Keeping Warm in Winter

The one they call Rodders was last spotted taking a seat at the 1/2 cash table I just stood up from.
GL Fella!

I somehow make day two with 15 left but my hopes are not high. The final table would be nice but I doubt it.

Very nice work getting a bronze then Steve, especially considering you"re not quite in the zone at the mo.

Cheers for the replies guy"s - just taking a break from playing cash. I did really well and am very happy with how I played winning $360. I am planning to play some more later as well after a quick bit of food and taking some time out.
I have some hands that I need to post in the PHA section (on Blonde Poker) as I had a few interesting one"s. Some good calls and one bluff that I think I did really well on but need to feedback to make sure. Main thing of course is that I am up overall for the trip, I am still $40 down at cash due to two sessions where I played drunk (one was very drunk as Delboy will confirm) this is my own fault but would like to say I at least repaired the damage.
As for not being in the zone. I think I am actually playing OK (not great but OK), but am not really enjoying it. I mean at this moment in time I do actually want to play tonight but I doubt it will be an ongoing thing. Online is different I am still completely happy with playing online but live just seems so dull at the moment, kinda like watching slow drying paint *lol*
Not actually sure where everybody else is today I might find out later if I get bored with poker however I think I might just go and get some photos of the strip at night. The Venitan had it Winter in Venice show today and that was really good as well. Everything over here is really good. If I stop playing live poker (which right now seems likely, at least in the short term) I am really going to miss APAT a lot.
Away from poker I actually feel pretty normal again as well. OK, let"s try and get some run good tonight and do well.

Nice work Rodders! That"s a tidy profit indeed.
I"d love to see your HH on here if you don"t mind copy > pasting from Blonde (I couldn"t find your post there).

Not written them up yet mate, will post them when I get back I expect, just making some notes about them now.
EDIT - They are now there and called "Hand"s from Vegas"
Anyway, think I made a tactical error tonight maybe. I decide to take an hour off and go back to the room to relax, after making the last post I obviously fall to sleep and wake up at midnight. Oh well.
I head downstairs and have a fruits salad and a banana and get a coffee and stroll of to the poker room. I play for about 3 hours before the game breaks. Early on I lose about $30 by getting AIPF with aces, I am such a fish getting it in with one pair (luckily he did not have much money in front of him obv).
In a really funny hand I again have aces (luckbox) There is a raise ahead of me to $10 I look at the raisers stack which is small and see about $70 in chips so make it $35, he calls. The flop is a rainbow 8-2-3. Nice flop for me that. I say "I put you in all" he insta calls with pockets eights. See I told you I was a fish. The dealer counts up and tells me I owe $148 (?????). He had a $100 note hidden behind his stack. It may not have made any difference to the result of the hand but this is why I don"t like cash being used at tables.
Anyway I grind it back and in a big hand make a set and stack a player for $200 (he flopped two pair and called me all the way). I make $125 in the session and again think I played it well. I really can"t believe these games, the standard of $1/$2 here is lower than the 10c/25c on Pokerstars and it isn"t really close. Anyway $480 (just over) for the day is a good result. I saw a couple of the APATer"s about as well and everybody seems to really be enjoying Vegas. The only problem I have now is local time is 4am and I have nothing to do, might go back to the Venitan after I make a note of some hands I need to post up. Some note"s:-
Live poker is boring - but you make money
Live poker drunk is fun - but you lose money
Online poker is likely the way forward for me for now at least
Still a day to go and my stats look like this
Live cash (whilst sober) +$480 (about)
Live cash (Whilst drunk) -$350 (about)
Tournaments +$1000 (about)
Total for Vegas +$1120 (plus anything I have given out in tips etc whilst playing as that is not included in the total)
Still tomorrow to go yet of course
