Had a late night dinner last night for a friend's birthday at Rare 120 at the Hard Rock and it's not sitting too well with me. First of all it gave me weird dreams.
I was invited to church with Gavin Smith. And I went. I know. Weird. My high school friend's Norwegian wife was there also.
After trying to find a parking place and introductions to the blue haired ladies of the congregation, we all stood up, held hands and walked over to the bountiful buffet. I reminded myself not to drink the cool aid.
Then I woke up with a stomach ache and a dreadful feeling that I had missed my tee time. The thing was, there was no golf scheduled on this day.
I was tripping balls. I blame the lobster quesadilla appetizer from last night. It got me fuuuucked up. (I've never said that about a food before)
After clearing away the cobwebs I head down to The Venetian for today PLO8 tournament. In the car I manage to spill orange juice AND cream cheese all over my shirt.
This is gonna be a trainwreck of a day.
15,000 in chips to start, 40 minute levels, and a decent structure. Sweet.
Table 65 seat 4
Table draw:
Seat 1: Random Fat White Guy. Big one. Same shape as Humpty Dumpty.
Seat 2: RYWG
Seat 3: Random Persian Guy
Seat 4: JDN
Seat 5: RWG with bad breath. Why are they always sitting next to me?
Seat 6: Random White Lady with bleached blond hair and bruises on her flabby overly tanned upper arms.
Seat 7: Random Asian Guy. Low SAG possibilities.
Seat 8: Jason Stern. I swear this guy is stalking me.
Seat 9: RWG
I swear I always have to sit next to some douche bag with dragon breath that doesn't know how to brush his teeth or how to eat a Tic Tac. He's horrible at this game too so hopefully I will bust his Breath Savor needing ass.
I'm slightly torturing Humpty Dumpty. Not playing big pits but just keeping him off balance so he keeps giving me chippies.
20K at break.
I have bottom set hold up against seat 2's top two nut low and nut flush draw to get up to 25K. That hand never holds up! Woot.
190 runners for today's tourney. That's pretty amazing for a new game that blossoming on the tourney circuit.
24K for 1st. I have goal.
Humpty Dumpty had a fire lit under his ass in the 200/400 level and raised every hand until the RPG busted him after they both flopped broadway and it came runner runner diamonds. Can't put it back together after that BS.
It's limped to me in the big blind and check with the monster hand of 9997. To make my hand worse the Th was exposed before the flop.
Since I brought this hand up, you have to assume the last 9 flopped. I did. 9 3 2 board. And I had top set. So I pot it to 1200 and the kid in seat 2 repots to 5k or so. He's only got 3K behind so I put him all in guessing at best he's got an under set or a wrap.
He shows 3457. Got some outs to dodge.
Turn 3. Sweet.
River King. Scooooop!
34K.
Table break and I move to table 64 seat 6. The next table to break. Bah!
Table 64 is a fairly tight table. Every other preflop pot is winning the blinds.
I bet it up to 1700 with AAQ8. The big blind, a RYWG in seat 2, calls.
Flop is Q 4 6. He checks. I bet 2700 he calls.
Turn is a J. He checks. I check thinking he's gonna hang himself if a face card falls.
River is a 9. Gotcha bitch. He bets 7000 and I quickly call. He shows A239. Ship it.
Table breaks.
Table 76 Seat 3.
Big pot on the last hand before break. I raise to 2100 with As3sKcJc and get called in two spots before the big blind, seat 9, repots it to 11,100.
I read seat 9 for mild retardation, so I put him on a bad A2 hand.
I call, so does the Euro in seat 6. The small blind is short and is getting the right price, but he folds. Later he said he had aces.
The flop falls 4 J 6 two diamonds. Seat 9 jams it in for about 7k. I repot to isolate and the Euro folds.
Mr 9 shows A28K two diamonds. Oops. I don't like my hand so much now. I'm ahead. Barely.
Turn 6. Lame.
River King no diamond. Aiyeah. Chop it.
49,400 at break.
Get moved to a new table with about 60K.
There's two old dudes here just shipping it with naked low draws and they're both sitting on 100K stacks.
I try to catch them and end up giving away half my stack before missing a low draw and busting.
Very disappointed. Gonna go beat my dog.
