Make the Silver Legacy your next stop. It was loose, passive and friendly last summer. Also, their dealers subbing in as prop players makes for some interesting spots, though I never found out if they're playing with their money or house money.

After I shipped my QQ pre, SB snap called. The more I think about it, the more I really like his big $60 sizing on his 3-bet.

With me having $300 back, it leaves me the option of either shipping too light with the bluff part of my range if I'm polarized on 4-betting, and thinking that I have fold equity, or it gives me a chance to make a nitty fold with my wide button opening range if I'm not polarized on 4-betting. Either way it sets me up to make a big mistake vs a wide part of his range, though shipping QQ doesn't fall into either of these scenarios. It's one of the few premium combos where I'm not falling into a trap. Or is it?

I flip over my QQ before the runout. I always table my AIPF hands, even though you're not required to do so in a cash game. I don't want to risk even the slight chance of misreading my hand and mucking an unlikely straight or flush that I might miss if villain flips over AA or KK.

SB does not table his hand; rather he tells me before the flop hits that my QQ is 'not good'. I believe him but, whatever dude, just flip over your AA or KK. He does not. The runout is 5KA62. The poker gods have smiled upon me, and I scoop the pot.

Thanks will do.

What was the good VP you mentioned at the Silver Legacy?

Also awesome run out on your QQ all-in hand, feel your overdue for some of that.

Thanks brother! It was a 10/7/5 $.25 Double Bonus. I think I remember that it was on the lower level, about 50 yards to the right after you walk into the West 4th and North Sierra St. entrance, in the middle of the stacks.

Of course, if somebody exploited it in the past year, it's probably gone.

I’ll check, did see this on vpfree2, maybe people are trying to keep that DB on the down low.

Think I’ll head out to Virginia City, my friend that moved here told me it’s a must see attraction.

Games for today,

Nats vs Braves under 5 1/2 first 5.

Cards over Reds first 5.

Nats vs Braves under 10 whole game.

Wrong thread, sorry.

No problem brother.

The rungood continues as I stepped up $6.60 into another $630 ticket to a satellite for the last flight of the $5M Venom tournament. I'll probably play the Saturday satty. The Sunday satty offers a higher minimum number of seats, but Sunday's will feed you into a late entry.

get that ticket.

Thanks Da_Nit!



I'm in decent shape at the close of late reg. It's been a wild game though, with big swongs. At some point in the 30's, if I still have a big stack, I will shut down. Still a lot of play left, though, so I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.

What do you mean, "in the 30's"? When your stack will be around 30 bb?

Edit: Nevermind, you probably meant nb of players left since there are 33 seats paid. Had to zoom the pic to find out!

go go go!

That's it exactly! I love a solid edit as much as I love a good post.

Thanks fid!



I ran it up a bit, then I ran QQ into AA. Currently 11/39. It's borderline whether or not I can coast in from here. Ideally I'd like to win a hand or two, but the player on my left has been ripping it in a fair amount and doesn't seem to be at all fearful of busting.

Many short stacks?

More than a few, but before the hand-for-hand play triggered at 35 left, most of the players at every table were purposefully stalling, timing out on every hand. I didn't bother. It might be a viable strategy but it's tiresome as hell. I got bored and started playing Skyrim.

With 36 left, I figured I had enough to coast, so I would have turbo-mucked even AA if I'd picked it up beyond that point. The only time I would have started playing again would have been if I'd dwindled down to 34th place or worse, which would have been incredibly unlikely.

34th place was the semi-bubble and paid $1950 in cash instead of a $2650 ticket. That spot lasted one hand as a bunch of players shipped it in bad, trying to get the cash instead of the ticket.



I'm in.

The heat is on! Congrat Sir! So how does it work you play Day 1C then onto Day 2 and Day 3? How many days is it?

May all your cards be live and your pots be monsters, Mr. Suited!

Wow, congrats.

Thanks guys! I'll try to rep BBV in the fine tradition of Rob, H0RUS and...that other guy: the British guy who ****ed off the minute he won a bracelet...Hero Value? Never mind him. Win or lose, I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks Colin!

There are 2 days. Day 1C will be the last flight of Day 1.

Eh, I was wrong. The structure is so deep that they're planning on 3 or possibly 4 days of play. I'll just concentrate on getting through today: 12 hours of play, starting in 1 minute.

GL GL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg omg omg what fwwm said googogogoogogog glglgllglgl doitdoitdoit wheeeeeee

TYTY Fire and Gambelina!

2 hours in. Lots of 3-betting, like you'd expect. It's fashionable in the higher buyins. The two main culprits are on my left and my next left. I got into an oop 4-bet spot with one and it didn't work out. I have 2/3 of the starting stack, still plenty of chips.

3 hour mark.
