Update from Vegas!

Sunday 20 May 2007

OK so i havn't updated this for a while but at the moment im out here in vegas playing some poker with Joe and Jay.

The first few days were a bit crazy and we didnt play much poker due to none of the cash machines working with any of our cards. After a few phone calls to banks we finally got it sorted and all made a bit of money playing cash.

The past few days for me have been a little bit crazy which i regret a bit. Yesterday we when the the Luxor hotel and casino to play some cash games. When we got there we found out there was a tournament just starting with a $65 buyin so we decided to play it. All three of us started out well getting some good hands and doubling up, later on meeting each outer on the final table.

When the blinds were high i kept up the stealing with marginal hands to take the chip lead and eventually winning the tournament for $700, also getting $10 from each Joe and Jay from a last longer bet :D

Joe finished just out the money in i think 8th place and Jay cashed for $120 in 6th.

After the tournament i went back to the Excaliber where we are staying to play some cash games. Jay was there playing $2/$4 no-limit so i joined him and quickly doubled up to about $550 after pushing with a royal flush draw and getting no call. Shortly after the table broke up so we went across to the $1/$3 tables to play.

Jay went back to the room as there was no space on the table and i continued to play a marathon session which went on for about 10 hours in which i went through about 20 vodka redbull's and about $400 :/ I wasnt getting any decent cards and was knackered and not consentrating at all.

...Anyway so after all that im pretty much even for the whole trip. After paying back both Jay and Joe, paying for flights and 4 nights in the hotel we are staying at i am $4 up!! wooo hahaha

No more vodka's and marathon sessions i think. Im finding it pretty easy to grind it out when i try so i think i'll stick to that.

Thats all for now :)
