What a tool. He mistook an Austrian for a German.

Comfort food from Carlo’s Bakery (Cake Boss)



Followed by drunken poker in the Venetian with guitarist68 and a guest appearance from golddog

Hey congrats on the cash. You might think it sucks but you got to play poker with a bunch of pros and they paid you $860 to do it.

Congrats on the cash man, great story!

Vitamin C/zinc and Airborne, then drugs like Dayquil to get you through the day.

Thanks again for the support guys.

After splashing around in the Venetian poker game for a few hours and a few beers, I headed back to the Delano and gave sleep the chance it desperately craved. It was seemingly greeted warmly as I didn’t wake for 11 and a half hours.

The plan for today is not poker. Not because I’m burnt out or anything lightweight like that but instead we have something heavyweight planned. Guitarist68 and I are off to watch the Gypsy King, aka Tyson Fury, make his Las Vegas debut at the MGM Garden Arena.

So, time to grab a coffee, up my nicotine levels, and then grab some breakfast, (or is it lunch or early dinner?) with guitarist68 before slowly making our way to MGM.

A heavyweight fight in Las Vegas.... should be fun.

And thanks to golddog for making the effort to say “hi” and jump into a game with us last night. Golddog is one of the good guys and if you see someone playing poker around town with a gold dog as a card protector, it’ll be him.

Enjoy the rest of your trip mate and safe travels back to the mountains!

Thanks, Dunc. Really enjoyed meeting you & guitarist.

You guys enjoy the fight, safe travels back to Austria.

Undercard - main support fight. Hart v Berrera

Awesome Report!
Thanks

Rubbish fight, and clearly something dodgy. Schwarz goes down in the second to a jab, then he’s on the ropes trying nothing, the clapper goes to signal 10 seconds to the end of the round and his corner still chucks the towel in. What a load of ****e.

Back in my favourite room in Las Vegas.

Great in theory but my big turn raise with a straight was called and the river card completed the flush and paired the board. I checked and she flipped over her full house.

Now battling to get unstuck!

Thank goodness it's Vegas where the noble sport of boxing would never have any dishonest goings on.

4 regs on my table at the Wynn, all loudly complaining about the lack of action and asking for a table change. The irony is that they’re the biggest nits at he table

In other news and for those that haven’t seen it, Robbie Campbell just took down the $1.5k 2-7 TD, beating David Back heads-up.

I spent most of day 1 playing with Robbie, and have played with him before in Melbourne. Robbie is a genuinely good guy, and very clearly was liked and had the respect of all the recognisable pros around the event.

Well played Robbie and congratulations on the very well deserved bracelet. It is fantastic to see it going to a great ambassador of both poker, and Melbourne, Australia.

Gotta leave these Wynn nits to their nit-peddling ways.

Cashing out this much.......

Happy Fathers Day to Dunc, guitarist68 and any other dads reading the TR

Awwww !

You too mate!

Great result in the 2-7. Not what you dreamed of but what an experience and you made money doing it.

And you are in freaking Vegas for 2 weeks.

Enjoy the rest of your trip! I do love those pictures with blue felt.

A short diatribe on sleep....

Yesterday when I woke, the first thing I did was look at the clock in the room. It said 2:20. I had to open the curtains to find out if that was a.m. or p.m.. The blast of daylight suggested the latter.

Last night / today I haven’t slept....... at all. Not one iota. Not through lack of trying mind you. I just haven’t been about to sleep. I got back to my room about 3.30am and couldn’t get to sleep. At 6am I gave up, came downstairs and bought a croissant, then went back to bed and tried again. Still couldn’t get to sleep. It’s now 10am and I’m torn between giving up completely or giving it one last shot. If I do get to sleep now, I’ll no doubt face the same predicament of not being able to sleep tonight. If I don’t go to sleep, I’ll probably fall asleep at a poker table some point this afternoon.

But there is a third option. That option is to go to the spa for a 90 minute massage. I’m bound to fall asleep during that and perhaps 90 mins will be enough to see me through the rest of the day.

I’ll let you know which option I go with.....
