Ok guys, sorry for the delay. Pretty embarrassing but I have all my passwords stored on my comp and didn't think to take
my 2+2 one with me to Vegas.
First few days felt pretty ill. Had cold like symptoms and pretty bad jet lag. Was awake for 35+ hours between leaving
my house and finally getting some sleep in Vegas, then only slept 4 hours before being wide awake.So I decided not to play
the Goliath and rest up for the next tourney.
Had a good 12 hours before the first tourney on Saturday, which was the $1500 DC WSOP event. Really excited for this, as it was
the event I was looking forward to most and my first ever WSOP event. Table draw was very meh, kinda recognised a couple
of the players and they were all American, which meant lots of Badeucy/Badacey, which are by far my weakest games. Lasted
just over 2 levels, losing most of my chips in Big O and PLO. Bustout hand I bet/check/shoved w AdJTx btn v sb on JdTdxAxd.
SB bet just over a 3rd pot on the river and I jammed for a little under pot. He thought about it for a good while. Really
don't like bluffing here vs random as people don't like folding flushes and he eventually called with Kdxd.
Next tourney was the MSPT $1k at Venetian. Woke up pretty early, so headed down there and played an hour or so of low stakes
NLHE to get a feel for the room/chips etc. Got nothing going here, table was pretty loose and fun but had no hands in pos
and ended up check folding multi way a few times. Dwindled down and lost a fairly big pot with JTcc v A9cc on ccxcx, I had
the lead on the river and though about shoving for just over pot after bet,call/bet,call 3 way, they changed my mind to
check jam then to check call after some deliberation. This left me with about 15bb, and I jammed over a late pos raise
wA3cc and ran into AK and AK.
Loved this tourney, the guarantee, buyin, chips, room (was out by the sports book) and regretted not firing a 2nd/3rd bullet.
Next up was the 8 game. Had a pretty nice table to start but soon turned tough with DJK to my left and some guy with tons of cashes to my right (forget his name).
Played really well all day though, and steadily built up to around 50k at the end of the day. This was nearly double the avg. Day 2 and I got
a really bad table draw. Portuguese pro to my right, Gavin Griffin to my left, some guy they all knew as well and a couple of American guys.
Ran bad first rotation of triple draw, bricking a 1 draw twice, 3 hands in a row. Then played very bad after. Tried to bluff the Portuguese man
in stud 8 w (KK) A236 (J) vs pretty obvious bare AA which I wasn't proud of and that left me extremely short. Tried to fold my way into the money
but busted in triple draw with 2 BB drawing 2 then 1,1 vs 3,2,1, he made a T vs my J and that was that.
Obv missed the millymaker due to day 2 of the 8 game, but felt so down from the way I played that day 2 that I though best not to play anymore
tourneys for the trip.
Thanks to everyone for investing, really sorry for lack of updates post Vegas but it's been quite hectic and annoying to not have internet.
Refunds will be posted back the way they came unless you PM me otherwise and I'll be giving all investors a % freeroll to my next $500+ tourney for
the inconvenience caused.
Refunds coming back-
$600- Goliath
$1500 Millymaker
both missed.
$2100 altogether.
