CRAZY TOM GOES TO VEGAS - by CRAZY TOM

Bellagio - $1060 Saturday Night Event.

168 players 5000 chips each. 840,000 in play.

Table one build the chips up to around 15,000 get moved to one of the last three tables in the event seat one.

Get to the table and watch the guy in the seven seat double up by catching a heart on the River (In the end he takes 6). But have chips to my left and right. The chips to the left are really live and I only get to play with them twice, first time they fold on the flop, second time they take the lead and I leave.

Build the chips up to around 25,000: 2-3K at a time, finally look down to a AQ of spades, with the tight chips in seat 10 raising five times the blind. Put him on a good A based on his play so far, and go all in. Mucks AK face up (Like he should) I muck and say I had him, then change my mind and tell him he had me dominated.

Sitting at almost 30,000 now, and get to watch the two live players to my left get knocked out to a new player in seat four. New player is sitting at 80,000 after the hand, decidedeside at this point to leave him alone.

DOWN TO FOUR TABLES - 40 to go

Little Blind - fifth seat goes all in for 3000 - our seventh seat from above (sitting at almost 40,000) raises to 9000, I look down at AK off. No time but the present and I put all my chips in the pot - instant call. But not bad since he only has the two red 6's and the first all in has K J.

Make broadway and double up and get the chatter from the seventh seat. Remind him of the heart he caught to even still be here but all is fun in Love and Poker. Sitting at 60,000 now.

DOWN TO 27 and re-draw tables play around and slowly build

Bubble time at 19 still just building chips no real big hands but getting the blinds at least three every two rounds

DOWN TO 18 and re-draw have around 100,000 in chips.

Get to knock out a pro with K-J when he tried to steal my button with 6-8 suited, puts my stack at 120,000 as the field drops to 11 players.
I am the chip leader on my table with second stack two to my LEFT (100,000).

LITTLE BLIND
Second in chips doubles the blind all fold to me Look down at 10J of Clubs. CALL
BIG BLIND FOLDS HEADS UP

FLOP: 6C 2C Red A >> I check, raiser bets double the blind - Call
I do not read him for an A but put him on middle pair 88, 99, or 1010

TURN Q - figure I can buy this pot by representing I hit a Q - I go ALL IN
Insta Call and I get to see AA both black for his hold cards.

Looking at four kings and the remaining seven clubs>> 11 out of 44 >> 25%

K on the River to make me the chip leader DOWN TO ONE TABLE re-draw

Get the 10 seat and we go from 10 to 8 in two hands. Takes some time to go from 8 to 6, but we finally get to play some poker with the table not seeing a TURN for 60+ minutes and seeing less than 5 FLOPS during this time. After the hour of no real action lose three in three consective hands.

Button Raise - Seat 3 (without looking position only and table pattern) - Little Blind All in
Button lookds down @ 10 A of Dimond.
Little Blind QQ>> A on the Flop we are at 5

Same Button Raise Little Blind All in
Button Calls because of chip stack with 7-2 of spades Little Blind – JJ
Spade flush on the River we are at 4

FIRST to act (Short Stack Raises all in) Button for the third time thinks but does not push his luck
{Might had to do with the knocking over of the chips by the person has he put into the
Pot}

Little Blind Folds I look down at 5-5 and declare Call
Q-8 of hearts no improvement we are at 3

CHIP COUNT
CRAZY TOM: 390,000
To my left: 300,00
To my right: 150,00

Play a couple of rounds with all of us taking the blinds here and there.

MAN I LOVE PRO
Short stack button raises 25% of his stack
I look down @ 9-9 (declare all in)
Second stack gets up and walks around the table thinks for a real long time FOLDS
(find out latter Q-Q but the right play is a FOLD)
Short stack CALLS turns over 4-4
DOWN TO TWO
we make a deal - no reason to play against a player who correctly folds QQ with three to go.
