The Fossil does Vegas
Erimus:
And we are back, not playing a lot lately hence the lack of posts, the last 6 weeks have been testing to say the least, volume has been minimal live and online but this week brought a bit of welcome relief, a smallish cash live, then an 8th position in one of Sky's bounty hunters for a few hundred, making it another small losing month, but tonight I managed to bink a Vegas package on Grosvnor for the colossus game early June, looking at the dates it's likely I will be around for the Apat Vegas event as well.
I was down to 4 bigs and all in with 74, which made a house with 4 left and then The mighty Kings held on the bubble v A4, despite him hitting a 4 then a gutshot on the turn.
Vegas wasn't looking likely tbh this year due to a bit of burnout but for £5 I am pretty sure I will take the opportunity, factor 50 is on the shopping list.
And yes we are getting relegated but I have renewed my season ticket for 9months guaranteed pub visits on Tuesday and Saturdays, UTFB.
Chipaccrual:
Nice one Brian
See you in Vegas !!!!!!
Scousebill:
Congrats Brian.... See you there, and reading about both of us on the Final table of Colossus will be great...
Zozzy:
Congratulations Brian. Go smash it in Vegas
Erimus:
Cheers for the above comments will be trying my best, looking at the structure of the colossus definitely need some run awesomeness in that one, obviously plenty going on elsewhere so que sera sera.
More min cash heaven this week with a 5th on Tuesday for £170 at the G and also gave the new casino in Leeds a bash, this one started badly but ended ok in the end.
Quick report, first bullet was via online so forgot I had bought in so didn't count as real money.
I flopped a set v G Mac who made a straight with 97, I should of folded the river tbh as I put him on AQ all the way through the hand, I was right in the fact he made the straight but not the one I was expecting, nh sir. I used to be good at folding, AQ also got there and he had opened utg.
This left me with 6k which promptly disappeared when KK lost to 86 and JJ was also in the pot so hold here and I wouldn't have to re enter but 86 made 2 pair.
I reentered as someone else was driving and they were still in so fired the second bullet, fast forward to 4 am and I get my last 9 bigs in v aggro button, he had A7 and it held so I finished 17th for £230 again minimal profit but had a chance to run deep but the crucial hand AQ v 84 on a Q84 crippled me and I squeezed into the cash, it was a tired reshove tbh and could of waited to shove into sb and bb next hand, had decent equity pre though, happy with reshove just not the outcome.
I final table bubbled a £55 on Sky tonight but had £85 in bounties so again a min cash received, again got it in good but couldn't do a hold, whatever, it is what it is.
At least the hole we dug in February I have clambered out of and am now standing on the edge of said hole wiping the mud off myself.
Still no info from G regarding flights to Vegas etc, was going to arrange my own but my brother is seeing if he can get time off from work, i can take 1 guest but they must pay for own flight, room will be ok for 2 people. I have contacted Main event travel and they can book any flights I want, brother can only do the 7 days so not an option to extend or go earlier.
He plays a bit but never played in a casino, I will get him to play the Apat game though if he is there, he will just admire the views by the pool I would imagine for the rest of the time.
If he goes will probably get the direct flight from Gatwick with Virgin on June 2, the local flights have one or 2 stops plus any extra days will impact on the bill I have to pay for Susan to be looked after.
Went to see Elbow in Manchester couple of weeks ago, a test run to see if its doable to get down and back for at least one event in the wcoap, would imagine it would be the £200 game 70/30 chance of making an appearance.
Waffled on too long as per, run good, be lucky stay healthy, will be blogging the 5th visit to Vegas so if I disappear for a while I shall return early June.
