new blog for you....

played the $200 FO at the venetian, 4k starting chips, 30 mins clocks.......

played the first level extremely tight, well to be honest i didnt get a
hand bigger than 78 suited....  

2nd level things started to pick up, found
AK 3 from the button, and a standard 350 to play raise, (blinds at
50/100) BB called,

 

.... lovely, stack booster.....
exactly what was required....... kept folding again until the blinds were
at 100/200, then suddenly i look down from the button and find Andy and his
twin brother ...... ( A A ) hahaha...... .

3 limpers, yeah lets make it 900
SB pass, BB pass, UTG suddenly has a confused look on his face and
announces, yeah im all in........... comes back to me......

...... Erm...... I call dawg...... you got KK?
YES what you got he announces, all proudly......
I say, andy and his brother my friend.... YOINK.....
no sick outdraws and i was up to 9000... lovely....

BREAK.... time for a ciggy and a discussion with sam, (who was out in the
first level, with another sick outdraw flop A 2 7 sam had A Q vs some guys
A 9....... river 9....... Bye sam..... see you at the cash table......
hahahahaha......... down to me yet again.....

after the break, again card dead was an understatement, blinds were at
100/200 again with a 25 running ante, and it wasnt until the blinds were
300/600 (50 antes) i had decided i had to make a move and quick !

i was down to approx 6k, and was begguin for a hand, there were 4 tables of 9
left, from a starting field of 111 players, i felt if i could get a double
up and nick a few blinds, i could make the money, and then take it from there....

my BB and i look down at Croydon off suit (AK) all passes to
button, who makes a hero's raise to 1200, yeah......... your 1200 with 5k
more all in, after a close study the idiot who can only be described as a
chinese APU from the simpsons, decides to make a hero call with Ac 4c........

i say no more........ I was out in 30th place..... and
fkin fuming ! No more poker followed, and i went off too spearmint
rhinos for a couple of lapdances...... See you all soon ! ! ! !

Asbo !
