Mole and I both playing the Venetian 7pm deepstack. We're at the same table, me in the 7, him in the 9... Just started lvl 2 I'm up 800 early, flopped a set on a flushed board.
103 runners at the moment.
Just busted at the 600/1200 level when I pushed 13K in the cutoff with 66 after an ep limper. He said this was likely a bad call then called anyways with A,10. His stack was only 16K. 10 on the turn and another one down the drain... Sorry guys...
Forgot to mention another potential big hand that netted me almost nothing before I pushed with the J,9 suited earlier. I had KK, raised to 6BB after 1 limper, only other real tight player on my left, reraised me, I pushed, he called.. Turns over the other 2 KK's.. Damn, why couldn't they have been switched around? lol.. Mole was there for that one..
FYI, they had 135 runners for this one, think I went out around 50 something..
Was doing fine at 300/600/50 level, especially after forcing big stack to give me a few chips.. There was some history since an hour earlier I had 3 bet him from the BB with KK when he had raised from the small bind, he showed 10's. I didn't show but he seemed not to believe I had a big hand, Guess I mut have looked weak.
This time he raised to 1800 after it was folded to him from the small blind, I had 8,9 suited and shoved 11K. He thought about it for a while and said he would catch me eventually, why he said that I don't know.. He showed 10,9. lol I didn't show, but sure was tempted. Had 15K after that hand.
Two hands later I have JJ on the button, mid position raises to 1800, same guy flats and I shove for about 14.5K, SB shoves for less, about 10K, all the rest fold.. He has AK suited. flop 10,3,10, looked good, Turn K and I'm crippled down to 4.5K.. Shoved two hands later with A,9 suited, called by BB with 88, flop an A and I double back to about 9500.
Very next hand I have 77 and shove after 1 limper. Lady 2 to my left calls for 8500 with KK, she holds. I shove my 950 next hand with Q,6 suited and run into KK on my immediate left... Man I run bad, or is there something I should have done differently, perhaps with the 77 hand?

lol, a little late... Busted out when I shoved 10bb with 6,8 spades in the cutoff after one limper, button woke up with QQ. gg me... a long way from the money.. Not sure if that was the right play or not...
This has been a very frustrating trip for sure, while we had some good times, this stretch of not cashing may be the longest ever, and before I came I felt so positive.... Not sure how the western pro's do it.
Will tally up everyones refunds when I get a chance.
You came close on a few, was a fun sweat. Let me know balance and Ty for BAP!
You are too kind, I stunk the joint out actually... Not sure what it was, as I think over plays I made there was only 1 or 2 over the week that I would take back so it's not that I'm second guessing my play, but sure wouldn't have the stomache for it on a regular basis. I am no pro.. at least at poker..
Cash is still good though, I have had only 2 small losing sessions so far.
sorry didn't see the twitter update and was still hopeful for you. Seems like it may be the dark side of variance for you on this one.
Thanks for the updates (here and twitter). for someone who still hasn't made it to vegas it was a way to live it vicariously. and my money is probably better in your hands than mine anyway!

Nope. GGs...That's mtt variance.
I didn't think so, just needed confirmation..
I should but somebody wouldn't let me continue and took all my chips..
If I tried to play another tonight I would just be "Dead Money".
