Bought in for $200, cashed out $1200. I still find myself playing fancy on occasion, but have toned it down to the levels I mentioned earlier meaning isolating limpers and button raising, plus the occasional raise when someone donkbets me or check-raising a dry flop when someone bets weak like 1/3 pot or less. No more squeezing or playing back at anyone who raised. Im not sure if it's really all that profitable, but I just do it because it seems like the right thing to do. Interestingly enough, the few times I did it I royally sucked out and hit some bullshit hands, but it didnt matter because villains ended up folding 150BB pots when I shoved the river. I dont know what to make of this. They call and call and call and then somehow find a way to fold on the river, making all my fancy play irrelevant since I never saw a showdown.
So tomorrow (or today depending on your timezone) I'm going to rent a car and just cruise around vegas. Wh00sel mapped out a nice route to get a feel for the avg vegas neighborhood, so I want to see what the landscape is like here and if I can see myself living in it. Obviously vegas is a blast, and I've had such an emotional rush being here I stopped even taking pictures because pictures just cant do it justice. You have to see it for yourself to understand.
Walked through the bellagio and ceasars palace, what a dump. The bellagio is alright, although clearly dated compared to a brand new establishment like the Aria. Saw Doyle Brunson in Bobby's room just waiting for action. Ivey's room was full but I couldnt recognize anyone playing there, besides some asian american I've seen on TV.
Now that I know how casino's work, I must have ordered about 30-40 mixed drinks lol. I made sure to tip the waitresses $2 each time for tending to me nicely. Got my first meal at the table comp'd, so that was a nice surprise. I havent bothered checking my comp status so I have no idea where I stand, but supposedly they'll just knock the rest off my final bill when I go to check out. Have 3 more full days here. Plan to spend the morning/afternoon sight seeing and the late afternoon/evenings grinding.
Man I would love nothing more than to just fuck my job and never come back home. Just find a longterm hotel rental at the Aria until I get settled, or get an apt if they'll lease me with no job and never look back. This just really feels like my calling, the life for me. It feels so right. Going back to my miserable job fixing computers just feels depressing as all fuck. I have no intention to move up limits, but if I somehow ended up finishing +10k here in vegas, I would have no reason to return home after adding in my savings/poker earnings. It's just too fun out here. Hell, at this point I'd take a job making $15/hour and supplement the rest playing poker and be proud to live in vegas, until I go full time playing poker that is.
Anyway im exhausted, time to get some rest.

I just checked on Bravo poker and it says there is currently a 25/50 PLO game running at the RIO. I'm sure that game plays insanely huge. |
