Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas

I think you taught him that didnt you Karl :loon
:lol:lol:lol I didn't mean that in a Karl fishy way ;) I meant that Martyn is a very clever canny lad (and a fookin laugh BTW) and he was playing his stud game down at the table and scooping pots because of it :ok

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas Finally arrived home today after my time in Vegas... the stud tourney was going well early doors and I had increased my stack from $4k to about $6.7k by first break, which was pretty good going at 25-50,50-100 limits.:hope However after the break I never really hit another pot and lost a big pot with Pocket Kings in the Hole vs Pocket Aces in the Hole - when I finished with Ks & 6s against the opponents Aces full of 4s. Then the hand before lunch lost another major pot when I started with KQJ all spades and hit another Q on 4th street - by 6th street my opponent was showing a pair of 4's. And I had hit the T clubs and 4 spades on 5th and 6th streets - so I had more outs than the West Indies Cricket team, but my 7th street was a 5 clubs - she showed 2 pair - and that pot left my with $3.5k.:( I never hit again after break and eventually succumbed raising Ks on every street, and the (2hearts) bring in took me out when his ace on 5th street combined with the 2 in the pocket for trips.:cry :cry The WSOP isnt the easiest of places to get information from for those playing, so I am only assuming I finished somewhere between 160-170 as the monitors showed 168 remaining as I left the auditorium. Thats the tourney details .... I enjoyed the experience immensley,but felt my major stumbling block was that I assumed as I had played hold'em live before, that I playing Stud live would be much of the same, :eyes , WRONG !! Trying to remember the Ante,Bring-In and Small,Big Blinds and then trying to remember what upcards had been mucked and all the time you have a constant chat at the table, with things happening very quickly - meant a lot of my attention was taken up concentrating on the mechanics of the game as opposed to concentrating on the cards and players themselves. I'll post a few more WSOP thoughts when I've caught up on my sleep. But must say the whole experience was made even better with the presence of MCFC (Good Luck Next week Bri -and try to play a little STUD Hi-Lo live if at all possible before the tourney),and Teaulc hope everythings sorted now, or that you have at least got a comfortable park bench to sleep on:hope ). -- also big mention for Alan @ Inside Poker, who was a great host and treated me to a slap up meal at Ceasers Palace before I left -(even though Vicky Coren couldn't make it :sad )

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas Well done Martyn :clap:clap:clap - not for the poker but for getting a meal out of Alun :lol Dont worry about me and my stud hi lo mate, I have decided that ignorance is the best policy :ok. I rushed to find a game on stars tonight I found a $20 one and entered was playing for 10 mins before I realised it was just stud :lol (still I'm chip leader at the moment ;)) Please stop the nice words, thats you and Alan now, you will be ruining my tardy reputation on this forum. ps you forgot to mention my outstanding win in the PH tourney :moon

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas Really glad you enjoyed the trip, if not the tourney, Martyn and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. In fact all three of the PLers I met out there - Brian, Martyn and Alan - were cracking company and a really good laugh. It's not been the same since you have gone lads - I'm far more sober for a start. There are still two more H.O.R.S.E. qualifiers to play, with Neville playing in the Omaha 8 event on Monday. Then it's the MCFC express trying luckbox his way into the money on the 28th. In all seriousness, and without wanting to pay more compliments to Brian, I'd love it if he made the money. He has been a total star about coming back out to play in the Stud 8 tourney, and it would be brilliant to see him do a Jonathan Woodfield.... And no, that is not what I meant Brian... :lol

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas I think Mook is off on his own (well without Tulk and VoJ anyway) either today or tomorrow - so whether your over here or over there Brian, ....anything Jonathan can do, you can do better;) . ....And I didn't give you much of a target to beat :$ But most of all enjoy it and Good Luck :ok If you get chance amid relaxing with Milawaukees Best Light, and the delights of the Marquee keep us all informed of your exploits.

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas Hello All I'm afraid MCFC never even got to play. He had the mother, father and grandfather of nightmare journeys getting over to Vegas. Bear in mind he was supposed to arrive on the Weds PM, well he eventually got there early Friday morning. It sounded absolutely horrific he needed about 5 beers poured down his neck before he even raised a smile when I met up with him on Friday. I was gutted he didn't get to play in the WSOP, but not as much as he was. I'm sure the PL boys out there will make him drink through it though. At the very least I really hope you enjoyed the rest of the time there Brian - and hope to see you there next year. Go on - you know you want to really! Cheers Alun

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas What a handsome fellow, on P.26 (Bottom Right), of this months Inside Poker.:eyes As I said above I wasn't exactly sure of my final finishing position, so,I'll take Aluns article giving me a placing of 130th as being accurate, and not just your usual paper talk !!;) Look at me its Midday and 110 Degree heat, and I've got a coat on zipped up to the neck !!... I did actually try and find some fingerless gloves to play in (truth), plus the picture doesn't also show the fact that I am also wearing my pajamas - (the same ones I was wearing when I won the freeroll, although they had been washed in the interim month) under my trousers (truth) :lol

Re: Tulk, Mook and VOJ are off to Vegas The Hat was part of the Sponsorship Package, although Full Tilt never actually did send me any sponsored gear !! So Alun (IP Editor) had to find out a Cap from his store (and he didn't have any with ear warmers) he also came with a Full Tilt Sweatshirt (Medium), which was a little tight to say the least. However Brian (MCFC) looked a ringer for Kenny (from South Park) in it :lol - but even with Brian putting it on and stretching it, I still couldn't make it fit :eyes
