Vegas

So we are back from our road trip to Vegas. It went well, the drive was long but was fun. Spent a lot of family time Going all over Vegas . We also watched the Blue Man Group which was great and very entertaining and interactive . One thing if you ever do go to Vegas be sure not to leave out Old Vegas Freemont st. Every Friday night they have like two or three live bands playing and every hour they have a tribute to a band on the Worlds largest LED screen . The Doors tribute was playing when we were there , way cool.

So as far as poker went , Well
1st session Won  $92.00 $1-3 Nl Rio
2nd             lost   $400.00 $1-2 NL MGM
3rd            Won  $45.00 $1-2 NL MGM
4th              Won $52.00 $3-6 Limit Circus Circus
5th             lost    $300.00 $1-2 NL MGM
6th             Won  $55.00  $1-2 NL South Point
--------------------------------------------------
Total was a loss of $454.00  Wawawawa
Just had a couple hands in big pots where I might have been able to lay down but was getting like 3to 1 and basically it ends up being 2 1/4 Buyins down for the trip.

The temp was usually around 110-112 deg FH ,almost every day which was nice when Playing in the Pool or Lazy river but if you got out and sat in the lounge chairs after 5-10 minutes your completely dry and ready to go back in the water. Seen a Dancing Drunkiin Santa Claus , A dancing guy dressed up in a bikini and high heels , a guy dressed up as Gene Simmons of Kiss about 8' tall lots of Elvis's and other crazy stuff lol . Always very entertaining at Freemont st and the Strip in Vegas. So did lots of things, spent lots of money and had a great time , wish I did better at the live games and wish I could have played more sessions , next time there's always next time .

The Road To Vegas

So we are on the road to go Vegas .We have stopped to visit family in California for a few days then will we be headed to Vegas for a week stay . I thought it was going to be two weeks but wife says no, She never told me that lol yea ok lol . But it is good to visit with family that we have not seen in a few years. I will be trying my luck at the cash tables at the Wsop , I have around $1,000.00 that I won online I will be using so will try my luck at $1-$2 Tables . I think I will just take two buyins with me each time so that way if I lose them I will have to stop . My plan is to have a buyin on the table and one in my pocket so I can keep my stack topped off .

We have driven about 12 1/2 hours to stop and visit family . From here it will be about another 8 hour road trip to Vegas.

And we will be staying at the Tahiti Village just about a 1/4 mile south of the welcome to Vegas sign

And theres a Lazy River which I usually just hang there and keep floating around in circles lol.

Anyway, I will let you guys know if I win a little or lose the $1,000.000 there .But it's just fun to walk Around and see all the Poker Tables and pro Players at the Rio. It's been 2 years since We were down here Can't wait to get sun burned ouchhhhhhhh lol. Take care thanks for reading. Chris

Oh by the way Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there..

"Tourneys" Is that my game ???

LOL , so Merge put a new 6.0 Version out that I think is god awful . I think it started Tuesday and Merge was down for most the day then Weds for hours it was down then ugh Glitch after glitch . I wonder if they even did a beta testing with some poker players, If so they didn't do a very good job with it.The lobby looks so Generic now and I could just rant on and on but I wont . Anyway Merge put on A $10,000 Gurantee tourney Sunday today for anyone who had made at least one VIP point in the last 14days to show there Thank you  . There was 6,751 players that joined and me. I was working on our Suv have to change the transfer case and u joints, ugh I hate vehicles . Anyway my friend calls me and says why are you sitting out your not playing? I said oh forgot I had registered for it . So went inside for a break I attempted to play Loose agg crazy poker to get knocked out so I could go back to work on the car. Lol ,But one of the chip leaders at my table was mad at me . He was calling me a donk when I 3bet allin on him with k10o from the Blinds and he calls with A6o And I spike 1010 on flop . Ugh hold on? who called my  all in with that Ace rag hand and he calls me a donk lol. Then I just said screw it, gonna play now . So how did I do? I cashed and got deep but not Deep enough to win the $1,460.90 feels good  to get  as far as I did.

Only $7.00 but 160th place out of 6,751 other players not too shabby. Just wish I coulda doubled up one more time then I would have had a good chance to the Final Table. Next time, theres always Next time. Cash games last week was very few hands played because I didn't trust the site when it kept lagging out . I am sure in a week or two it should be dialed in again . Thanks for reading Chris

The Good The Bad The Ugly

LOl , So It's June I worked two 12 hour shifts two days straight . So June 1st I woke up played and lost $160.00 . June 2nd woke up and lost $200.00 . Playing when your tired and unfocused can make you play poorly and call down light too much also at 50nl it goes fast hehe. June 3rd  around a little after midnight I was refreshed and won back $56.00 then went to bed because I knew I had to be up in time to play the $109.00 ticket I won for the Sunday $150,000.00 Guarantee . I really did't have a good feeling of winning anything since I had just cashed for $80.00 in a MTT tourney I just played a week or two ago .They say you will usually get in the money about every 18 MTT tourneys even great players. So I got up registered for it and we ended up with 1,115 players paid 117 places or better . So Where did I place? Did I get in the money? Am I that lucky?
          Well

             Even a Blind Squirrel Finds a nut once in awhile.
So I came in 23rd out of 1,115 players for a win of $975.00 weeeeeeeeee . Wish I could have held on a little longer to  take the win for $28,000.00 but oh well I'm happy with my results. So From A bad start to Back in Black there you have it . The Good The Bad The Ugly , "And now you know the rest of the story". Good luck this month . Chris
