The Joker in Vegas
AJDUK:
Go Joe go! GL mate :-)
(lol"d hard at LT)

Levels 5 and 6. Absolutely card dead. Got away with a couple of steals, so after two hours of pain I still have about 4400, but it"s double up or leave time! I think the average is about 9k.
By the way, if you were wondering what happened to LT, he got very unlucky, for once. He called a raise out of position, they checked a flop of A94, the turn is a 2 and he check-raises the turn bet, and then the river is an ace, all the chips go in and LT has 53 for the straight, but the other bloke has A9 for the nuts!

Levels 7 and 8. I finally got a hand in the first 20 minutes. QQ in the BB. There was a raise, then a call, so I push in my 5k and the caller calls me. He has 99, and about an hour earlier he had 99 against QQ and hit a nine, so there was some banter about that, but the queens held up. With the other blokes chips I was up to about 12k, and then I won a smaller pot against the loose bloke, and so reached my peak of 14k. I was again card dead for the last 90 minutes and lost chips a few times when calling min-raises in the BB. The annoying hand was towards the end when a new player min-raised and I called in the SB with JT (I know, I know!). The BB called too, and we saw a flop of A95, all clubs. I had the jack of clubs. I check called the flop, and then led out for 3200 on the turn of Qh. She pushed all in. I folded, even though I only had 6k behind. I should have pushed the turn, although I sense she might have been miles ahead. All very poor. Anyway, I made it to the end of level 8, and so will be playing Day 2 tomorrow. On our return, blinds will be 300/600/75, so basically I"m in push mode with my 6775 chips. There is some Brit on the Final Table tomorrow, so if I go out quickly I might have to rail him. Sounds like it will be messy!
Des:
Loving the detail and playing every hand with you. Best of luck for day two.
Curlarge:
Well done Joe, hers hoping for some run good tomorrow.
