, I called his c bet, but had to give up when he double barrelled, he showed KQ, nh sir.
Get to the final table with 12 bigs which seems to be a recurring theme, lose the important one before the final table so always in shove mode, still, if you have chips always got a chance.
Shove AJ over 2 limpers for 16k, G mac calls, original limpers fold, he shows A 10, original Iimper has folded Q 10, 10 on the river hands the pot over, sigh, my last 5 bigs go in with AQv K4, q4x flop but the k on the river finished me off, only 4 payed so was nowhere near the money but, if the AJ holds I am in reasonable shape, finished 8/30.
All you can do in these situations is get it in good, after that there is not a lot you can do, the cards will decide.
Not sure if I am playing the rest of the week, it"s the £5k gtee on Saturday might just play that before the Vegas trip, ( I have said that before and ended up playing the lot, so easily led).
Run good, be lucky, stay healthy.
