My First Ever Tr

[TrueAce13 18]

Well alright, I have never wrote a TR and thought this would be alright time to go with it, so here we go!Thursday: Even though I wasn't in Las Vegas, I went up to my friend's and party. The trip started off bad b/c I got a speeding ticket like 15 minutes away from Columbus. 76 in a 60. Nice 130 out of my pocket. After that, the gf, me, and my friend go to the bars, start off with irish car bombs and get tanked. Get back to my friend's apartment at like 2:45 and got baked and passed out. Day: -$170Friday: So we get to the airport at about 1:15 for our flight at 2:40. Me, my g/f (Lauren), my brother (Mark), and his g/f (Niki) go to the bar in the airport and decide to do a shot. We said that b/c neither of us would be drinking tomorrow, we had to get our drinking on then. We leave Columbus on time and arrive to Atlanta for a nice 3 hour layover. This 3 hour layover gave us a chance to go to the bar and drink endlessly for 3 hours. When I got onto the play, I was pretty drunk. Me and my brother decide that we are going to play 2-7 TD for the bar tab on the plane. I destroy him and he is forced to pay the over 100 tap for all of us. I was the only person in my group that had never been to Las Vegas, so I moved into a window seat so I could actually see how the lights and everything was. Finally got to Vegas and was not sucked in by the slots at the airport and got to our bags. My brother booked all of this, and we got a rental car from the most hood car rental place ever. I seriously thought that the mexican mafia had jacked a car dealership and started renting these cars. Finally, after the people inspected the car that we were renting, we were off to the Rio to register for the event the next day. Got to the Rio and registered. After that, I went around to Amazon room and was amazed on how large the room actually was. Finally, we left and went to Binions, where we stayed so we could just go to sleep. Day: -$1,500 for Buyin, though even money for expensesSaturday: We woke up at like 9:30 and showered and went to breakfast at the cafe at Binions. The food was alright, and I just couldn't wait to get to the Rio. Got to the Rio at like 11:15 and walked around the place, got some water, and talked bullshit with people until the event started. I took my seat and started talking to the guys at my table.The tourny started off slow, I played 5 hands in the first 2 hours b/c I was just card dead. Ended at the break with about 5900. After the first break, I finally picked up my frist hand of QQ UTG +1. I raise to 400. A guy 2 seats over flats and everyone else folds. Flop comes out J T T, two hearts. I cbet for 650 and villain flats. The turn brought another J. I tank and think of hands he could have and finally check. He tanks after me and bets 1200. I start thinking and finally flat. I really think he has AK or Ian underpair. River is a 5. I check and plan to call almost any bet on the river. He checks and shows A8cc. I get up to 9200 at the second break. 45 minutes after the 2nd break I have about 9k in chips and just forgot how to play poker for one hand. 100/200/25 I raise from MP with AKo to 550. everyone folds to the SB who flats. Flop comes Qs Jh 4h. He checks and I check back. Turn: Kc. Villain checks, I bet 875, villain minraises. I realize that I have the toppest of pairs, and I don't know how to fold, so I flat. The river comes is the 5d and he bets 3k. I think, "well I still have AK. I have to call!", so I call off...ATss obv. Bringing my stack down to 3100. Our table breaks 3 hands later. My new table had people with a ton of chips. I don't think anyone at the table had less than 9k. My third hand at the table, would become my last hand. UTG +1 raises to 600. CO flats. SB flats. I'm in the BB with JJ and jam. UTG +1 folds and CO calls, while SB folds. CO has QQ obv. Flop comes: QT8. Turn: A. And I brick the river. GG me. After that, my brother was still in so I decided to drink and watch my brother. I down some beer, watched some of the mixed high low FT and the 1500 FT. I just walk around and watch. My brother makes it to day two and we leave the Rio at about 2. I am drunk and tired, so I go to sleep. Day: -30 bucks for beerSunday: My brother is pumped for day two obv and I was just wanting to see Las Vegas. So Me and Lauren go out and walk the strip and Mark and Niki went to the Rio. This was awesome b/c we would play at a slot for like 2 minutes, grab drink, and then leave and see something else. We went from the Belagio, to Luxor...tooo, god, almost everywhere on the strip. Lauren and I are pretty drunk and get a call from my brother saying he made it to the dinner break. So we decide to head over to the Rio and hit the rail. I talk some strat with him and grab beers in the process. Lauren cannot watch poker, she went to hit the slots with my money. She lost the money and headed back to the poker room. There were 54 people left at this point. So we made a drinking game on poker. When someone would make a raise, that was one drink. When there was a 3bet pot, that was 5 drinks. If there was an all in, that would be 7 drinks. If there was someone all in (besides the brother) Lauren would pick a player based on their hand and we would have to finish our beer if our guy lost. My brother got crippled down to 62k in chips after tanking for a minute and flatting with KQ on a board of AQ52T board. Guy rivered a set. Finally, the hand came where he got knocked out with 66<A8o. Finished 47th for 8800. We had decided before the tourny started we would get a percent of eachother and would figure it out when it finished. I got 800 out of this. We headed to the bar, had a few drinks and then went back to downtown. When getting there, Lauren was about to pass out walking b/c she was hammered and tired, so she went to the room. Me, Mark and Niki got a quick bite to eat and then we headed to the Golden Nugget to get drinking. We play some video poker and do some shots. I get hammered and by 5 am I can hardly walk and know that I should sleep. Day: +800 from brother, -50 in drinks and video poker (I was up 60)Monday: So I woke up motivated to play some poker and decided that I was going to play the Binion's classic $160 buyin. I get to my table and obviously there is no one who can really play. 5 minutes later, the vacant seat to directly to my left is sat at by ChanceW. We start talking about some poker and other stuff. He was a really cool guy. He said that he was just there to drink and have a good time, and obviously, we get involved in a big flip early. He had about 2400 left in chips after making a big fold for his stack. I raise from the button with TT, he reships and I call. he has AQ. Flop comes AQJ. Turn a 9. River. a K. I get busted about 2 hours later after getting crippled with 99<AQ and AQ. I then say go to play some cash and buy in for 200. I play for about 20 minutes before getting involved for my whole stack. I raise from the CO with JTss. SB (a total station) and the BB folds. Flop comes Th 7h 2c. He checks, I bet out 22, he flats. Turn brings the Jd. He bets 45 and I ship on him for the rest of my stack. He tanks and finally calls. River is a 2. He shows AJ and the chips are pushed my way. I get into a little argument with a guy sitting at my table a little later. He is sitting with like 1k in from of him. He has 500 in chips, 3 $100 bills, and 1 $100 chip. Well how the 100 chip was it was under a stack of red that he had and it was very hard to see. In one hand, he c/r'ed a guy and put that stack in (100 in reds and the 100 chip). The guy tanks (thinking he only has to call 100) but then found out it was 200 after he made the call. After that hand, I politely asked the guy if he could make the $100 chip more visible so people could see how much he is actually playing with. He flips out on me and goes, "what the **** is this kid doing saying that to me. He doesn't even nearly have me covered. ****ing punk. I should call the floor". This made me laugh and I told him to do it. He never did and then left about 2 hands later. I was kind of sad b/c I tilted him and thought he would pay me off lightly. The hand that made me even for the cash session was a guy UTG +1 raised to 13. 3 players before me flat, and I flat with 56cc. 6 people to the flop. It comes J56 rainbow. Checked to the guy 2 seats before me and he bets 40. another guy shoves for his 140 and I reshove for 300. Everyone else folds. Turn is a T. River brings another T. He has KJss. I cashed out looking to get hammered for my last nightLauren and I go to the Belagio and played a bit of video poker again. Got a greygoose and pineapple. Then, after that we went to the Paris and played more video poker and drank more. We left there and started trading the hooker cards that the people were snapping at us. We Continued our night of drinking and went to Mandalay Bay where Mark and Niki were at. We did some shots. And left there. Because my brother decided that he was going to stay and play in the 1500 event on Tuesday, Lauren and I had to stay awake and get to the airport at 5am b/c our flight left at 7. We got back to downtown and played 1 deck blackjack. That lasted a decent amount of time, but I had a big hand where I had 88. I obv split them, and then was given a 2 on one and then a 3 on the other. Obv, I had to double down on both. (dealer was showing 5). I hit 18 on one and 19 on the other. The dealer had a 6 under and obv hit a K to take that off of me. We then went to the Golden Nugget to do more shots and gamble more. After 2 more shots of captain we get drunk food and headed to the airport. The Taxi driver was seriously the most negative person ever. We were drunk and just were like "we had an awesome time drinking at the Luxor" and other things like that. He would then in the most negative voice and say like, "Vegas is dying and everyone is losing money" etc. etc. Day: -100 Blackjack. -50 in cabs/food. -40 in money for Lauren.Cliff Notes: Didn't make money from poker; not just because I suck, I never actually put in a good session after the WSOP. I wanted to enjoy Las Vegas by drinking and having fun with the people close to me. I wish I would have met some of the FCP/4bb people, but I plan to try to get out there sometime in the near future again! And thank god my brother did well b/c I made 300 after everything was said and done.Also would like to thank dna for running the satty and everyone else who was involved in it.

Nice trip report Trueace! Nice to have a good time and still profit. Are the drinks in Vegas no longer free while your playing? I'm going in August and planned on taking advantage of the free booze and getting wasted every night.

Good stuff. I think Vegas is the easiest place in the world to have fun.

The Taxi driver was seriously the most negative person ever. We were drunk and just were like "we had an awesome time drinking at the Luxor" and other things like that. He would then in the most negative voice and say like, "Vegas is dying and everyone is losing money" etc. etc.

Cabbies like this are so lame. I had one who was playing classical music and I asked him if there was anywhere in town to see an orchestra play, and he was like "Vegas has no culture" and a bunch of other crap. I told him I live here too and he's like "I'm sorry to hear that". When we got to the Palazzo the bellhop asked "anything in the trunk?" and I told him to just toss that douche in there. Snap!
