Vegas Birthday Trip



Monster Park, 49ers vs Seahawks



mcfc, uber, f-tipper and morls

Went to Vegas again on Nov 17th for a gambling birthday with a few people from the punters lounge forum, mcfc, ubermonkey, f-tipper, and 2 of tippers mates,

Friday was spent travelling and meeting up with people on cheap flights(mcfc) and taking in the awe of Vegas, if you've never been, your missing out on a treat

Saturday was a wicked day, in the morning we played the Imperial Palace 9am $65 mtt, i finished 11th and mcfc 10th in a tourney full of pissed yanks or knackered brits, so with no money being won, we went for a game of golf at the calloway golf centre, none of us had played for ages but hey, it was a good laugh and new tiger woods were born! Later that evening we went to the boxing at the Thomas and Mack centre, Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales, the 3rd fight in the series, Manny was like a man possessed and proceded to destroy Morales awesome atmosphere with 22k mexican and 2k philipino fans in the crowd......1 fight on the undercard saw a boxer take 5 consecutive punches to the nuts, and he still got up to fight, until the other guy was disqualified after the 5th lol

Sunday myself and uber had a trip to San Fransisco to see the mighty 49ers in action against the Seattle Seahawks, who were massive favourites to win the game, unbeleiveably the 9ers pulled it off and won 20-14 with a man of the match performance from Frank Gore.

Mon-Tues-Wed....full of poker, shopping and spotting celebs in the high stakes poker rooms, where uber and mcfc managed to cash in a few tournies, i was off form, but i came with money i knew i could afford to lose, so was in no way disheartened, til my str8 on the turn was busted by a FH on the river....damn yanks.

Great time was had by all and i cant wait for next year! WSOP2007 whoooop

Apat Newcastle at Aspers

105th out of 210

hand that crippled me was

blinds 300/600 and i had 20k in chips

me AK (spades) on my BB, and i only checked when 2 callers

flop 5d 10c Kd

i bet 3k into a 2100 pot to take it down
1 fold
sb raises to 6k

(im thinking he has a pair with a flush draw possibly) so its either fold or raise again

i raised my stack all in and he instantly calls

turns over 5 10

hits his 5 on the turn

my ace comes on the river

take me to 2.5k in chips, bad play by not raising pre-flop anyway

next hand i get A7 and go all in, flop 77Q, Turn A, River 7 Quad 7's niceeeee and trebble up

1 hr later i get 88 on my bb and have my 7k left, i push all in to 2 limpers, both call all in and one has AA the other QQ, adios morls!

great tourney tho!
