haha that would be telling. But I was ahead pre flop, I"m pretty convinced of that. May have laid down the best hand but I couldn"t put my stack in with an underpair to the board (oops, might have given it away there :)

Yeah, it was a pretty weird hand. I would"ve snapped you had you jammed pre, but hated the board, which should pretty much tell you what I had!

I don"t like my flat of your reraise pre, I should have folded or bumped it up. But I had over 50 bigs and you had about 30 I think, that was a bit too much to get it all in with but the flat was the worst of the 3 options I think. WP always good to play against you and I"ll be ready next time ;D ;D

Even though there's a week to go before I depart to Vegas, my interest in following events out there will take increased interest from this weekend onwards, as tomorrow my two poker heroes, my nephews Joe and Danny, set off for a six week grind.
I think their first event is a $1,500 on Saturday and if I add a bit to this blog about their progress as well as my own there's a greater chance of a good news story. They're jetting off with their good friend and well known player Steve Watts, and they're all staying at Palms for the duration.
Danny is 22 and Joe 25 this year. Danny took a great interest in poker from a young age and I remember he used to spend many hours watching the old Full Tilt cash games with Ivey, Hansen and co jousting for huge sums. He developed a great game himself and is in my opinion an exceptional player. I know I'm biased but this is my blog, so on here he is the nuts! His 4th place in a Monte Carlo at DTD plus various other final tables including the WPT event in Ireland this year are also proof that he knows what he's doing.
Joe started playing a little later but caught up quickly, and he also has a deep understanding of the game mixed up with the fearlessness of youth. He's had some excellent results, including winning the Big Game at the Palm Beach earlier this year, and with a bit of fortune who knows what the next few weeks hold in store.
Six weeks is a long time, but I'm sure the poor boys can handle it!! Danny was interviewed by the Poker Deck recently, it sounds like he's going through a sensible stage so hopefully that will translate into results!

It's always nice to have family around and I look forward to a few beers with them while I'm out there. I think they're playing a few of the events that I'm playing too, but who knows, when I push all in on a draw I might just hit!!
C"mon Joe and Danny, this is the year!!!

Yes indeedy. They may have been in Vegas less than 24 hours when this $1,500 started, but the great news is that Joe has made it through to day 2 with a healthy chip stack and just 10 to go before they are in the money. Really hoping he can start the trip off with a decent cash as it will do wonders for their confidence (and bankroll too!).
I"m not sure if the chip count and position is accurate he ended the day on 50,200 but it is still a decent stack.
There goes my Sunday night.... will be following the updates they start up again at 1pm Vegas time that"s 9pm here.
Come on Joe, smash em up!!
