well i did not last to long in day 2 . after getting up to 21k i pushed against the big blind only to find him with kk and i did not improve so there the end of my dream for 2007.
after leaving the tourie room i felt bad for losing so quick but on futher thought i am happy with myself with my total play over the whole week here inculding my winning the seat in sat the one and only one i played in .On refection I could not have played any better than i did .
i would like to have cashed as the cash would have been nice as i came over here with just enough to get by which is not enough really . i found the 2, 5 omaha game very soft here and will be coming back next year for that alone .but u must be well tanked to play the game rightly and be able to take the ups and downs .
i like to thank all my friends who phoned me wishing me well in tourie and those who sent me emails and hope to come back next year better for this trip here.

short stacked but still in
well played my first day and got through with 15100 chips . well thats ok part one of my plan is done so now to part 2 which i think will be a lot harder but who cares i did what i wanted to do .
it was the best time of my poker life to play here and survive day one and it was a very long day starting at 12 noon and we finished at 3.30 am next day .
the whole day went ok for me untill the last hour when i reraised with QQ to be called . kt6 floped checked by both of us . 8 on turn i bet out to be called and when 9 came on river he went all in with me having to fold .
i kept plugging in there after that to finished the nights play .i asked him after what he had he said he floped small set and i was unlucky as he was not going to call my reraise at all but felt he was to short stacked and gambled .
having a rest day now and i will go out tonight for dinner and a few buds will have a early night and get rested for tomorrow .
how im going to play tomorrow i dont know yet as i will see what cards i get in first few hds .but i dont think i stay to long below 10k as i will try to double up soon or go bust.

how to play poker well in vegas
well just learned h ow to play poker well here in vegas .
u first go drinking with the great big al and then u get joined by nic nic and all his friends .then u carry on with kpnuts because he is more likely be the last one to finish .u look at your watch then to get the fright of your life its 9.30 am and the tourie starts at 12 am
so now its time to start drinking the cokes to sober up a bit for tourie no point going to bed now . then go down and invest 1080 dollars into tournie now u are half ways there up all night drunk and money invested .
now next thing to do is go down to were u are going to play and find were u are sitting before the tourie starts incase u lose your way later now remember this place u must get back here before the tourie starts very imporant thing this is .
now the tourie begings u play like a rock and only play premium hds that gives u a bit of a rock style look to other players they will lay down big hds to u . next u make a big call with a middle type hd against a player with a small stack whos been playing with any type hd mostly kt or kj type hds u must not put all your chips in but more than other people would call with u need a9 or a8 suited type hd for this .
now lady luck needs to be with u here but if she is u now have a good few chips , next wait for break and first hd or maybe 2nd or 3rd hd back make big raise with hd of tt or jj u will be called or put in for reraise here now they seen u played crap hd early on .they think u will lay a middle type hd down but this is the time u will double up or go bust
, if lady luck is in your favour u have now got enough chips to play only premium hds again .then its is up to the gods .
at this time u are looking at your chips and having seen thats there only 150 players left and u really can win here u sober up quick . u are playing the rush here u are not tired nomore and u play like a rock and only make moves when in position and with good premium hds .
well thats what i did now im playing in main event wat a way to go .if this helps anyone else then its been worth it i suppose no sleep for 2 days drinking for half that and main event ticket for biggest event in the world was worth it .

witch hunting poker style
having been playing poker for a few years now i come to find that been the nice guy does work and people who play poker should win and lose with style and not bitch when they lose to some bad beat by a inferior player that they think is below them they must remember that he still there and u are the railbird now . Playing in a cash game the other night after been put out on the bubble the talk was how bad the chip leader was and he never will win but i thought to myself i loved to be that bad with all those chips instead of listening to the witch hunting that was going on 6 to4 the bet was for him to win pity i had not a lot of money with me i have taken that bet as he went on to win and i would have won from our local pro who just become a poker genius since he won one big tourie haha hope he still has the money at the end of year then i give him the respect he wants but he must give the same to other players as well to earn that and not bitch about other players who he now thinks are below him
