Vegas Trip Report...

[nutzbuster 7]

Long Drive.BMW's are the best highway cars eva.Kingman suks (except the Silver Spoon dump diner on old route 66. Amazing old school breakfast.).MGM Signature one bedroom condo is one of the best/nicest places I have ever stayed at.Firefly never disappoints.Noodle Asia can officially SMD. 3 times there now and NO HAR GOW. That's like going to Starbucks at and having them say "sorry, no coffee today". Seriously, wtf?1-2 NL is officially the new "Any two will do donktard 3-6 limit". Trip Kings cracked by 10-3 off, trip 5's cracked by 6-2 off. All raised 4x pre flop. GG 1K.Never go to Vegas for things non poker and try to squeeze in quick little sessions.Wynn/Encore is back to officially being the standard to beat in Vegas imo. Phucking Phenominal properties.Got dragged to Carrot Top again by those who have never been. Still laughed. Oh yeah, at that show by dumb luck, met, sat next to, talked to and was actually impressed with....No, I'm not kidding. Super cool chick, and taller than I expected.Long drive back.

You raised 4x at a live 1/2 game and expected people to fold? Come on now.

lol. Of course not. It is simply the worst poker eva next to 3-6 limit. And I ran very bad.

Holly Madison. I watch Dancing With the Stars with my wife and Holly is on this season. She comes off as dumber than a box of rocks but I'm thinking it's just an act or editing. Maybe.Incredibly beautiful girl.

Yeah, after playing it almost every day the past month, my strategy has changed quite a bit. You can't really play it like you would a normal game. I stopped raising preflop almost completely. There just isn't much point to waste the money preflop.

How did that happen? Just wondering if it was runner runner donktard or if the flop was something like KQJ turn K river 9 or if it was KK9 on the flop and just an awesome runner runner for donky mcdonkerson.

Nope. I raise Kings to 12 pre (did this every time I played a good hand regardless if it was a position A-10 suited or better to a limped pot, or any pair 8's or better).4 callers (maybe 5, whateva)Flop 10-3-K. Bet 3/4 pot, he min raises. I say ALL EEEEN. he calls and shows 10-3. lmaoTurn 3.... river 3 for quadzilla . Standard beat when I am running bad. Worst one was at the Luxor.pocket 5's. raise to 12. 2 callers.flop is 3-4-5. Raise reraise, blah blah, all in.seat 1 has 6-2 off, seat 2 at least had 6-7 suited. woot.I loved that they we ALWAYS getting it in horribly bad and behind. It was a dream come true....but I never ever ever ever ever ever held. I played one night dead tired for 30 minutes and won over $300 at a 2-5 game, but it all disappeared at the 1-2 over the next 3 days. (note: the newly married nephew wanted to play with me and had little to no roll, that's why we were playing 1-2. He actually WON. Good for him)

Seems counter intuitive but this is a winning strategy at the 1/2 live tables where you get 5 callers to a 5BB preflop raise. Limp in more often with premiums, wait for someone to raise it up, then hammer the pot. If nobody raises preflop, be prepared to release your big starting hands on the flop. Oh, and play fewer hands than you might at a tighter table.

Yeah there was a ton of that going on. I just can't believe it is profitable long term.

Yep, that's basically the gist of it. But the amount of hands I play depends on the aggressiveness. If I can limp in with anything suited/connected, I do... (Anything with potential that is, not like a suited Q rag or something.) If people are raising more preflop, I will pick and choose when to get in there. Definitely involves a lot of folding postflop. Just wait till you know you have them crushed, then get the money in there, and if there is a few donkeys at the table, you'll get paid off big.

The last 2 times I have gone to vegas I did'nt even play a single hand let alone gamble on anything. I really enjoyed it too, I basically gamble every day so when I'm on vacation I don't want to be doing "work".Good TR sorry for the beats Nutz.
