Well, kind of. This is a public forum so I'm going to focus on poker only, sorry nothing salacious.

Didn't actually play more than an hour and a half of poker because frankly there are more interesting things to do in Vegas, but I found it fun. I stayed at the Bellagio and sat in at 2/5 on Sunday night. There was one guy who I could have sworn I recognized from blog pics or something, so if you're out there I was the brown-haired guy in the 7 seat with the vineyard vines sweater on playing from like 8:00-9:45.

The table was lol-amazing. Completely unlike anything I've ever seen online. Within the first orbit, there was a hand that goes as follows that personified the table:

EP limp
EP raise to $25
MP call
CO shove for $900

"Pro" snickers derisively

EP fold
EP fold
MP fold
CO shows aces and says "you'll have to pay to crack them"

Basically everyone limped pre and overvalued top pair hands post. If you showed any aggression preflop they let you rep aces no matter how many times you did it. I iso'ed maybe 15% of hands (a lot for FR) and took down EVERY SINGLE ONE with a either a cbet or preflop.

Some interesting hands that show you what a live fish I am:

I check my bb with QTss (best hand I had at that point, but had just iso'e twice before and was oop against stations).

Flop: AsKs4s

I check, bet of $15 from a crazy asian, call, fold, I raise to $50, asian calls, other folds.

Turn: 8c

My hands now visibly shaking (I was terrified I had misread my hand, but did not want to give it away by checking it again) I bet $120. He calls.

River 8s

Balls, I shove $280 more to try and get called by Js, but he folds what I imagine to be Ad5d or something. I show the Ts to try and pretend I was semibluffing the first two streets and overvaluing my hand on the last. Given that I had to be told to put a chip on my hand, was shaking, and was being very talkative before the hand I figured I could rep fishy well. With how the "pro's" played I wouldn't mind the image.

Here's another lol-I'm-a-livefish hand:

tourist limps, and I go to count out $30 to iso qith Q9o, but put $10 in front of me first. The dealer announces "10" and I say fml inside. I get 3 calls total (including two "pros"

, and see a JJ4r flop. I say to myself, wow, this is exactly how a fish would play aces, and so I figure any sizing greater than halfpot folds everything from the pro's that isn't a J or greater and lots from the fish too. I do, and everyone folds, the "pros" smiling knowing that they made a sick laydown.

Here's a hand I think I may have screwed up:

Old nit opens for $25 UTG (had been limping a bit), folds to me OTB, I flat with JJ (he has 225, I have 600, blinds cover both). I flat because I figured I should 3bet very polarized (QQ+, AK, trash) given how straightforward people play. Crazy asian in the blinds calls. T94r flop, asian checks, nit bets 40, I call, asian folds. Blank turn, he shoves quickly and I fold. It just felt like he had an overpair trying to protect, especially because he was so seemingly nitty, but I feel dirty.

Also I played to the right of Hal Lubarsky, the blind guy. It was very weird to deal with a helper describing the action.

Ended up $280 or so, obv ran good, but I feel like those games are absurdly soft. GL everyone, and thanks again for all the vegas advice in the previous post!
