I spent three hours yesterday at a car repair shop getting my air conditioning
fixed it seemed to go out after about 15 minutes every day which is a problem
when it's 105 degrees out so the plan was to go to the Golden Nugget 570 pot
limit Omaha Championships on the way there the air
conditioning stopped blowing cold air so I took the first exit and I have arrived
at the Rio just in time for the start of the one o'clock deep stack it's about 20
20 minutes away from the car repair place so after I bust this deep stack I
can just drive of shame right on over there and see if they can fix the
problem again tilt only intensifies when in it's a hundred degrees out
with blinds at 150 300 with a 25 ante action folds to the button who makes it
1,000 off a 16000 stack I'm in the big blind with pocket kings raise it up to
4,000 and he puts in the call flop comes jack 10 3 2 diamonds I do
have the King of Diamonds I bet 6000 a bigger bet on this wet flop
put a lot of his hands and tough spots like Queen Jack, Ace Queen, pocket queens
trying to get all of our money in he shoves we call and he shows pocket aces
turn is a 9 and the rivers a 4 and we now have 500 chips
I did not run it up and I'm OUT of the Rio daily I would reenter but I can't
risk Firestone complete auto care closing on me if I'm too deep in this
event so my priorities are to get my air conditioning in my vehicle fix today
again I Tilt way too hard when I'm sweating but I shouldn't have to be to
take care of some business come back tomorrow strong
this heat is making me absolutely crazy
chicken sandwich
king crab eggs benedict with potatoes
the World Series of Poker monster stack 15,000 starting chips the plan for today
is something a little different he's playing a pot limit Omaha
tournament last night on line bracelet event and I realized how beneficial it
is to play small ball that's right limping check calling bluff catching no
bluffing really small pots slow and steady wins the race that's right we're
gonna be open limping today so there should be some pretty unique hand
histories who are we gonna get to do the standings better watch and see we're
gonna bag and tag around 11 p.m. that is my intention
let's make it happen
two hours are down and I have not raised preflop once not once it's a it's a
small bowl strategy limp call look limp raise haven't even done that limp call a
small ball check call with blinds at 5100 I have East nine of Spades under
the guns you know we're limping person to middle position makes it to twenty
five big blind calls we call flop comes ace Queen three all clubs checks around
the turn is a six of hearts big blind checks I put out a small bet just three
hundred going for some value with top pair deny all the one club equities
original RAZR calls big blindfolds the river is a deuce of hearts total brick
we want to go for thin value once again D called by all visible worse mid pairs
with one club preferably so we bet just a paltry three
hundred he puts in the Colin says pocket kings we got him pair of aces nine
kickers good and we have starting stack after two hours of play no raising
preflop we're trying to get the showdown cheap and survive it's a monster stack
of the bag and tag and eight more levels
just not if you can hear me with blinds at 75 150 I'm in seat 9 where 10 handed
but only nine people the table see 10 sits down and he smells like rotten fish
and chips I know this smell not gonna get too into detail but after a few
minutes I pull him aside and say hey did you get lucky with a girl before you
entered this tournament he looks befuddled and says no I said oh
I smell a little something on you he goes oh that's because I didn't shower
today where do they get these people I put out a tweet I'm looking for some max
deodorant body spray whatever you got I can barely breathe you know what they
say in Karate Kid man can't breathe man can't fight you can't fight but I'm
fighting blind or 75 150 middle position makes it 350 I'm in the big blind with
eight floor off suit the worst eight high I'm going to defend I put in the
call the flop comes six five deuce we have the double belly he Chet I check he
bets 400 I make it 1,200 good call but I think it's best to not call out of
position with eight high the turns of Jack pretty irrelevant but I think we
have to set up a triple barrel here we can wrap all two pairs sets and
straights maybe even get him to fold an over pair on the river so we've got
1,800 and he calls the river is a seven we make the straight I was afraid I'd
have to barrel it off and punt it off but we got there if you want to make
this bet easy for him to call but still get max value from his over pairs so we
bet 5,000 he hates his life and puts in the fold unfortunately and we take it
down we have 27 thousand on second break
going to 100 200 with an auntie
having really said that I can become your ward and they could just come back
maybe crispy crispy I appreciate I wish I would have recorded the audio of when
I asked stinky if he's gonna shower on dinner break he said he didn't know if I
was serious earlier when I commented about his smell but I told them oh I'm
dead serious from there he was kind of dumbfounded
again and said well I have been really showered in three days so I'm sorry if I
stink but you know if it tilts you then that's a good thing that's when I said
no that's a horrible thing aren't you a human being is this how you
treat fellow human beings this isn't Nam there are rules
smokey this was not Nam this is bowling there are rules yes again if I was
serious I gave him a stone cold stare of death and said you got a shower on break
bro he says or else what I said well you'll just be disqualified from the
tournament all the dealers can attach to how horrible you smell you're in the ten
seat he says oh okay well it's 50/50 if I shower I said no
it's a hundred percent you shower or you'll be disqualified for man walked by
I said floor this guy just admitted he hasn't showered in three days
he smells horrible and I've been dealing with it for six hours
the fluoresce if this is true stinky confirms it's true the four pulls him
aside and says yeah you got a shower or else you can't play so kudos to the REO
staff we're now on seventy five minute dinner break you better come back
smelling like a rose or else we're gonna have a problem let's
go to its Jenga
Oh
deep inside someone someday
Oh
with blinds at 100 225 auntie action pulls the middle position
Asian male aged 25 to 35 conservatively makes it 500 off a 8k stack I'm in the
cutoff with pocket queens 3bet to 1500 I know my game plan is to play small ball
but I think this guy has it in him to spew it off everyone folds back to him
and he puts in the call pop comes king five deuce rainbow he checks I check
planning to pretty much call down and he run out that doesn't include an ace
it turns another king beautiful card and he leads out 1800 easiest call of my
life it does put two black kings on the board and I have two red Queens so that
does discount all of his suited king and queen combos we go to a river the river
is the Queen of Spades putting the backdoor Spade draw out there he jams
all-in we snap call his pocket fives set over set we got him
forty thousand on dinner stinky should have showered if not there's gonna be a
problem let's see what happens
