Back to my losing ways today.
Previously I'd built up a nice stack only to see it melt away under the higher limits.
Today it was downhill right from the get-go. Out in level 8.
Celebrity sightings: Chip Jett & John Cernuto at the Orleans.
Today (at MGM Grand): this lady was seated beside me:

Big news out of Hanoi: Craig Cooper wins the 9-Game.
There aren't gonna be too many MIX9s so this is a huge advantage for him.
Craig is fairly new to poker but his cashes have come in a wide variety of games.
He has a big chance here with Alan & Allen both wasting their time in the Bahamas.
This is even more fun that Game Of Gold: these guys are playing for a championship that they don't even know they are playing in!
The main skill here is to pick which games in which series to play. Playing well also helps.

I CASH!!!!!!
The game was Triple Stud (MIX3) and I finished 8th (9 got paid) for $546.
That's a good one to cash as PokerStars no longer schedules Triple Stud (or any other 3 game mix),
The bubble boy smashed his drink across the table when he went out. Also, returned to ask if anyone was laughing at him.
You see this kind of (deplorable) behavior in Las Vegas quite often but I've never seen it in Europe or Asia.
There is definitely something wrong with a lot of Americans.
Celebrity sightings: Greg Raymor was there (but at another table). At my table we had the winner of the 1976 WSOP bracelet for $5K Stud, the legendary Walter Smiley.

Nobody expects......Michael Migdol!
He cashed 6 times in the Poker Palooza in Reno.
Now, the Orleans have released some results and it shows Michael cashing in the FLO8.
That's 7 cashes in 5 different games! Pretty good for an old-timer with just 46K in lifetime earnings.

Game Of Gold puzzle news.
Now 8 entries but all from the Puzzles And Other Games thread.
Before I set up this puzzle I hadn't looked at the player's HM.
Now that I have, it looks like this puzzle is a lot easier than I at first thought.
I think there are a bunch of these players who are going to end up tying for dead last!
And all tied players can be ranked in any order.
What a bunch of losers!
The toughest player to rank will be Daniel Cates. He just shows up here and there for no apparent reason (where the good cash games are?).
And now I look at the entries so far. My money is safe!
The most interesting entry is the one from chuckleslovakian. There are only 3 of the 16 that are already "on the board" in this competition.
Those 3 are at the top of chuckleslovakian's list. But he claims his list is random. Really?
The chuckleslovakian entry:
Kyna England
David Williams
Olga Iermolcheva
Michael Soyza
Lukas Robinson
Fedor Holz
Maria Ho
Daniel Negreanu
Charlie Carrel
Johan “YoH ViraL”Guilbert
Nikita Luther
Andy Tsai
Jason Koon
Daniel Cates
Josh Arieh
Kevin Martin
I'm currently in Vegas so don't have my programs to calculate the rankings but with these 16 I can do it by hand.
Kyna England is currently #1 among these 16.

Denis Strebkov cashes in Vietnam.
I don't have my stats here so I don't know if he has moved in order to stay on PokerStars or if he plays exclusively live now.
He has cashes in PLO & NLH. Unfortunately, Hanoi has cancelled all the weird games they had on their schedule.
