Durr ur a fish

Got busted by Durr in the $10k plo yesterday, when he cracked my top set on a 60/40. Durr is the top internet plo kid in the world right now winning a few million this year. I suppose if ur goin be beaten may aswel be by the best. Really happy I played the 10k plo I defo had a clear edge in it and would play it again today if it was on, theres so much dead money in the field. Playen a $1,500 event today. When I bust from this I will be $17,500 behind for vegas II.

$10k PLO LUNACY

Goin play the $10k plo today. While plo is my beat game this will be the hardest field I have played in. I prob have no edge in the field if I am being honest and if I do its very small. For this reason it is sheer lunacy playen this event. But feck it, ur only young once and this a tourney I really wanna play and may not be in the position to play it again. I am goin need to run like god to do well in this tourney but we all now I am capeable of that. I defo feel out of my comfort zone playen this, but 2 b honest I luv that feeling. The butterflies are already goin. My head is tellin me to save my $10k but sure its only $10k and I have laods of them.

1k binions plo tourney

Played the 1k plo in binions today. 124 runners came 28th with 12 for the money. Played pretty well. Still not sure if i am goin play $10k plo on Sunday. While I may have a small edge not sure if its enough 2 justify putting $10k up for it. Wont mind playing and selling some of myself. So if anyone wants a piece of me email r txted me. If I do play I'll prob sell 40% of myself. If any one has any interest in buyin some giv us a txt. Goin take 2mor off and just chillax by the pool.

cant stickin up the dilema the person involved wont allow it and I can c why.

$5k wsop 6 handed

Played the 6 handed there, lasted 3hrs before busting. Got it in with jj v ak for the 17k pot. Couple of aces on the flop and a k on the river was more than enuf to send me home. Was pretty card dead for the first few levels and my starting stack of 10k was down to 8k so was moving time. The 6 handed event is super aggro and 40% of the field was gone before I made my exit.
Might play a mega satty tonite and the omaha in binions casino 2mor, there both $1k events.
Played some cash last nite. Played a 10/25/50 plo. Was a soft enough game but only got out winning $100 so was virtually a non event considering I risked $10k.
Got taken out for dinner on a kinda poker business related dinner last nite. Anyway me and chub were sittin oppsite a model and a pornstar(both females with MASSIVE implants). The pornstar had the biggest ballons ever. After about 20 mins of stareing at them I turn to chub and inquired had a motor boat crossed his mind. He insto errupts laughin, he had been think the same thing as me for about the last 20 mins odd also. I rekon I could hav broken all pervious motar boating speeds ever recorded with my expirnece and her jet engines. From the meal it was on to the playboy lounge in the Palms. Savage club that over looks the strips and is full of hot bunnies. Had the tourney the next day so decide to get an early nite.
My sickeness got the better of me and I said I will play cash for an hour before bedy bies. That was 1' oc and it was well after 6a.m before I got home. Thats when the real fun started, when I was confronted with the funniest dilema/sight of my enitire life. I hav 2 ok it with the person involved if I can write about it, but if he agrees it will be up 2mor.

The 2nd coming

Arrived back in vegas last night. Had a good day in 6 flags yetserday. Just sayen to chub and he agreed that it felt like a month since we were in vegas,so the purpose of the trip was served. Back fresh and ready to rock and roll and heres the plan.
The plans for the next fews day are:
1. Thur 27th $5k 6 handed event
2. Sunday 31st $10k plo- not sure if I will defo play this
3. Thurdays 3rd $10k nlh Main Event
Will also play a few mega satties which are $1k a pop. Also take some % of chub in the main event. So my out lay for this part of the trip wil be between $35k-$40k. So if I get no cashs it will be a significant kick in the crown jules.
Did the $9k bac I won pissed. Got my money in gud in 5 big pots and lost all. The last was a $9k
pot in 25/50 got it in 60/40.(Playen on cake)
I usually dont freq with bog men but whenever I do I hav to say I hav a fondness for there descriptions of things. Been in the company of Donal Norton for the last few days (muck savage from tipp). Anyway heres his discription of a person after we used the standard expression in describing some as a string of piss.
Norton: No no I tell wat he is like, you no when a new born calf does a shit!
He goes on to tell us how its all yellow and runny and other gr8 descriptions about it. I mean every should hav a token bogger mate.

Newport and some quality sickness

Comeing to the end of our stay in newport. Has been gr8. 3 solid nites of gettin absloute banna's. Also got a quality amout of gamblin in. Between me chub Norton and Rory we have gambled the GDP of a small Africian country on paper rock siscors. Think I am up small. Were stayen with Rorys college mates who are your typical students(skinty) just gettin enuf money to eat cheap noodles and get $14 for a crate of natural ice(dutch gold of america). Came in hammerd the other nite and they wanted to see the king(me) in action. Booted up the machine and logged in to $25-$50 plo and quickly spun up a $9k profit, might put up some of the hands, was gettin sick bluffs in. Also they are quite amazed at our unwillingness to breath unless we hav some sort of bet on that equates to an amount they could live on for a week. However we have been crupting these normies slowy and got a few of them 2 open up poker acc's. Sayen wil stake them in. Feel like a drug dealer, givin the first 1 free. They also think it the best thing ever as they have seen us clear about $20k in the 3 days we hav been in there gaff.
Took the nite off boozin and played tournies on stars, putting some nice last longer bets on the side with the lads. Ends up chub and norton fting seperate tournies for a $3k pay day for each of the them. Fallon also got a $3/4k scoop there last nite so a decent few days for irish kids on stars.
Played in a casino in LA there, did a nice $1600, also did $4k back online of the $9k I won, really have to stop playing sober. Wil head bac towards vegas shortly. Break has been real gud. We hav plans of goin 2 six flags 2mor but its 3 in the mornig now and no signs of the gambling stopping.

End of part 1

Played the $1500 today, last 30 mins or so. The jack of diamonds arrives on the river to makes my opponents gutter. Fair play to the jack of diamonds, kinda wanted to get out of vegas anyway. Sittin in the airport now, on the way to Newport beach. Goin smash it up there for the weekend with out the risk of doin my tits on black jack and fake tits. Bac in vegas on wed or thur of next week. Might play a bit in the commerce over the weekend but r&r wil be the order of the day.

100k feels nice

Where to start. Well best score of my life and all said and done a $100k is some chunk of change to bank. It was a long but very enjoyable tourney. Due to the fact it was 6 handed meant one was constantly involved. I have never really gone in to much depth about hands in this blog and dont really intend on starting now. However to go that far I obv put some sick 1's on ppl, the jack of diamonds was my friend and he popped his head up twice when he was required to get me out of 10% underdog situations. For that the Jack of diamonds will always be my friend. I pulled several wild bluffs which served me well but alas it was 2 b my downfall. I came across some unreal players and learned a lot. Played with ept,wsop and wpt winners.
DAY OF FINAL EVENT
Couldn't sleep the night before, got 3 hours sleep from 3a.m til 6.am. Woke up and dicked around for an hour, couldn't get backed to sleep. Went down to the gym and churned out 5k on the thread mill, then protein shake and a bagel. Could barely eat, felt like throwing up. Nerves or excitement I dunno but managed to force the bagel in. Went back and got 2 or 3 hours sleep. Before the cards were in the air and I reckon I had spent about 3 hours going over the final table, how I want to play it, how I taught the rest would play it. It was a tough final table. Due to the fact it was 6 handed fish were exposed and expelled from the tournament much more quickly than in a 9 handed tourney. Final tabled panned out just as I had taught it might however all I was seeing was j2 37 off etc. I'd like to thank Micheal Trimby for the helpful advice he offered me. He turned up at the start of the final table and offered me some v sound advice and also at the break. Hes an experience tournament player and was in this position before. With the cost of an orbit being 50k, 350k was the amount I decided to draw the line in the sand at. I made my move and it wasn't to be.
I said regardless of wat happened I would just b happy even if I got done on 1 outer. To play in the final table of a wsop event is a dream come true and 1 will hope to replicate. In poker terms I am only a kid and am just going to use this as another building block in the development of my game.
I'd like to thank all those who wished me good luck on boards and in texts. It did mean a lot and defo gave me a confidence boost. Good lol walking around with $100k in stacks of $5k made up of $100 bills. For those of you wondering what it feels like, its feels real good. Wired the shit home so wont b doin it in house games.
Highlight of the tourney was sittin beside some ginger lad. Player busts I say were all gettin $20k. Havin not said a word he announces "This has been hard work, defo rewarding myself with a hooker when its done", gingers are just so cute.

hard work but no payday

Played the $3k yesterday. Got an ok stack early went from 6k starting stack up to 16k after 2hrs. First table was soft but got broken 3hrs in and got moved to a much harder one. Was card dead and just sat there being sooooo patient. Anyway there wasnt any really interesting hands bar shoving with 62 on a k103 board and getting told nice hand by some old yank who obv had some of it as took ages to fold. Showed the nut low and made him correct his comment to nice move. Ended up busting with 66 v A10 for a 20k pot in 150 place, with 73 for the money, annoying to make it thru 80% of the field and get no joy. Off to play the $2,500 6 max now.

Some joy

Played the mega satty last nite for the second time. Its $1k in and and I chopped it for $8,6k. Played some unreal stuff. Need it to b honest and gets me pretty much back level for vegas. Me and chub did a deal, so he eventually got something from sawping action with me. So I will be putting him in to the $2,5k event 2mor for 40% of the action. I am off to play a $3k event now.
In terms of online I recored my 4th losing week, did $9k.

Home from Home

Got to vegas. Went on the absolute rip last night with chub and my school mates who are in vegas at the mo.
Played the round of each there lasted 50mins. Its a 5k starting stack blinds 50/75 in the holdem and 25/50 in the plo so its a fast movin tourney. Got crippled early on with ak. Raised it up and called by a decent player behind. Flop a62 i lead 300 into 550 r so. Turn a 6. Which imo is a gud card. I check he bets 800 I call. River a 3, i check and he bets 1500 I call and he has 222. Like he eithier has 222 or ak/aq/aj there. Not sure if goin broke would hav been the right play. Played a hand nicely got backed up to 4,500. Said to chub not calling any one light today. Obv didnt stick 2 my plan and ran into the nuts with a light call. Lokin bac on the hand it was unreal bad play by me(was in plo). Was 1200 on the river about 30% of my stack.

Exit hand
Hand: 3k chips a875 nut hearts . I am in the bb and call a raise to 2oo so 150 more. Flop k42 with hearsts. Nut hearts and gutter. Checked around. Turn a 7 making me double gutted with 1 pair and nut hearts. I semibluff and bet pot 1050 thinkin no 1 behind can have a set as not checkin on a drawy board and its unlikely a set of 777's is out there given my holding. Anyway some ginger duth fucker, (same bollox who got me with the 222) was slow playen the kkk behind. He sticks me in, and I call off my last 1600. I am a 2/1 dog and a blank falls on the river.
Frist wsop event and its over in 50 mins. Annoyed about the call i made but other than that it was all standard stuff. Ur so shallow u lose one biggish pot and ur on a life support machine.

Funny story
Got the old shits from the dehydration. Had a few nervous moments, we were close to poopy in the pants time. Really adds to the excitment, it basically means i am part taking is some sort of gambling the whole time and some times several forms. To add to the excitment it can be hard to hunt down a toilet in these mazy casino's. Anyway just as I nearly soilded my self as I rushed from the bj table it reminded me of Irish college about 10 years ago. Me and Mc Shane were in a house full of bogers who didnt really like us for some reason. We used to play poker in the house where me and Mc Staz would relieve them of the hard earned money they got from there poor farming parents. One day a big pot developed when I had the best of it. I was dieing for a wee wee but if I left the table my hand was dead. Anyway your man was taking an age to call off his money, he also knew I was in bad need of the bathroom . Eventually he calls and I bolt out the door to the toilet. In the process the dam bursts and I drench myself. I am seen and there are 20 rowdy lads banging the door of the toilet as i am sittin in there wondering would should I have bet move on the river.

Played a very small bit last night before leaving, dropped a quick $5k in 25/50 plo. Was in about 5 2/3k pots and lost them all but on average I was prob 40% dog so clear to see I wasnt playen great but wasnt playing badly eithier, just literally nothing went for me. This puts me right on track for my 4th losing week. Think vegas has come at the right time as looking forward to getting away from the machine.
After spending 4 hrs on the runway our connection flight form JFK to las vegas it was canceled because of bad weather. The flight was only 5hrs 50 mins. One of my mates lives in Manhattan so just chillin in his gaff now, do a bit of shopping and were booked on an evening flight. Cant complain to much, theres a lot worse things than be stuck in the heart of New York City. A few school mates are in lv at the mo for a few nights. Was more annoyed about missin what would have been a very rowdy night of black jack/1/2 nlh with buck loads of abuse for the ppl in the game and then some slick las vegas night club. Goin head out 2nite instead if our flight gets there. Round of each doesnt start til 5 p.m on thurs.
On a side note its great to be back in the land of the fake breast, they really do make for sooo much more interesting viewing while just living your life. Hopefully they will become like air bags where they will no longer be an extra but a standard feature.

100 and 1 things to do

Leaving for Vegas 2mor and I am busy little bee. Have to do a rake of things but no raking. (Laceys greedy little ears wont like to hear that) Got the hair styled this morning already, have to get the $'s wired over, i.p changer sorted, book internal flights in us and other stuff like packing. I like leaving packing til about 30 mins before you have to go. Your defo forgeting sumtin no matter how long you spend at it so when you arrive and have no pants you have the legit excuse. Laptop/charger,credit card and passport are the only 3 things you really need anyway.Recorded my 3rd straight losing week. Lost $3k online and €1k live. Raked 20k gjp points again on Saturday. My rake back for last week would be close to $2k which covers some of the loses. Had a terrible run at the end of Saturday in sng's doing about $6k, bubbled a rake of them. I was at the end of a sick 2 days of poker and wasnt playing my best stuff, but i'd more point to variance. Went out on Saturday night as was in need of a break, hangin yesterday so went to dub's match and then chilled with the lads pretending to be normal watchin a dvd before I launch into the creepist month of my life. God I cant wait.
I'll prob do a quick summary of the year for me so far and a summary of my expectations and plans for the wsop while stuck in JFK tomorrow afternoon.

Raking Like mad

Raked 20k gjp points yesterday playing sitting and goes. Thats $1200 for mike lacey from in one day.(I hope the c*nt chokes on all my money). Won about $5k over the course of the day aswel which was nice. Won about $4k in sng's on Wednesday but did it in 50/100 plo. Lost a race where it was all in preflop, I was a small bit behind like 28% in a 3 waay pot. So I am $5k up for the week, no doubt I will be doin this in plo.
Just in case any one is wondering I just past Rob Taylor out on sharkscope. He claims sharkscope doesnt post all his winnings but its a pathetic excuse imo. So just check out irishrobbie and cashrichboy on sharkscope if you get a chance.
Planen on raking 20k points again today, will see how it goes as it is alot of hours.
Played the sports last night, gg but lost about €1k in the game, it was just one of those nights. As ever when in the sports nl game a very interesting hand developed between myself Kevin and Adam. Given the holding and the competencies of the players it made for a very interesting post mortem. Adam ended up scoopin the €1600 + pot.
Also pulled off 2 sick rolls. In one hand I bet hard on the river very Rory truing to repersent a missed draw when I had top pair. He makes the hero call with ak and I annonced missed heart draw, he quickly table ak for a hi, he starting to get some back slaps for a gr8 call before I table a pair. Lol.

All very very boring

Havnt posted in a while because I am basically sitting on my arse counting down the days to vegas. 1 week now. Lost $10k last week which is two decent losing weeks in a row. I am in a worse position than I taught regarding the rake I need so it all sng's for the next week. I am winning a decent amount at them. Running pretty bad at plo. Won about $15k in Sng's which has all been lost in 5/10 and 25/50 plo. Did have a small winning session in 50/100 plo yesterday. Wiring money to vegas is proving to be a real pain in the arse. If anyone is selling dols over there let me know.
