Vegas '14 diary

driving down to Gatwick this evening, got a pretty full day here so won't be hitting the road til 9ish tonight...i do of course get to arrive in style though, the wife & i swap cars with me getting my paws on her beloved baby blue fiat 500; a large shoehorn is all that's required to squeeze the suitcase in & even that's with the back seats down.

got $10k in my pocket & the plan is to play 5xWSOP events over a two week period, #lazypro would be a reasonable description.

feel free to tune in for sporadic updates

    had a pretty smooth journey, my mate lovejoy timing his $1500 PLO exit perfectly to coincide with collecting me from the airport,
    went straight to a pool hall for a couple of cold ones before checking into Ti...got three nights here, room is great & it's bang opposite the venetian which is probably where I'll head today for a $400 comp.
    had some really nice eats at a little hole in the wall called le thai on Fremont st last night...got seated in a little courtyard, very pleasant...I reckoned we had were served by a pretty waitress, lovejoy assured me it was a waiter, welcome to LV...
    just noticed william shatner is in town at the MGM for 3 nights from tomorrow, might have investigate this further, will report back,
    adios amigos

    36 got paid in the 400 & despite having 60bb with 38 left I failed to cash; day 1 went well & I bagged up a good stack but straightaway on day 2 ran into 66 on A67 when I had AK for 30bb then I kind of blew the rest off in the SB vs an annoying aggro BB (doug lee)...I made up the SB w J6cc & as expected he raised.

    I called which is pretty iffy I guess but I felt I was deep enough to do something down the streets - the flop was decent, KcQc9, I checked, he asked to see my stack (we were in the 1 & 9 seats) & I told him I had a 100k (pot was 30k), anyway there was a bit of back & forth as he insisted he wanted to see my stack...he then said he was all-in (covering me)...boy that was annoying & so eventually I spite called but bricked & his Q4 held.

    Not in the best of moods I headed over to the rio to sort my wsop buy-ins & ended up jumping into the 235 deepstack...these are great events, a nice pacey structure & I busted about 30 off the money from an 800 runner field; some positives so far then, i'm getting chips & feel like I've made some nice plays & reads, just need to iron out a couple of strategy lapses.

    Bumped into scotty & we went for a chinese...no sign of tikay yet, prob catch him at the rio tomorrow

    last night, in hushed tones, I heard of a new move from a respected pro,

    I decided to deploy said move in level 3 of today's $1500 event at the rio, hey I even flopped a flush draw & maybe I was unlucky to run into top set...don't try this at home

    lovejoy busted early as well so we got some steaks in & chilled at hone.

    went to see 'shatners world' with scotty & lovejoy last night, bit different, meandered a bit here & there but overall was def worth seeing...pretty hilarious moment when the 3 of us were seated at a table on the 2nd row & just before the curtains went up a lone gentleman was introduced to the spare 4th chair...

    played two short 2/5 sessions at the Wynn & booked 2 wins so feeling positive...play the 1k tomorrow, hopefully no gaffs!

    jumped into the 1k today, had a friendly table w padraig parkinson & London reg david lloyd as table company, never really much going & went shoving 9bb w 88 into 66 but he 4 flushed it,

    railed richard ashby in the 1500 PLO & our boy scotty who has a stack in day2 of the 1500 nl, I swear every time we swap 10% he FT's, I shud be on commission,

    played another short 2/5 sesh at the Wynn & booked another win, live cash over here is so much fun, maybe I shud sack the MTTs lol,

    move back to the strip tomorrow, am kinda hoping I get to rail scotty for a day3 run, will keep y'all posted,

    tikay sightings still zero, sigh!

    No idea how we keep missing each other, as I also railed Chufty and Ryan today!

    I also saw Lloydy and Woodley in the American Grille after they busted the $1k.

    been at the aria 2 days now, very nice it is too but the bed is way too soft for my liking.

    went to a nice seafood restaurant with scotty after his FT heroics, he was in good form & took the beat very well considering the stakes, cherry cokes all round.

    I jumped into day 1c of the venetian 1100, it ended up getting just over a 1000 runners & I return today, one of about 180 day 2 players with an average stack, a very playable 35bb.

    loads of UK pros showed up, Cody, Lewis, JP Kelly, in fact the only absentee was scotty...mbn to take a day off.

    it's the 1500 megastack over at the rio tomorrow, 15k stacks, blinds start at 25/25, my worst nightmare lol, but folk are predicting a 5000 runner field so I shall be treating it as my main event.

    I think tony scraped into the PLO8 day2 so glgl to him, more updates in a day or 2
