Staking Request - Shuffles Gladiator

[MintTrav]

Feck. Busy couple of days, missed this.

GL John give em what for, but don"t go balancing chips on your head OK?

In that case, you may be interested in knowing that I"m putting up another one. I need to get it going before I crash and burn in this one.

The balancing thing and its unfortunate climax was just one of those things that could have happened to anyone.

Anyone got any news on this?

Second break. The news is not good.

Started with 30k and I had 39k at the first break.

Since then, this happened. I had 89. Flop JTx. Some small betting on the flop - 4 way to the Turn.
Turn 7, I have the nuts, but there is a flush draw.

I lead for 1400, one player reraises to 4000, others fold. I reraise another 6400 on top. He thinks for a long time and then calls. Two pair surely?

River 9. I can still get some more value from this if I make a reasonable bet. I bet 6000. He shoved for another 10k. Call. He had KQ. Surely not - how? There"s a very good chance that I had a 9 and he only has seven outs on the Turn - which was the case. Of course, if he had just called my bet on the Turn, he would have won, but it wouldn"t have become a critical hand for us both. I lost 27k on that hand, cos someone doesn"t know what he"s doing.

12k left, went down to 10k, but finished the session on 23k, so back in it now.

There were two Day 1s, joining together at 9pm tonight for Day 2.

I was card-dead for a long time in the last session and blinded down to 19k. Then got a few cards, took a few blinds, lost a few and still had roughly that much just before the end of the session.

Then:

Blinds 1200/600/100. Raise to 2700 from UTG (7-handed - WTF?). I"m OTB with and make a loose call. BB comes in.
Flop   . That"s what I need (I hope he"s got AQ). BB checks, UTG 3500. Should I raise? That is the safest option, but I decide to take a chance on the higher risk / higher reward option and just call. BB calls too.

Turn  . Check, check. Okay, the time for fecking around is over. I shove for 10k. BB thinks for a while and eventually calls. UTG folds.

BB has   - flush draw and gutshot. 11 outs. I could be out here and I"m almost expecting a spade. It doesn"t come and suddenly I"m on 40k.

Did I say no professionals? The first thing I see is the Baltic Blonde on my table

I spend quite a while sitting between her and Hos Parhizkar http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=2347.

Nice.

They"re both out now anyway (not my doing, I might add).

I have Lee Mulligan, of APAT fame, beside me now.
