Vegas Looms

Vegas - Judge Dredd
Arrived in Vegas, after a long 11 hour flight due to the headwinds this time of year. I’m staying in Planet Hollywood this time for a change, as the bustle of the…

Vegas - Jetlagged
Decided not to play the Venetian today - I felt really tired and don't think I could have given such a deep stack event its due attention. Obviously I will refund stakers…

Vegas - 3pm $70 tournament
After busting from the midday event I jumped straight into this one. Same structure as the 9am affair, plus I joined in level 2 so had been blinded down to 2800\. Probably…

Vegas - Caesars $70 9am tournament
After waking at 5:30am I decided to give this event a bash. You only get a 3k starting stack, but the opening 20 minute levels are fine at 25-50, 50-100, 75-150. After…

Vegas - Caesars midday $80 tournament

Vegas - Cash Bounce

Vegas - Running Hot on Moonshine

Vegas - Big Blind Special
Wandered down to the poker room at 8am this morning but there was no cash game going so had to enter the $60 tournament. I was down to 250 chips at the…

Vegas - Quote of the Week
Didn't play much poker at all yesterday - just the 7pm Planet Hollywood tournament. It transpired I wasted 5 hours playing Pai Gow with Shazbo, a game which seems to tilt me…

Vegas - Final Day
Another pretty unproductive day today on the poker front. Wandered downstairs a little after 10:30 and bought into the $60 tournament late, which impressively lasted one hand. I call a raise to…
