I will be doing some sort of daily record (results, or lack of/cardroom appraisals etc) on the Chezger (our home game) forum, however I will cut and paste the jucier bits here.

It has been suggested that I post when sober so that will have to be within 2 hours of waking up  ;D ;D

Its chezger and I would guess it means "chez" as in french for "at the home of" and Ger as in "the duke". So it probably means "the dukes home game"

But I"d wait for his reply ;D

Well folks yesterday was a scream -- Myself , Shogun and richeo has a smooth trip planes on time, customs no sweat, immigration polite -- got in at 4:30pm ..... however

Slider: Got pulled over by customs and held for so long he missed his connection (seems another Andy Bailey is Public enemy No 1)  -- got in at around 10pm

Technolog: -- the pilot had to call the AA to change a tyre on his plane so delayed his take off -- arrived about 7pm

Dan 350Z: Missed his connection and arrived about 9pm

Didn"t play last night just had a few beers (Richeo of course was the exception and last heard was $300 up in a cash game.. we"ll see him on Sunday then -- lol)

The Charge Of Chezger Brigade (With apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
Memorializing Events in the Battle of Las Vegas, April 2008


Half a brain half a brain,
Half a brain between them,
All in the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted:
"Forward, the Chezger Brigade!
Charge for the tables" he said:
Into the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted.

"Forward, the Chezger Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay"d ?
Not tho" the dealer knew
Some one had blunder"d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but raise, call or die,
Into the valley of Vegas
Rode the six hunted.

Shogun to right of them,
Slider to left of them,
Technolog in front of them
Duke & Dan350 thunder"d;
RichEo at cash and ringing the bell,
Boldly they played and well,
Into the flops of Death,
Into the raises from Hell
Rode the six hunted.

Flush"d all their cards bare,
Flush"d as they turn"d nowhere
Raising the eejits there,
Charging a casino while
All the world wonder"d:
Plunged in the cigarette-smoke
Right thro" the line they broke;
American & Canadian
Reel"d from the master-stroke,
Shatter"d & sunder"d.
Then they sat back, but not
Not the six hunted.

Shogun to right of them,
Slider to left of them,
Technolog in front of them
Duke & Dan350 thunder"d;
RichEo at cash and ringing the bell,
While one or two of them fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro" the jaws of Vegas,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hunted.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild plays they made!
All the world wonder"d.
Honour the trip they made!
Honour the Chezger Brigade,
Noble six hunted!

I telll you what, if this weekend in Killarney was anything to go by I will be spending all my time at the roulette table and not playing poker.

It was a good weekend met up with Laxie and family and had a great time.

Highlight was watching her two daughters playing in the North Cork Gaelic Football championship. Eldest, Sinead, has a mean elbow (wonder where she gets that from) and scored two goals as they crushed the oppostion -- well played girls.

The poker sucked but had a few bevvies to ease the pain.  The cash tables were manic (7 euro rake from each player every 30 mins was a bit steep)

However the straddling was so bad they had to limit it to one per game. Anyway on one table the action was thus

1/2 Euro NLHE

UTG 5 Euro straddle
UTG +1 pass
Mid pass
Mid -- "bet 800"  FFS its a 8 Euro pot

nuff said. Played tight as a ducks arse and still managed to get all my chips in ahead only to lose to players that were fishier than a Billingsgate employee.

Oh yes and Laxies 11 year old daughter owned me at cards and poker dice

Fk my life

Bring on Vegas

N.B. Paul (M3BOY) managed a credible 11th in the main event - has some game that fella
Title: Re: Chezger hits vegas
Post by: duke3016 on October 11, 2008, 13:49:26 PM
Chezger hit Vegas in November and as usual our travel arrangements are a little staggered ...... 2 arrive Thursday 6th - 3 arrive Sat 8th. Therefore I have only planned the weekend in detail, the schedule will change for the week because the Venetian Deep Stack tourney is on and we will obv play in some of those.

The only cash games I will play will be $2 $4 limit HE (cos i"m a drinken bum) and will be utilised to get even drunker while not losing a lot

So timetable for the frist weekend is

Thursday 6th November 2008
arrive @ 16:00 -- check in -- relax with a few beers

Friday 7th November 2008
10:00 -- Planet Hollywood $78 -- 4k chips -- 20 min clock
14:00 -- Planet Hollywood $100 -- 4k chips -- 20 min clock
19:00 --  Treasure Island $150 -- 5k chips -- 30 min clock (Head Hunter $50 a head)

Saturday 8th November 2008
10:00 -- Planet Hollywood $78 -- 4k chips -- 20 min clock
14:00 --  Treasure Island $82 -- 3.5k chips -- 20 min clock
PM -- Few beers and watch Joe Calzagi fight

Sunday 9th November 2008
AM -- relax and stroll the strip
12:00 -- Venetian Deep Stack -- $330 ==  12.5k chips -- 40 min clock (delicious)

Rest of week by popular concensus and I will of course attempt to update this tread with the good, the bad and the downright ugly

Chezger are playing in the Dublin IPO next weekend and will update with progress then as well

Bring it on

Both Caesars and the Venetian have deepstack festivals running while we are there.

It"s my first Chezger tour - I"ve been to Vegas about a dozen times but never played at Treasure Island - the Friday night tourney will be ideal as I"ll arrive at the IP about 2.30. Just enough time for 12 Coronas before the tourney starts.

Apparently Chezger are all professionals at the table game known as Crazy Poker. It must require a huge level of luck skill.

Beginning to look forward to this now.

Delighted to hear your faith in poker has returned.  That roulette"s a killer.  Would make losing to playing Sarah sound fun.  lol

Side note.  I have some bad news for you.  No drink allowed in the card room at the Dublin IPO.  Scandalous!!!  I"ll be composing a strongly worded letter and sending it to someone.  Just not sure who yet.  See you lads on Saturday night!

We are delicately poised for the trip and the usual Wednesday game will be in progress - no need for bed straight to the airport

Leaving Thursday Morning
Duke :
Will maintain a watching brief to make sure all Chezger members stay sober and behave themselves and will play his usual brand of extremely tight poker

Dan350
Fresh from his diet - fair play he lost a loooooad of weight - Dan will be frequenting various entertainment venues in order to gain material for his new book "Sex, a new perspective after weight loss" whilst lying through his teeth to all the croupiers

Leaving Friday
Bigfella -- Vegas veteran who will obviously be the leader of the gang and show the rest of us "the ropes" (and handcuffs etc)

Leaving Saturday
Dan "I have planned all the resturant visits" Jones - He follows the Queen in his travel plans -- she is no further that 15 miles from a major hospital on her travel - He is no further than 5 metres from a food house

Danny Gatrell -- Bought a new house and needs to pay for it -- unfortunately his style of play will probably start the fight again in TI -- good job we have Bigfella along

So you can see

Our travel plans are pants
We will either win a lot or get arrested
The steer population of Nevada/Texas are at risk
Coors have planned extra shifts
All police leave has been cancelled
The IP won"t need knocking down - we will take care of that
Pictures will be posted (Quality not guaranteed)
CNN will of course be on standby

LETS PARTY

Wednesday is the home game night and I did think of cancelling and getting an early night, but they are great fun and I really enjoy them.

Good games , Good people , priceless

So tonight will be the preparation for the games in Vegas (not) Duke will play so tight they will be worried (not). Also I will be cutting back on the alcohol consumption (not) I won"t get an early night cos I"m going to win (not)

LOL -- lets party

can"t attach pics via Additional Options even tho I compessed them to less than 75k. Not a problem as I can upload to photobucket (or my own website) and put them in the body of the text -- however its sometimes easier to attach -- help someone !!!

Any chance we can get the webcam down into a Hole Cam type position so that I can see how you play this game. Behind Dan"s cards would prob be best if you"re tiltin after that first game.

You are clearly either visually impaired or are some kind of sick puppy. If you haven"t visited the poker room at The Wynn that could be your only other viable excuse.

Quite possibly guilty as charged on both counts. I have wandered past the cardroom at The Wynn on several occasions without setting foot inside, so maybe I have got excuses.

The number of times Dan was asked if Wales was near England was hilarious.


Now that is Progress!!!

In a "Boston, Massechusets" or "Pheonix, Arizona" type of way, Wales has always been referred to as "Wales, England" from Americans I"ve met in America!!

I dont suppose Dan would find that as funny though!!

Thursday 7th November 2008

Went to bed at stupid o"clock after a few 1 buck orange juices and woke up with a surprising ache below the cranium and in front of the forehead. Decided to try and continue the Chezger tradition of cashing in the first tourney played in Vegas and went into the PH $70 freezout. It attracts about 30 runners at 10am..

Sat down "drinks, cocktails" said the rather disappointing valet.

My Head "Orange Juice"
My Mouth "Coors light please" FML

Third hand in I find AA in mid positon - raise $200 (25/50 level) two callers to my left. flop 6 9 4 rainbow. I am first to act bet $400, 1st left folds 2nd left calls. Turn  2.

--- hmmmm  -- surely no danger -- hmmmm -- bet $600, 2nd left calls.
river 7

hmmm -- scardy pants here checks, 2nd left bets $500, I gotta know what he called my pre with -- just gotta, I say as much, (starting stack 4.5k soooooooooo) I call

he of course turns 10 8 for the straight

My Head; "FFS ok one gapper pre if that floats your boat-- but gut shot post flop with no flush draw?"
My Mouth; "nice"

Meanwhile Dan350 has re entered (you can re enter the tourney for the full amount if you go busto)

2nd left "Could have milked you for more"
My head "keep talking mr 10 8 caller and gut shot caller"
My Mouth "yeah you"re right sir"

Meanwhile Dan350 has re entered (not running so hot today)

I duck and dive and make the final table whilst 2nd left matey boy goes out with two tables left (wasn"t me but I was raising his BB every time before I was moved)

I go card dead -- make a move whilst just under 9BB and run 99 into KK -- so the spell is broken no cash.

We play the two o"clock and I cash in that (8 way chop FFS , but hey I was low)

Bigfella arrives and we saunter over to TI for the headhunter, and I am afraid that is a bit of a blur except for the exceptional way I conducted myself in the face of some risque comments. I was proud of myself and got no penalties  ;D

Went back to the IP and played 3 card poker and ended up $300 -- not a bad days work and beer at a buck a bottle -- get in !!!!

n.b. All comments about the shiite way I played AA will of course be ignored  ;D ;D

.....contd
