Decided to commit 2 of my normal 1/3 buyins for a single buyin shot at 2/5. So I bought in for $400, and worked it up to $700 when some asian lady sits down. She buys in for the max, $1000, and within 3 hands me and her get it allin preflop, AA vs A5s. Obviously she hits a flush, allin preflop for $700. The typical asian ramblings of "gamble gamble" ensue. It was a pretty crushing defeat since I was nervous playing a new limit anyway, so I just had to quit for the day.
Didnt get any sleep last night after the A/C was making annoying noises every hour, so I didnt get up till 2pm and missed my opportunity to rent a car and travel some. Instead I explored more of the strip on foot, and to be honest, got quite a bad taste in my mouth from it. Just so many degens, homeless people, beggars, weird crackheads approaching you making a scene, etc. I just hate all that shit. At least get a job handing out those stupid porno cards that all these random folks are doing, at least they're fucking trying to do something that constitutes work. But just sitting there on your ass taking handouts? GTFO. I gave $5 to some horribly deformed man with no arms, because there is nothing he can every do to be productive. He got dealt a shitty hand in life and thats not his fault. I dont expect him to work or achieve anything, and he needs all the help he can get. But 90% of the bums in vegas think they're being cute with the "all I want is beer" signs they are holding up. That shit was funny the first time some guy did it in 1995.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to need to see some of the softer side of vegas after all that, since it was so disgustingly vile that I'm not sure I would actually want to travel through it every day as part of my "poker career" just to get to the casino. In fact it was so bad, I dont even want to leave the City Center premises again, which is basically a small 5 building sect of vegas constituting the Aria and some shops. They've done a pretty good job of being able to maintain your entire vacation within this one small area, and I feel like I wont be venturing out beyond its borders anymore lol.
Someone asked earlier about the quality of the PLO games at the Aria, and I'm pretty sure it got answered, but I made sure to check myself tonight. There was 1 game of 2/5 PLO running and that was it. Over the weekend I think I saw maybe 3 tables of 2/5 PLO and 1 table of 5/10 PLO. There are also some random "interest" lists for people trying to start 10/20 PLO but it only had like 4 people on it. Looks like the Aria is definitely not for PLO.

dont let losses get to you and change the way you see things, you might play live poker but that dsnt mean u have to think and behave as live players.

Yeah my greatest strength in live poker is tilt control and stop losses. Because I'm surrounded by real people I cant rage at them, and thus my head stays clear since I have to just get back to the game. This is especially helpful when you're actually at a social table and everyone is having fun. It also keeps me from auto-topping up, so I can effectively quit without losing multiple buyins either all at once, or spread out over a session. Those have always been my two biggest problems online. It's too easy to keep reloading, and too easy to tilt and start clicking buttons. |
