Teaulc`s Vegas Diary / WSOP - Event 54 29th June 2009

<< < (8/12) > >>

teaulc:
missed Damatrix today as i thought he was starting at 12pm again but it was 2pm instead.
met up with Ian Frazer,hadnt seen him since WSOP2007 so no suprise he didnt recognise me at 1st,and got introduced to Neil Channing,nice guy.
met up with Eyesallin and Bagheira and it turned out that Gary had met the other guy,Joe, i was meeting at Virgin tourney a few months back.
we went looking for an afternoon game to play and ended up at Bally`s playing cash $1-$2, thankfully had a guy who had no idea on how to play poker and he donated nicely to the tune of me ending $220 up  .
so now a nice early night before the big game tomorrow.
Damtrix went out 30 before the cash when his AK got beat by AQ

Chipaccrual:
This has got to be an early contender for "Name Dropping Thread Of The Year"   ;D

Hope your enjoying yourself Alan and good luck at the tables.  A WSOP bracelet for Brighton Poker Club would be nice.

MAIR:
enjoying hearing about your trip Al, look forward to more.

...although Stan James have only sent 1 shirt for a 3 day event,so it could be a bit smelly on that Final Table  ;D

Full Tilt did this when I went, so I wore their shirt for day 1 and my own stuff after.

I don"t know how hot Stan James will be on you continuing to wear the merchandise but my thinking is that if they provide you with a shirt for 1 day, then you should wear their shirt for 1 day.

Good Luck in the tournament

hi guys,well it has been quite a good day for me i must,i stuck to my gameplan and it has worked well.
there were,i think,2816 registered players and 297 paid.
4500 starting chips and hourly blinds.
after about an hour and 3/4 with not having much of anything i get A/A .raise 3 x BB get 1 caller,flop is 9/4/4,i have raised it and caller re-raises, i push and he goes into think-tank,eventually calls and shows J/J  a nice double up.

after the 2nd break i am sitting with just over 9k,nothing of note happened during that session,just kept stealing the odd blinds to keep my stack up.

session 3.
10 minutes into session 3 i have doubled up again when my J/J beat 6/6.
bit further in i have A/K,fairly loose player shoves and i call.
he has 8/8 and i river the Ace
now up to 24k.
dinner break i am on 28k
again i am sitting with J/J,raise to 1800 and player shoves all-in. i instantly call and he shows K/10. a few more thousand for me .

end of level 8 and i am now on about 48k.
target is 50k for Day 2.
so far taken out 5 players.
2nd hand into level 9 i have J/J again,guy sitting to my left has gone all-in and i call,he shows A/9 and my Jacks hold up yet again.
had A/A again but raised 3x BB and all fold.
i did hit at one time 75k but tiredness set in near the end and i made a play with K/Q against 3/3,i hit my Queen but he hit his 3,thought it time the variance came in.
and then last hand guys pushed short stacked on my BB,again i have K/Q and he has A/J,flop comes down rag/Q/J then turn shows the Ace.

so i have made day 2 and i have just over 53k,so happy enough.
