Arrived in Las Vegas on Thursday afternoon unpacked and had a quite night ahead of the 10 am $150 game at Caesars Friday morning.
Caesars $150 a guy opened for 25BB from and I shoved 29BB with JJ only for him to finally call with 55, he hit a 5 first card out to all but send me to the rail. I was well placed and instead of being chip lead hit the road.
Came 27th out of 230 at the Aria $240 for $426. 5 ×1$ Bloody Mary’s so for the day up $16 for 12 hrs poker…tough game…. $12K for first…
Played the 1 pm at the Golden Nugget. I never got going but didn’t do anything wrong then finally shoved 15BB with QQ into AK all in pre-flop. An ace on the turn sent me to the mail. I love the bar in the Nugget such a great fish tank…I’d love to have this in my lounge…one day perhaps…
Caesars $150 30th out of 52 runners horrible suckout on river when all in on the turn with 2 pair versus AQ on an ace high flop, ace on the river aghhh!!!
Fun table…how poker should be meeting new people with plenty of laughter and good banter. So now $450 down having played five tournaments cashing in one…2 awful bad beats in Caesars have skewed my results…add an extra 4 $1 Bloody Mary’s to my tab….going big tomorrow at Wynn..need a win at the Wynn…
$400 Aria $19K up top came 34th when it paid 21. Played my heart out shoved KJo which was correct according to SnapShove called by AK who left me with 3BB which went in with 740 I hit my 7 v K 10 but villain rivered the straight
Lost $400 at cash on last morning played from 9 am to 1 pm then checked out.
Got rivered for $330 when I shoved with a turned straight and got called by a flush draw. Played badly misplayed several hands but it was fun and I shouldn’t have dusted off the dollars.
Total down for trip $1,250
