Greetings from Paradise

[lambchopdc]

Sup? I'm sitting on my bed in the Atlantis resort using the wireless keyboard that was next to my TV to post this lol. So basically...i spent $10 to make this post and to view the Paradise Blog. The Atlantis is freakin awesome. We have a sweet view overlooking the whole resort. Anyhow, here are some Monday Updates:

Getting here:

Our flight from Cleveland to Atlanta was delayed over 30 minutes because of the weather in Atlanta (less than 500 ft. visibility). Fortunately we got to Atlanta in time to catch our flight here.

Sarah whined and cried like a little bitch. Threatened to leave me and walk home from Atlanta rather than get on the 2nd flight, and started over 10 fights with me during the flight over whether or not to keep the window open. Standard.

Bahamian cab drivers are out of their goddamn minds, i won't elaborate.

After we got here:

We arrived at the Atlantis at 4. Sarah was up all nite so she took a nap. I went to register for the tournment where they gave me a Paradise backpack, hate, water bottle, tshirt and a gay ass jacket that sarah likes for some reason. I then went and spent $7/pack on smokes since sarah left the damn carton i bought in the car in Cleveland. I then returned the room to wait for the Welcome party to start, and accidently fell asleep.

The welcome party started at 8 pm, I randomly woke up at 9:46 PM. The paper I had said that the food was from 8-10 but didn't list an end time. We got up, got ready and went down around 10:30, the place was deserted. Yay, so we now have A. no idea where bmxicle and Doggz are, and no idea if I have to play Day1A or Day1B. We then walk completely across the resort to where the tourney is being held and find the starting list. I'll be playing Day1B on wednesday. After getting some dinner we walked over the Riu where doggz and bmx are staying. Luckily I knew Doggz' last name and I was able to get ahold of him from the front desk. Doggz is playing day 1B and bmx is playing Day1A, i still haven't found bmx lol.

Anyhow, this place is awesome and even if I bust 1st day there is a ton of stuff to do. I'm gonna go have a smoke now and stare at the stingrays and sharks in the lagoon beneath my room now I'll post again tommorow, but you can follow everything on Paradise's site as well.

Guy minraised from early position frequently with any 2 unpaired broadway. Check/raising was very uncommon so I wasn't expecting anyone else to get in the pot. Was getting monster odds in position preflop and the perfect flop to bluff. Bad timing i guess, SOB instacalled without even hearing the chipcount. Oh well. On to SNGs, cash games, and the $500+40 on friday.

anyone bring a camera along?

[lambchopdc]

Played an hour of $2/$5 $500NL while the tourney was on dinner break, havem't been down there since so I have no idea how Doggz ended up. Last I knew he was at 20k at dinner with blinds going to 250/500/50. At the time I left the poker room around 8 pm, neither of us had heard anything from BMX since our drunken evening lasr nite.....i'll organize a search party tommorrow. Jordan Berkowitz is currently chip leader.....wtf??? I saw him earlier walking around in a gay ass Cowboys jersey...he was here with his mother who was riding around in the one those old people scooter you see on late nite commercials......thoughts?

[midas06]

Howd you do in the ring games?

Didn't see he had bet 2000 before lamb went allin.

[lambchopdc]

Just a note on the hand I busted on. His call was fine, it was the fact that he didn't wait for the count that surprised me. The way I had my chips stacked and the increments they were in he had no way of knowing the total. With my actual stack it was correct for him to call. I'm still happy about the play because my read of 2 unpaired broadways was dead on. If he doesn't have two clubs i'm almost a coinflip if he does call (and I would have won) and most likely he is laying down any other hand or suit here. The guy had a habit of talking about his hands with the guy next to him. With that information and the hands he showed down I was able to get a really solid read on him. The more and more i look back at it the better I feel about it (the pain of busting is wearing off as well).

I've only played an hour of 500NL so far in which I made $133 after paying the table fees. The way they are doing it is $7 fee from each player evcry 30 minutes and rake-free pots, which isn't that bad considering the field has a lot of very rich casino fish.

I just registered for the $540 FO they are having tommorrow at 1 PM. Max entrants is 100 and the staff guys tolf me the payout structure will pay top 10 and 1st will most likely be 20k-25k. I went and checked the list of players for today and I didn't see Doggz so I assume he busted late last nite.

More updates later.

"i go busto losing 5 straight hands doing the martingale system...stupid bitch dealer...." haha best quote ever hahahhaha

[lambchopdc]

Paradise ran a $500+40 100 entrant freeze out today. 2500 Starting chips and 30 minute blinds. I got knocked down to about 1500 chips a few hands in with a missed AK and flush draw. 30 minutes later I pushed allin with 77 over a raise, was called by AQs, and doubled when the flop came 972 rainbow. 2 hands later i called a raise from the same guy with JhTh. The flop came 7d 9c Qc. The raiser led out for half the pot, i called, and the 3rd player in the hand folded. The Turn was a Qs. He though for a few seconds, put his head down and checked. I instantly bet out half the pot. He thought forever until another player called clock on him. He used his whole minute and tossed his hand away. I'm almost positive he dumped KK or AA here, JJ at the worst.

Since then i've been surviving mostly without showdowns. We are currently on dinner break with 18 players left. The final table of 9 players pays out. 9th is $1500, 2nd is $9000 and 1st is $18000. I have 11,925 chips. The blinds are 400/800/100 and I believe the average stack is around 13.5k. I have not been dealt AA once since I got here so now would be a good time. I'll update you guys again later tonight.
