New Location

Left Bellagio last night and now settling into Meridian Suites Condo. Seems very nice with only 1 or 2 small niggles. Actually managed a whole day off without live poker too which has probably done me a lot of good. Really looking forward to the wsop $5,000 PLO hi lo today at 5pm and hope to go deep but dont care if i dont despite it being my biggest direct cash buyin to date ($3000 horse other day was before this). Enough for now off to the pool for a couple of hours (something i dumbly managed to avoid at the Bellagio) before heading off to the Rio.

Bubble Time

Finished about 60th/450 in that horse (paid 48) so wasnt too happy after spending 19 hours (inc breaks) playing it. Think i need to play some NL or PL games after maybe overdoing it on the limit slog. Taking day off 2moz and moving to condo in evening. Then Friday is PLO hi lo $5000 so try and save my energy for that.

More Horse Stuff

Got a busy schedule for next week or so. Lots of wsop games i want to play and hope to go deep in. Played more cash last night for 6 hours after busting that smaller horse early. Went up $2,000 then chipped off gradually with junk so called it an "early" night at 11pm $1600 down.

Wanted to play the $3,000 horse today so it was probably good i got a good nights sleep. Horse was from 5pm until 3am and ive made day 2 with 34,700 (back at 2pm), average should be about 20k but blinds are getting a bit brutal so hope luck is still on my side. 450 entered, 198 left so long way to go yet. Seem to have taken a bit to horse although maybe im just running good. Its good fun live with the different games and not nearly as boring as holdem can often get.

The Romanian Blind Steal

Dnnno what and how much to post ere but i basically wasted an hour of my life with the floor people accusing a Romanian of stealing 10-20k yellow 1k chips off me in the horse. There is no conclusive evidence as camera was not on that table (normally casino part of venetian) but i spoke with Paul Parker who was on that table with me for that 20mins and he confirmed to me i had not lost a pot there so i know i was down 10-20k in chips when i got moved to another table near the end of the night. I had been on the white russians so i was not completely confident but i also wasnt as guarded as normal and now im completely sober i know it was a steal. It was confirmed when i spoke to Paul after bagging up and for no reason the Romanian in question came up to us to ask if there was a problem and acted exactly as i would expect once i told him i was thinking of asking for the cameras (already had done that and knew no result). Even wanted to shake my hand for some unknown reason as i hadnt accused him at that point as was in seat 2 so for all he knew i could have been after seat 1. soooooooooooo guilty.

I only entered this horse as a test for wsop horse events for razz, stud and stud hi lo and ive passed but i cant imagine what i might say to this guy 2moz. Gonna hav to restrain myself beyond belief or go to an extreme end of sarcasm to not get into trouble myself. Its so not about the money but im such a one for principles so i hope i dont disgrace myself with it.

As for the game itself back at 4pm no idea how many left etc but ive only got 20,500 as lost some at new table where i sat out half a level whilst talking to directors before losing 1 big pot. Started with 10k so thats pretty weak. Romanian has 80k+

PS: This is not a racial attack i know a couple of Romanian good chaps from poker but i do not know this guys name but he "befriended" me on a previous table so was obviously angling for this sort of move the whole time.

Quick Update

Damn thought the $550 horse at venetian today was 5pm start but its 4pm so im rushing off and prob b 30mins late or sommat. I wanna play it as only played horse once before and want to see if i can justify buying into any of the wsop horse events.

Was gonna play $1060 caesars but only got back to room at 5:30am after a 10 hour hi lo limit session. Dropped $4000 before running opposite and eventually finishing $2,450 up.

Friday i had a hi lo session for 100mins and ran good for $2,900 but i had dropped $1,500 online prior to that. Had mad piss up after that with Azi and Amatay who hav both flown home now.
