Solo poker trip, 4/19-4/21, first attempt at a trip report

On the list for 1-3 again at Aria. Next up. I'll keep my options open if it's lame however.

First hand back at it. I'm in the big blind with AK. Utg raises. One valet. I bump to 45. He goes all in. I call. He has AJss and I won. Woo.

The Old Fashioned and the steak look great!
Nice TR so far and thank you for taking the time to write it and share pics live.
Best of luck with poker this trip!

Slowly losing money. It's a good table, but nothing happening. Sitting with 260.

Poker is dumb sometimes. 😀

I get AA in sb. There's a raise to 15 early, no callers. I bump to 45. Raiser calls and I announce 50 dark. Flop comes AJJ and he goes all in. I call. He had AK and I am now up a little.

Long night with a few too many drinks and other things. Calling it down $29 after 6hours 47 minutes of play.

Nice TR so far, keep it up! Thank you!

Up way too early and considering jumping back into a game. I wandered around Aria trying to find a Jacks or Better game with a reasonable pay table, but the best I could find is 9/5?

Also amazed at people playing triple green roulette when there's double green right next to it.

Kind of like how A&W went busto trying to sell a 1/3 pound burger cheaper than McDonald’s quarter pounder with cheese, because they thought 1/3 was less than 1/4

Dusted off $500 when I had KQdd flush draw vs A3dd with a flush draw on flop. We both missed but ace high stacked me.

Rebuy!

I get KK first to act. Make it 15. One caller than a suspect player makes it 45. I probably misplay by just calling here.

Flop is slow and safe. Check and check to raider. He bets something like 125 with maybe 250 back. I raise all in. He calls and run out is good and I win.

Back up to about $870. Fighting back.

Keep up the run good and good play. Dinner looked great -- I hope that steak was medium rare to rare 😉

Absolutely medium rare. I definitely judged the guy next to me who ordered his steak medium.

Flop a set of sixes in a 3 way raised pot. Dangerous board with a possible straight made plus a flush draw. Boat up on the river and shove. Guy with 100% VPIP thinks forever and finally calls. Woo! Up over $1500 now

100% VPIP guy got stacked and left to get more money. The table is now significantly less exciting while we all wait to see if he comes back.

I think I'm going to try Javier's here at the Aria tonight. Anyone eat there recently?

Loving the TR! Gogogo! Getting me fired up for my WSOP trip (17-28 JUN; firing Senior & Super Senior...geezer poker...woo hoo!)

Yes Javiers is amazing, I go there several times a week.

Just left Aria too btw, you were probably at the newly opened table? I was at the overnight game in the far corner.

Nice TR!

Table became bad, and I'm feeling the effects of only 4 hours of sleep. Cashed out plus $427. Going to try to take a nap.

Forgot to post that before I went back to my room. I rested and considering where to play next. Maybe Aria again a bit before dinner.

And we are playing again!

What table? Just sat down too.

ruh roh!

24 seat 1. In the corner near Posh Burger.

I was up about $250 shortly after I sat down. Sadly a string of not good raises and not much hands has me back to my starting $500 stack.
