may aswell start from the beginning..
the day arrives friday morning, showered breaky packed and ready to go, myself and steven (events) set off about 1pm
traveling down the m6 at a casual 100 mph most the way.. until horrendous traffic jams about 50 miles from destination.. nose to tail.. took about an hour to clear.. so a three and a half hour journey becomes 4 and a half..
we get off at junction 16 and cruise along to the casino, we enter and register as members nice and easy quick as could be not like liverpool in febuary
so along to the casino we go.. as we pull in theres a bucket load of people sitting outside drinkin and smokin.. we turn around pack and get the bags out the boot,
we go over to the crowd who included chumley, gungod, pastieman, totty, chickster, novice, and a brickload of others who i cant recall at the moment, we stood with them for a minute or two..
we go into the hotel where in the lounge area we can see sal, sharpe and dan,
sharpe comes over to us says hello.. as he is one to do..
we head upstairs and check in, nice and easy again..
dump the bags and head down..
stairs to the bar where we sit for a bit. evil cille sal sharpe dan danny keano are all there. we decide we are going to head out for some food.
myself and steven in one car,
sharpe dan evil and cille in the other,
we head away from the casino following them.. they managed to find a one way street which they thought the restraunt was on.. we stopped and turned about at the end waiting for the dumb shits..
we eventually found a riverside restraunt. we all go in,
had to seat outselfs cause the staff were crap, we ordered drinks which took forever to get, then evil orders some rabbit food.. sorry veggy food which we were told would take 5 minutes.. half hour later she got that while us 5 tucked into our cavery meal..
bill came and was considerablly cheaper than we imagined so payed and ran incase they made a mistake.
back to the hotel. and ready for night one at the casino..
we head along at 7 and meet up with everyone, block, andy, wayne, hami and irishcrickey, last2end bat95 willgx gungod, totty, chumley, hotender + wife, sal cille, bubbles, tinalou, madmann MET EVERYONE was great talking, then block comes upto me asking for a pound for the waitress's as we all know that was wasted money!
so skipping to the game time,
i look to the telly and see im on table 6 seat 4.. so i go over and take up the dealer position, at the time i was thinking dammit, sharpe rob and evil are not on this table.. i had been telling them how i was going to slaughter them if they were lucky enough to be on my table. i believe it was rigged so they werent!
so my table had numberous faces i recognised including, pastieman, bls12, danny keano, tinalou, and a few others.. lol
dealing begins and i go for a bluff first hand which bls stops me, - now earlier in the night he had informed me that he was going to take my bounty.
he wins round one,
i won round two with the same hand different flop,
few hands in im dealt k5s on the bb, i flopped four card flush draw and lost 1000 chips chasing it to bls who tried to bluff me into thinking that if i called i won.. i dont fall for these games.
it was about now that the band of horror came onto the stage and created some racket which was untrue!!
so plugging away the cards are good dealings going well and everyones having fun except me whos thinkin why have i got so few chips..
i get dealt aj and find pastie raising me preflop, i call with aj flop is 6 7 8 his bet is cautious so i call and the turn is a jack, i check raise him all in and he manages to get away from it, woohoo finally i got some chips.
few hands later tinalou was knocked out by me and im gathering chips, andy had been moved to the table along with evilluck, (finally got that muppit on my table SHOWTIME)
i deal out the hand and im the big blind i normally look at my cards on my turn but i grabbed a sneak peak nice and early.. all folds around to bls who makes a small raise, he has me covered from continal bullying and agression chipping up nicely.
i say, ok i call you blind (now we know ive seen my cards but he doesnt)
so i call and the flop is 7 8 9,
i check and he bets about 400 into a 1000 pot, so i call
turn is a 6 again i check and he bets 1200 into the pot, now im playing blind here and i can tell by looking at him he has a peice of it but he is scared, but i say to him,
"im all in blind, i musta hit something maybe i mean four card straight, and your bluffing"
my reraise was from 1200 to 2900 he says to me
"your playing blind?"
"yes not seen my cards"
so he calls, now i know what ive got but he doesnt he shows k8 thinkin hes infront, i show an A then a 5 IVE HIT THE STRAIGHT YEHOOOOOOOOO
his face was a picture to see.. he was gutted and the table was having a little chuckle.. needless to say he wasnt ammused but he had chips left and a face that says ill get ya back you bastard.
now the action continues.. and i believe my next hand worthy of playing was a pair of aces, i had them under the gun so i limp for the 600 all folds to fudgie who had about 1700 left, he went all in so im thinking this is great nice raise for me to come over the top, but everyone folds around to me, i auto call against his ak and the board doesnt help him.
so there goes another one..
now this is where things begin to change, "Trixy" came to the table with a big angry stack of chips, she had roughly 11000 and a condition we will describe as WASTED, she was playing fairly tight but big stack, i look down at mine which i had been accumulating nicely and i had roughly 14500 chip leader,
the action is dealt out and leafy was on the bigblind, all folds to trixy who moves all in i almost call with 89 suited but it wasnt good enough, the action folds to leafy who calls with POCKET ROCKETS! vrs 23 offsuit
needless to say trixy was probably feeling the need for another pint was at hand.
the board
2 5 10 q 2
leafy is crippled from big stack down to 625 chips, and bad beat of the tournement.
a couple of hands later i take out leafy and capture yet another bounty.
trixy was implying in the break i owed her a drink for it. and i was having none of it, she wanted to play a game of me called dodgying heads, which had two results, she wanted a kiss.. or she wanted to headbut me.. now one i dont mind the other i do.. ill let u guess which!
after the break the action resumes. gaz the hippy evilluck, pastieman, danny keano, trixy, andy, coupllgirl bls and me are all on the table.
now this is where things become a bit hazy
i remember a hand against evil bls and myself,
evil moved all in, called by bls and me, i wanted that bounty!
evil :a8 suited
bls : j9
me 22
6 7 8 2 5
the worst thing is both bls and evil had 1300 chips exactly so i missed the bounty despite having the better hand!! i still lost.
then there was two hands i was infront going into the action i think it was a2 v k10 or kj which i lost, then another i cant recall but i know i lost three in a row.. and alot of chips with it.. my stack was crippled to roughly 4000
i wanted to tilt but lookin down at 68 it wasnt good enough to andy's raise but that flop came out a 8 8 i was like WHATS GOING ON!!!!
next hand, bls is down to 400 chips blinds are about 800/1600 he moves all in from the dealer position, i had not seen my cards this time, but i thought, if i can shake the bb im making money and a bounty if i win, so i go all in for the big blind to call
bls : a9
pasajan? with k10
me with.. q3 so shocking and the amount of people around the table watching was scarey. however
the flop
q3q43 the crowds roaring in laughter as dealer im like WOOHOO!! finaly got some chips and back into this game.. but our table number was low.. and we got seperated into two final tables instead of three
it was here i got moved to a table with
andy, holtender, bubbles, and another 6 bubbles husband was the dealer (not playing) so finally i was off the deal,
i tried to get agressive with little chips however it didnt work too well, i lost a hand with 910, then i managed to win the next with 910 capturing what happened to be my last bounty of the night number 7 beating a pair of eights when the 9 hit.
the levels are steep at about 1000/2000 now and i said to holtender, if its just the two of us im gonna push u all in bb, he said i know.
i look down and see 10 2 and i push all in he says this must be fate and he calls me with 67
flop 6 8 9 and its not looking good for me im crippled in stack with high blinds.. the git beat me with my hand!!
so i go all in shortly after with a hand called by bubbles and andy, andy was the victor and took my bounty,
i believe it was the loudest cheer of the night when i went out in 15th..
that was the end of my poker action that night. however i watched a few of the games which where still in play including the trixy demolishing act with any two cards, she eventually finished first with 15 bounties or so to her name!
i spent a bit of time playing the roulette and managed to win 120 pounds quick enough, i left the casino with about 230 pounds in my pocket when i entered with 100 i thought that will do nicely!
we got back to the hotel at roughly 5am everyone piling in.
End of day one.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Day two.
9am i am up for breakfast being a diabetic. i was aware that breakfast closed around 10 oclock so i get my insulin and head down, steven still passed out in bed from the nights drinking before.
when i get down to the breakfast hall the first two people i see are mr and mrs git, so i talk with them for a little while enquiring how their night went and if they had a good time, before i know it im being told by mrs git that breakfast will be over soon so i scaddle off get a bowl of cereal and a nice apple

i go over to the table with block, last2end, waynes and a few of the other lads. they are talking about the night before laughs aloud was great craic so it was.
i heard the rumour of andy being stalked by a nice male friend who wanted him, only to be told by block he straight out told the guy.. FUCK OFF!! which i found rather hillarious.
breakfast finished and we were kicked out of the breaky hall.. most people heading for bowling or some sorts..
i wake rob up about 12 and find out hes away for lunch with his parents, shortly after dave is up and we head down to the midway bar where we get some lunch and steven eventually drags himself out of bed.
sharpe me dan rob and steven sitting in the bar ordering food and what not, shooting some pool. the suggestion is made for a sit n go. by the time i get back with chips there is eight willing to play
chickster, danny, pastieman, steven me rob dave and dan.
cutting this short as can be.
heads up myself and dan. he makes a raise i shouldnt of called with 24 of hearts flop was k 10 j with two hearts i check he moves in i call, he shows a8 and it holds up for high card.
by this time the scotland match is on tv.
so watching and playing was good fun.
by halftime hami myself steven buddiemad and his wife are watching the game, at halftime myself hami and steven nip down to the sainsburrys to get some supplies
when we get back steven nips off for a snooze, me hami, gaz the hippy and irish cricky crack open the chips for game two a turbo 5 pound game, which was gaz the hippy vrs hami heads up which hami won,
T time and casino time..
we all headed down to the casino for game two.
again lots of socialising pre game great fun again,
the game begins..
im sat with hotender, steven, irish crikey gazthehippy, callum boothy, pastieman, and i wish i could remember the rest..
the action sparks off and early on im up for taking chips as easy as i can.. i take out boothy nice and early with trips vrs top pair i believe it was.
so again im sitting healthy stacked, now mr 67 of the previous night holtender puts in a littleraise in so i call with 45 as does callum
flop comes 4 5 7, callum goes all in holt calls now i needed to think about this if one had trips i was knackered but i make the call and bust Aces for holt and queens for gaz about 5 or 6 hands in.. was quite sick.. but thats karma for beating me with 67
the game continues and gaz is chipping away with bluffs ten to the dozen. he had just shown one, so i make a raise with k10 and he calls me with 67 flop 4 8 9 he check raised me all in, i got a tell that he was weak so i make the call with k high, he spikes the 5 and my downfall begins.. i believe i walked into aces on one of the hands aswell which is never too healthy.. but my stack started getting squashed again and again.. shortly after im out
a sit n go is offered and im in for it as long as im not dealing,
dave rob robs mum, evilluck, last2end bat95 cille and holtender.
again i got a good start but ran into trouble when i called robs aq/ak with my 88 he shows aq and my tell reading ability is good again. but that doesnt help me
8 9 10 4 j what can you do?
there is about 5 left on the table and i try pushing the blinds in from dealer when i have threes and evil on the big blind finds hereself with some aces !! ARGH!!!!!!!
so away i go to watch steven playing the game until he gets knocked out, we head over to the casino games and i lose about 50 pounds quickly before evil beats cille and takes down the sit n go,
we start another but this time im dealing
last 2 end cille, steven me dave dan evil nwmatt and his wife? i think..
i knock evil out with aq v 77 so we are even at 1-1 for the wekeend with me getting a half point for the earlier described hand..
down to the final four.
nwmatt and wife vrs me and last2end, last pushes me big and i fold thinkin nwmatt be out soon, unfortunatly he continually doubles and my kj v last2ends kq and im out.. in fourth on the bubble.
it went man vrs wife and the man eventually took it down CMON THE MEN!!
whilst all this is going on we are down to the final table of the main event and i see chumley doing what he does best donking the tables

we head back to the casino at about 2/3am and this is where the fun REALLY BEGAN!
we all head into the midway bar we had been in earlier in the day, and one of the first things that happens is sal brings through the receptionist and shows her gazthehippy mr peircing and tattoo as she loves them, not long after gaz has his bellend out with a peircing through it.. sal cant breath for laughter..
i had a nice chat with andy about the game this weekend even though he had knocked me out he respected my game.. (probably why)
action continues and i have a game with dannykeano at pool loser bought the other a drink despite him being on black when i had 5 yellows left i made it 2 before he won, had a bad bounce.. but the bar was closing so the remainin wassers are in the lobby area.
evilluck, cille, dave, hippy, hami, keano, chickster, leafy, dogma, andy, crickey, me, and a sit n go is suggested so i fetch my chips but refuse to play or deal cause i was past caring about the game lol..
they play this and eventual winner was evil against dogma
the time flies by as we sit there talking about various shit and what not, sal flexing his muscles against hami and gaz in an arm wrestling challenge, which i declined due to personal reasons, :P
(ddint wanna embarrass myself)
next thing i know evilluck is having a thumbwar with hammi which is linked elsewhere in the forum.
wooooo its getting late now nearly 6 am! gaz and sal almost nodding off evil is plastering him with make up before he wakes up. sal dozes off and we tried to sneak off leaving him along unfortunatly it didnt work..
so we head to breakfast the late night nine!
sal cille sharpe evil me hami crikey hippy and dogma..
eating breakfast at 7am with these people.. the funniest thing was hami with his toast.. and a beer... what can you say..
well tbh.. not alot look at the lenght of this post.. you know the rest and if u dont.. i came home!
