After 4 hours sleep, I am wide awake, doesn"t bode well for the rest of the week as body clock going to be all over the place, still, worse things happen at sea.
A few thoughts about last nights efforts, 4 players inc me came from the initial first table, and within the first 2 levels I had separated all 10 into who I wanted to avoid and who I was happy to go to war with.
Needless to say the 3 who I chose to avoid, made it to the ft.
Was another grind as I was never gifted cards or cards fell for me but I can play a 15/20 bb stack reasonably well, (ie all in, easy game).
I folded AA on a paired board when I had bet a one third pot on the river but got reraised, I may of been bluffed here, I very much doubt it though and speaking to a young Canadian guy he agreed, this put me in the 10/15 bb territory, the cash bubble has burst and the button raised, I rejam A 10, he calls with AJ, I turn a house but a jack could still swing it for him, faded that and made the Ft.
Accumulated some chips but it was still push/fold poker, although one or two raise and take its other than just shoving, laddered up to 4 th spot, when I get it in good with tens v AK, villain hit 2 pair, I turned a straight draw but didn"t get there, so got $1k5 , plus $30 on fruit machine,(didn"t have a clue how that came in), I just noticed $30 credit and seen as though I had only put in $5, whipped it out, nits gonna nit.
The list of games I was going to play comes to $1200, so freerolling the rest of the week, may or may not play a bit of cash, see how I feel.
Plan of action today is Twin peaks for Lunch, seems a hospitable place to go to, then pop over to play the 1pm at the Aria or there is a $200 sat into a $1100 at the Venetian at 4pm.
If they go belly up which we have to assume they will, may try and get tickets for a show tonight, being Billy no mates, single seats are easier to come by.
As an aside got a room upgrade from a classic to a high roller view room on check in, bonded with the check in lady as she had relatives in Consett, as has my Missus.
Can also see the Bellagio Fountains as well, not a full view but beggars cant be choosers.
Really enjoyed the tournament, mixture of good solid players, splashy fish, and my underlings as King of the nits, some tight ones.
Don"t normally drink when I play at home, atmosphere is so different here though, as long as you don"t go too daft and your hold em hand turns don"t turn into an Omaha one it should be ok, God I go on, Gl to all in Manchester, enjoy the game.
