A cash, get in, well played
I always lost at video poker, but you and Jon MW win you lucky lucky gits.
Have you gone to Vegas on your own?

Cheers Wayne, the video poker thing was a big big bonus (and very lucky). I have been out here on my own, unfortunately the timing was bad for my mates who wanted to come. Poker is a very individual, solitary thing anyway and being on my own has perhaps made me concentrate on it more. They are enough distractions in Vegas already...

Dude,
Excellent news about your first final table. I"m really pleased you"ve been rewarded for your good play. Also glad to see you are being philosophical about the cash side.
How random was that video poker result??? I put it down to Karma mate.
Have you managed to get your mom and sister something yet? You might want to think about not leaving it until the departure lounge as there really isn"t much there except more slots. They"ve got some video poker as well...
Look forward to catching up when you get back mate.
Take it easy.

Wednesday - 11pm tournament at Ceasar"s Palace
112 runners and I am trying out my new aggressive get chipped up or go home style tonight. However I don"t make the break and bit the dust the very last hand before it. There is a raise in middle position and all fold to me in BB with Kc 8s. I call (as is my new style), flop 10 8 2 (all clubs). I am loving the flop and check to the raiser who bets, I move all in with my middle pair and 2nd nut flush draw, and get insta called. Opps I must be in trouble, just a bit as matey has AJ of clubs and has flopped the nuts. No miracle running 8"s and I am out after a hour of play.
I played a lot more hands (as is the new style), betting flops to take pots down when in position. My chip stack was up and down more than a tart"s knickers, I guess that comes with the style. A major hand when I did about 65% of my stack was when I had KK UTG and put in standard raise. Button moves all in, I call, KK vs AK, ace on the flop and I am short stacked again. The new aggressive style is fun to play, lots of action and involvement, I guess early exists are a part of it aswell. I think I will stay with it for a while and try to find a balance between it and my old tight game.
NO BAD BEATS - I WASN"T SHORT STACKED AT FIRST BREAK, I WAS OUT...

Thursday
Nightmare, go up late again so had to rush to get to the Wynn for the 12 noon tournament. Arrived there about five past to be old they were all sold out. Damm, reallt wanted to play this one, as the structure is good and you start with 5k in chips. Oh well, my own fault, it wasn"t even that late last night due to my early exit at Ceasar"s. My sleep patterns are all over the shop at the moment, at times I feel great and then at other times I just fall asleep without warning. Vegas does this to you.
Instead I headed to the largest gift shop in vegas and managed to get the remaining presents so I am all done now. Off to chill by the pool for the rest of the afternoon then back to Ceasar"s again tonight to see if the new aggressive style can get me to the final table again.
