If anyone still looking at this thread I though I would post a blatant brag

just spent a few days playing in Vegas, played 12 tournaments, 2 wins, 1 two way chop and a 2nd

also had this beauty in ther Golden Nugget

I'm assuming the flop was Q-5-10? That would be awesome, flopping the nut flush then watching it turn into the Royal on the river.

I take it you had a good time then?

Grandad · 17-07-2011, 19:25

Yes , thats how it played out, other bloke had 55 so that's how all money went in

That was my 5th Royal ( 2 live and 3 online ) , was nice to get it in a prestigeous place though

Had a great time thanks, next stop Atlantic City at end of August

Where do you play online now Grandad? I was FTP but now trying to find a decent replacement with a decent amount of rakeback.

Grandad · 25-07-2011, 20:58

Using Pokerstars at moment but so no rakeback as such, going to go over to the DTD online one shortly as their points scheme gives points that you can spend at the club so that suits me well

Nicely done, a nice present just before Christmas there

Grandad · 17-06-2012, 04:29

nothing serious but this humoured me

playing a game today with £100k prize money and it was reported by the poker press

I didn't cash but the report made me laugh

Gary Colclough - Rotty - is berating another player

"I'd love to know your thought process when you called on the flop?!"

Apparently he raised pre with AK, loved the flop of A 2 4, but clearly so did his opponent who called a chunky bet holding pocket threes, obviously forgetting an open ended draw needs to be able to hit at either end to qualify.

Fortune favours the brave, but fate loves the foolhardy and sure enough, he binks his five on the turn to catch his straight. Just to make matters worse, Rotty picks up trip aces on the river but manages to keep his loss to 31K in total.

Ten minutes later and I can still hear him asking why!
