So Im in Vegas for 5 days. T-Rod is here with me but hes here on business so he wont be playing as much as me.

I started out in the afternoon at MGM. I played 4 hours and won $600. I posted a couple hands in the NL section already. Here are a couple others.

#1) I raise to $25 with QQ. Next guy just sat down with $100. Hes drunk and its his birthday. He min raises to $50. Mr Asian MGM dealer guy cold calls. He cold called a raise and reriase to $100 later with J2s. He can have anything. Asian guy also is short so I push. They both call.

Asian guy says "lets open em up". SO Me and birthday boy do, but then Asin guy doesnt. What a dueshbag. Birthday boy has 77.

Flop [7d][4h] . Asian guy says he has outs, but mucks when the board is dealt out,

#2) 2 weak limpers. One is a female MGM dealer. I raise to $25 with [Jh]. Asain guy calls behind me and the limpers call.

Pot $100ish. Flop [Ts][4h]. They check to me. I bet $80. The female dealer calls.

Pot $260. Turn . She checks. She has $220 behind. I played an eaier hand with her with this exact action and checked behind on a [4d][6h][Ts] board when I had raised [7d]. She led out on the river after I had checked the turn.....so I checked behind this time also.

Pot $260. River . She leads $100. I shove. Its only $120 to her but she folds.

#3) Bunch of limpers and I check [Jd] in the BB.
Pot $25. Flop [8c][3h]. I check. Its checks to MP who bets $10. 1 caller. I call then one more call.

Pot $55. Turn . I thought about leading but decide to check raise depending on the action. So it gets checked to the better again and he bets $15. 1 call.

I check raise to $95. That should take it down. It folds to the better and he calls. Next guy folds his obvious draw.

Pot $245. River is the . The guy says "I'll check it down if you want". I say "I'll bet you will" and I make a marginal $100 value bet. Thinking back, I hate the bet. He calls with [Ah]. DIdnt put him on that!

#4) 2 weak limpers again and I raise to $30 with [Qc]. Again...Asian guy and both callers call.

Pot $125. Flop [6d][4c]. Checked to me and I check. Asian guy checks behind me.

Pot $125. Turn . Female dealer leads $35. 1 fold, I call and asian guy calls.
Pot $240. River . It gets checked down. I thought about making a value bet here but wasnt sure. I flip my hand and take it down. Dont know what they had.

In the evening T-Rod and I went down to the Planet Hollywood room and their biggest NL game was 1/2 so we left. He only had about 2 hours to play and it was like 7PM so we went to MGM. The game sucked beyond belief. A full table of solid players. Ive never seen that there before. We played for just over an hour and left. I lost $140.

We were beat from getting up at 2AM Vegas time so we called it a night and went back to the room. Today (Fri) I will play late into the night hopefully.

1st day....5 1/2 hours...+$460

had the sickest table in history last night at the wynn. I played till 8am but I don't think you'd be comfortable with how big the stakes got. 3 drunk pros just constantly betting in the hundreds. I couldn't hit a hand... but wow what a table.

Hey... I can't get your phone to go thru... call me or text me after Murder She Wrote...

Paulee,

Im not sure what day you mean by "today". Ill was at MGM all day Friday and will probably play there during the day on Sat and then I think Im going to meet Kenny at TI Sat night.

Yesterday (Friday) was all about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. When I sat down in the morning there were 4 stacks over $3000. It was action city. A few hours later I had $2000 in front of me. Later, the table was super weak and I couldve run over it if I couldve just gotten any hands. I just never hit anything and the hands I did hit back fired on me. I left up $16

First the good.

#1) 5 limpers and I have [8h] in the BB.

Pot $30. Flop [8c][8d]. I check and it checks around.
Turn . I bet $20. A very good LAG calls. Next guy makes it $60. I reraise to $160. LAG folds and the other guy calls.
River is some brick and I shove $300ish in. He calls. He had an 8.

#2) I raise $20 UTG with [Kh]. I get 4 callers.

Pot $100. Flop [Th][4h]. The table is very aggressive. Someone is going to bet so I check. It checks around.

Turn . Someone has to have an ace. I bet $60. I get 1 caller.
River . I bet $150 an someone calls me and mucks.

#3) I raise to $25 with [Jh]. The SB calls and then the BB shoves all in for $125. This is his 2nd hand at the table. The first hand he lost the other $375 he started with. Hes an obvious 2+2er and is a donk. If I flat call, the SB is going to call me and we are both deep so I reraise another $100 and the SB folds A9.

Dealers deals the board out....the highest card was a T and there were 2 of them. It was something like T837T. I tell the guy "I think you win" and I flip my cards up. He mucks.

#4) I raise to $20 UTG with [Kc]. 3 callers.

Pot $80. Flop [Ks][2c]. I bet $60. 1 call.
Pot $200. Turn . I think he has the flush draw so I check. He checks behind.
Pot $200. River . I bet $200. He calls me with 22

#5) Couple limpers and I limp 88. 2+2 donk who thinks hes a good LAG raises to $35. 1 call and then I call.

Pot $120. Flop [8d][9c]. EP leads $95. I call. 2+2er calls.
Pot $405. Turn . Now EP moron checks his last $45. 2+2er is very aggressive and might bet, but I actually put him on T9 so I bet $270. He folded and EP calls his last $45. He had A6.

#6) Theres a straddle. I raise to $30 with [3s] in the cutoff. BB and the straddler call.

Pot $100ish. Flop [Qd][4d]. They check and I bet $100. BB calls.
Pot $300. Turn . He checks and I shove. He had about $300 left.
River . He had [Td] and I got saved by the river.

OK...the bad....

#1) UTG (the guy with 22 earlier on the AK2 flop) limps. LP raises to $20. I call in the BB with [Td]. Im now sitting with $2000 and cover the table. UTG calls also.

Pot $60. Flop [6d][7d]. I check, UTG checks, Cutoff bets $40. I check raise to $140. UTG cold calls me and cutoff folds.

Pot $380. Turn is a brick. UTG has $300 left so I push. He has [7d] %&*#(%*&#(&^ DH**R(

#2) Very next hand. I have [8s] in the SB and complete after a couple limpers.

Pot $25. Flop [9s][8h]. I bet $20. MP calls and then button raises to $70. I call and now MP shoves all in. Button folds and its $220 to me. The guy literally just sat down. Im getting 2-1 on the call and do call. He has QJ and I miss everything. -$800 in back to back hands.

#3) I raise to $25 with [Qh]. 2 calls.

Pot $65. Flop [Ts][5d]. I bet $50 and get 1 call.
Pot $165. Turn UGH. I check and he checks behind.
Pot $165. River is a brick. I check. He thinks and shoves $300 all in. I seriously consider calling. The guy is pretty tight though. I expose my cards to get his reaction and I get nothing. I muck and he shows the and later says he had the nut flush.

#4) Guy raises to $15. Its folded to me in the BB and I have KK. He has like $100 left so I put him in. He calls with A3s and hits an ace.

#5) I limp AT after another limper.

Pot $20. Flop T62. I bet $20 and get called.
Turn 8. I bet $40 and the guy shoves. Its $100 to me. I call and he has T8.

#6) 5 limpers and I decide not to raise AQ in the BB.
Pot $30. Flop is AT5. I bet $25 and get called twice.
Pot $105. Turn 8. I bet $75. 1 fold and then the next guy min raises me to $150. I fold in disgust and the dueshbag shows A7. ^@*(@%(^@&*()*%&

#7) Same dueshbag from hand #6 raises to $15 in the cutoff. I flat call with QQ in the SB to trap him. The BB also calls.

Pot $45. Flop [Td][7h]. I lead $45. BB calls. and raiser folds.
Pot $135. Turn . I check, He bets $75 and I call.
Pot $285. River . I actually think Im ahead here so I make a $100 value / blocking bet. He calls with [7d]. I think this is the only hand I misplayed all day. WHY DIDNT I RERAISE PREFLOP? ^#$*^$)(*Q^$^&(*&$%*(.

I played 15 hours and won $16. VEry depressing after being up $1500 after a few hours.

Total....20 hours...+$475

I did get to play with Kenny for a bit. He was up maybe $200 or so when I had to leave at about 3AM. He looked ferocious at the table.

He also paid me the $100 he owed me for the NBA MVP prop bet we had.

Planet Hollywood is about 90% remodeled and everything is open. The poker room is tiny and doesnt have anything over $1/2 NL.

I forgot to mention that the dueshbag than min raise me on the turn with A7 gave T-Rod all his (and formerly my) money on this hand.

DB (dueshbag) raises to $15 in position. T-Rod reraises to $50 in the BB. This is the 2nd time T-Rod did this to him.

The guy calls. Last time he called the reraise and folded the flop.

Pot $110 or so. Flop Q66. The guy open shoves $420 all in...and out of turn. T-Rod hasnt acted yet. There is confusion since he acted out of turn, but T-Rod obviously calls with his AA. DB had 44 and leaves. T-Rod doesnt offer me a rebate on the money DB took from me.

Looks like I missed you guys last night. I played the 2/5 at mgm all night last night and 1/2 at paris tonight.
Hit a high hand jackpot in the only hand I played at 3/6 limit while I was waiting for a NL game. Good times. Good luck all!
