Vegas Day 1

We got here, we are in Vegas and it feels great to be back. We landed and we had our Limo driver waiting for us with our names on a paper like we see in the movies so that was pretty sharp to come to. I was all excited until the doors open and it was freezing. It feels worse then Ottawa.

So we get here and decide to have a some food and start it off with a little tourney at PH for 60$ with about 35 peoples in it. This is when i start running like God.

My chips have been up and down, we are down to about 14 and i have 10BBs and in the BB. UTG limps for 400, middle position limps and SB limps and i check with 4d 3d(no antes). Sometimes i might wanna push but they are calling anything, if they limp, they get it all in preflop with like any2 cards. Flop comes 4s 4h 8s. Now this is an awesome flop for me and its checked around. Turn, i check again and UTG bets 1000, lady pushes all in for 2800 and i can't fold my hand, so i get it in. Lady shows Ah Qc for nothing, and UTG shows Ks 4c. River 3h BINK.

This is where i started running bad. HAHAHA

No big hands, FT, top 7 get money, 8 left, SB completes, and i have like 8 BBs and check with 10 4o.(I know i should push but with no antes, not worth as much) Flop 10 9 2 rainbow, he bets 3000 and i shove for 13 000 more. He calls with 10 7. I bust


We decide to play cash game at Bellagio, some 2-5NL. My table is really tight and not much is happening. I get into a couple small pots, win some small pots and i'm controlling the size of the pots. I just have a fun bust out hand when i sorta play like a retard.

I was about even until this hand. I limp middle position with 7h 5h and a couple more limpers behind, BB makes it 30 total. I call thinking others will call but they all fold. Flop comes Kh 10s 9d. He comes out and bets 45$. I know he could be C-betting so i decide to float with nothing really, but i really like that board to float because he can't really put me on any drawing hand. Turn brinds 6d. Now i have gut shot. He thinks for abit and decides to bet 90$. Now I think that he doesn't dislike his hand, but i don't think he's that strong and if i shove here, he has to give me credit for a big hand because theres no draw, and if i did have 7 8, i would have hit. So i shove my last 225$ in(he has the same amount of chips). Pot is around 550$ range so he's getting 2 to 1.(he has been playing for a while and seems like a player that can fold hands.) He tanks forever and finaly calls, river blank ... GG me. Oh, he shows As Kd.

I WILL NOT MAKE PLAYS IN CASH GAMES, I WILL NOT MAKE PLAYS IN CASH GAMES, I WILL NOT MAKE PLAYS IN CASH GAMES.


We went back to the room for food and 20 min nap and head to Ceasers for 120$ tourney. The tourney is nuts. We start with 80 BB's and the first 6 hands of the tourney someone gets all in pretty much preflop on the flop. The pots are almost always 3- 4 way all ins. We busted like 7 players on our table in the first hour. The tourney had about 50 players. I pretty much didn't play any hands and as i was getting re raised and shoved on everytime i raised with AQ, 10 10. The thing about people shoving is that they showed AA, AK, KK, QQ like all the time.

I get down to 2200 in chips and its 100 - 200 with 25 ante. UTG + 2 limps, next player limps, next limps, and i look down at Qs 10s. I might be able to steal over 1000 in chips if they fold, and if i get called, i like my hand to gamble. I shove and everyone folds until last limper who calls with Qd Jd ... WTF ... Flop is majical, 10h 8s 6s, turn 9s, river brick. I stay pretty even, stealing some blinds. Level is now 200 - 400 with 50 ante, folded around to button who limps and i loop at Qc 7c and complete, BB checks. Flop Qh Jd 5s. I bet 1000, button calls. Now i got about 3800 left and turn is Qd, I check to let him try to bluff me and it works perfect, he shoves, i snap call. He shows As 10c for gutter ball. You guessed it, K on river. GG me

Then i got smashed with Lacasse at Paris. So i'm down 700$ range after day one. Not too worried.
