Played at one of the local indian casinos tonight. Had a good nightmade two nut flushs and felt like I played both hands quite well. Hand 1 I limp with . Flop is 2 clubs Queen high . Big stack who has $400 bets out $20, calling station calls, short stack pushs all in for $32. I ask for a count, with the only reason being that I didnt want to call and have utg reraise because I know I am behind. It is less than a full bet so I call. Make the nuts on the turn and it checks around to me I check hoping to get action on the river. 4th club which I'm not realy happy with on river. UTG bets $30. I make it $90 he calls and shows . Dont ask me why he didnt raise. He was a horrible player so I dont think a limp raise was in his bag of tricks.

Hand 2 I get . I have $600, opponant has $500 or so. I limp, flop is . I check villain bets out $20. I call I am pretty sure I have the best hand. Turn is , I check he bets out $25. I call again. River is the . I am going to bet but he is playing with his chips which means he's going to bet. I check he bets $75. I push all in, he thinks about it for what seems like 5 min. Finally he calls and shows 65o, the flush card made his straight perfect money card for me.

Next hand. I limp with Aq flop is 874, checks around. turn is a Q. Same player from before has just rebought for $300. Bets out $10. I raise to $25. He pushs all in. This is where I am still not sure I like my play. I usally fold this 95% of the time, but I really thought this guys was on tilt and that he has KQ or QJ. He has Q7 and I dont improve and lose $300 of it back. I do like the fact that I trusted my read, in the past I have not trusted some of my reads and folded when I really belived I had the best hand. The on major mistake I made was not taking enough time, I called to quick. I still may have called but I really need to work on taking my time on big calls and giving myself time to replay the hand and make a good decision. This is something I have been working on for a while and need to improve.

Overal +$493 in 4.25 hrs, a pretty decent night.

Another good day for me at Viejas, I think this might turn into my new favorite place to play on weekends. I had a good run of cards but only one huge hand. When got there they had a 2/5 Nl game going which was rare. I was 4th on the 1/3 list so I watched for a while. One guy was raising and reraing with shit. The table was so juicy I could help myself. I bought $500. No huge hand to report, but I did catch a j on a flop against the morons raise and win a nice pot. The moron left soon after and the game broke. I made about $120 in that game.

Next was the 1/3 game. I did get a whole bunch of big pairs AA once, kk 3 times. Though those ended up being smallist pots, I only got one caller in all these pots. One monster hand vs the table idiot. This guy was really bad, he made a couple 17x bb raises with small unsuited A's, he won a coupld of pots from the weak tight player. Finally a big hand with me, I look down at in the BB. I have $400 villian has me covered. Villian raises to $15, I call, flop is 975 with one heard. Villian bets out $5. This has been his betting pattern he likes to make small flop bets and then large turn bets. So i just call. Turn is the money card offsuit 8. I check he bets out $80, I raise to $200. He calls. River pairs the board 8's. Not my best card but from the start I put this guy on A9 so I push all in. He calls and turns over 66 for the smaller straight and I double up. That really was the only really big hand I played.

Ok one more just for entertainment. Different Villian this time but just a bad a poker play. He likes to min raise, he min raises to $6. I call with from the button after 3 more people call. Flop is KK7. It checks to me I check, turn is the Q. Checks to me again and I check. Now I think I have the best hand, river is a 4. Villain bets out $25. 2nd player calls and it is to me on the button. I call. Villian had Q4 and says two pair, 2nd player mucks. I turn my hand over and say Jack plays. The dealer pushes me the pot, and the villian looks back at the hand very confused.

Another good overall day +$610 over 5.25 hrs

I'm leaving for Vegas in about 5 hrs, this time I was told there would be a data port in my room so I will post my daily results. I am going to try to play 40 hrs over the next 4 days. My goal for the trip is $1500.

Vegas so far has not been going as well as I had hoped. As of now down $500 in 16 hrs of play. I will write a full report when I get home. In 16hrs of poker I have yet to flop a set or see AA and I have only seen KK once. Has been a tough run, but I have two more days and I have been playing pretty well. I only played for 5 hrs today, I shouldnt have played as much as I did the week before. I started to feel burned out playing at MGM today, so I decided to take the rest of the day off. I will be back at it tommorrow. I'm going to see if I can play 20 hrs in the next two days before heading back to SD. I have been running pretty well so I guess a little bump in the road was expected. The games have been as soft as normal I just havent been able to make a hand.

I made the mistalke of thinking playing a tournament would be fun. I payed $65 to buy into the morning tourney at the MGM. I didnt win a hand. Busted out with 99 vs AK. I think I have to play a tournamnet just so I can remember why I hate tournaments. Bad players can win tournaments but you have to play well to win in the long run.

This game freakin hates me. I think I might have been a rapest or a murderer or both in a previous life. Today I am back in Vegas trying to make enough money to buy my new car. I left San Deigo at 5am to avoid driving when it was 100 plus degrees. I got to Vegas at 930. I couldnt check in til 3pm so I played the Bellagio 2/5 game and the fun begins.

Hand 1 I am the BB with 97o. It gets min raised Utg, 4 callers, I call. Flop is 447. It checks around. Turn is the being the 2nd spade. I bet out $30 get called by one player. on the river. I check he bets $30, I pay off his flush.

Hand 2: I raised to $20 on the button with 10;s. Flop is 632 rainbow. Only me and the CO, he checks, I bet out $30, he calls. Turn is another 6. He checks I bet out $80. He calls. River is a 4. He checks, I check, he has A5 for the wheel.

Hand 3. I am BB with K6o. Flop is K62 with 2 hearts, I check, moron bets $30, I check raise to $80. He calls, I put him on KJ or KQ, he has been a total calling station with any pair. Turn pairs the 2, O only have $90 or so left so I push all in. He calls and flips over A2.

Hand 4 This one is my favorite. I get AA UTG, I limp. Big stacks raises to $30, another player calls, I make it $130. Big stack pushs all in. I call. He has AK and the flop is KKq with 2 clubs, turn is another club and I have the , so I have outs. River is a brick. I lose a $650 pot.

Only "good" hand of the day. I get JJ in the BB, our friendly gutshot moron , raised from the SB, I call flop J74 with 2 spades. He bets out $30, I call. Turn is the . He checks, I bet out $40. He angrily says nice catch and shows me two red tens. Yeah sure what a catch, brick on the turn and he makes a big bet and I raise he is bad enough that he might lose a full stack with 1010 here.

This game is killing me lately, I have now push in with the nuts and lost 3 in a row and all for big stacks. I dont know how to win this game if I cant win with the nuts all in.
