| Unfortunately not a lot to talk about, seems like the last day of my trips is always a ho-hum day...
|
| Breakfast w/ Leon at Bellagio, today was his getaway day.
|
| Started out at the noon tournament at the Wynn. Early on tried some aggressive moves that didn't work out. For example a guy was raising a lot preflop and continuation betting 100% of the time, I tried going over the top of him with nothing but a gutshot and he responded with an all-in. Oh well. I did double up once beating queens w/ A-10 but that was my highlight of the tournament. Ended up all-in w/ 6's against jacks and I was done.
|
| Did have a bit of a panic before the tournament. I'm walking into the Wynn and realize my wedding ring isn't on my finger. I NEVER take off my wedding ring. I check all my pockets, nothing. I'm sick to my stomach. During the break, tho, I stick my hand in my pocket again to pull out my droid and I feel the ring in the right pocket, which I would never stick my left hand into, wedged in between the droid and my iTouch. I have no idea how it got there but WHEW!
|
| Cody had come by and went into a cash game there, I didn't want to be a short stack there but he suggested Monte Carlo and we headed over. I had one of my few bright spots of the trip there.
|
| Had kings hold up once and queens twice for some nice sized pots and more than won my buyin for later that evening.
|
| Went to Caesar's to play in the 7pm but when I got there the poker room was almost empty so I headed over to Venetian for their 7pm. Very happy to find out they had over 120 when I signed up and I heard they cracked 140.
|
| First hand out of the gate I have K-10 spades, flop comes J-Q-10 w/ two spades. I bet and get one caller. Turn blank, bet call. River a deuce of spades, now I have 2nd nut flush. I bet, he raises, I go back over top for most of his stack and he calls w/ a worse flush.
|
| Alas that was the highlight of the tournament for me. Couldn't win a pot for a long time, gave most of the chips back but I did last a few hours. Eventually I got into all-in mode. I caught top pair w/ A-8 off on a flop of 8-4-5 and shoved in a good size pot and got called by, sitting down (?), A-2 off. 3 on the turn and I was done.
|
| Ugh.
|
| So that was it, lost a few bucks at the craps table and called it a night.
|
| As always thanks for reading. Next trip will probably be april. |
