Mild degen trip report

Mild degen trip report

Mixed games galore. Landed on 3 hours sleep, just busted at the Orleans OE tournament despite being starting stack for … more or less the entire tournament. Maybe came in 50th out of 226.?


It got worse


Eventually got in in with 3 wheel cards, made a 7 low heads up, lost to 6543A while making 7643A, and he had a king to out kick me

Or something

The waitress who served me half a case of miller lite came over and said “what happened?”

“What do you mean what happened I ****ing lost”

(Not in those exact words)

“It’s ok honey I’ll get you another beer”

So … we’re probably playing the MGM PLO.l black chip bounty tomorrow

I was the guy wearing all the penguins gear single-handedly pumping the stock of TAP tonight

Let’s go

What’s on the menu

If we bust out early go to circa and watch Skenes strike people out and the NBA finals (which I don’t give a **** about but it’s an event)

Let’s catch some cards tomorrow

qlkurhgt. we're wrappiung it up fior the nbight

-600

i didnt drive, my friend picked me up in the turo he rented, deciding to pick up a convertible when it;s 110 degrees out

oh great the top is down i can feel the wind

the wind *is still hot*

so he picks me up a slice of pizza, i walk back into the aria munching on it like a homeless person, get to my room, raid the aria mini bar gummi bears, and here we are

tomorrow we are going to pick up some PLO black chip bounties, go to topgolf and hit the **** out of some balls, and .. idk. last time i left it up to this group we ended up in some weird local bars where it could have gone very wrong. anyway

positive thoughts

ok though realistically were probably -615 now after the gummi bears


Ok. We’re up, well rested and sober. Decided to do the Golden Nugget $400 noon triple stud event today instead of the PLO @ MGM. Despite getting no cards and maybe scooping 2 pots, we hung around and battled for a long time. Hope we catch some better cards and make some wheels today.


10 entrants so far lol


Also 2 people asking me for spare change/a dollar right outside the ballroom/tournament area

Gotta love the nugget

Not going great. First cycle of games is done and we’ve won … 0 hands. Down to 21.1k

So … whenever this wants to turn around would be great


Gogogogo!!


We finally win a hand, hand 35. lol

Turning around. Made broadway in 7 stud, but may have missed a bet on the river. 4 players in the hand, one with a paired board, who also looks like he was going for a flush draw. One other clear flush draw hanging around.

If I bet, I don’t feel worse is going to call me, especially showing AQJT with no Ks out. Guy next to me said he would have called with aces up. don’t know.

Turning it around nicely, first break sitting with about 55k. Took like 4 of the 8 stud hi hands that orbit.

67k stack at the second break. Took until level 8 to win my first hand of razz.

Was down to 15k right before dinner break. At 73k now. Won the last 3 razz hands in a row.

Started A24 vs another shortish stack, he ended up all in for around 18k before we got to 4th street. I ended up with AKQQ422 which beat his QQ55xxx he ended up with. Go figure.

127k and finally figuring out razz a little


Stud is easy, all you have to do is catch well!


20 left. Top 10 get paid.

Down to 16 - sitting over 200k. Lets go go go


Take it down!!!


Stud8, started 357, caught a 6, then nothing else. Ended with 2 pair that were no good. At 170k, 14 left, 158k average stack.


We’re in the money

Started J44 in stud, caught a 3rd 4. Don’t improve, lose to trip 7s the guy said he also caught on 4th street. Brutal hand, -100k or so.

At these levels, you can only lose two hands in a row. So … we need to win the next one as we are maybe half of the average stack now.


Just wait for your spot, you got this

You’ll know it when it comes up


Didn’t get it and just blinded off. Busto in 7th.

Made a tired mistake when I picked up 345 in stud high, thought it was stud hi lo and fired right in with a complete. Ace raised, I got a 9, and probably made a bad fold as I was so low but there was another low stack I was hoping to outlast and ladder up a spot.

Lot of poker played for $600 profit.

Well done on the cash! Subbing.


Dinner plans so skipping the stud8 event at golden nugget sadly.

Playing some cash at planet Hollywood before the 1pm tournament that should finish before dinner at Delmonico.

A guy at the table just rolled a d20 in an all-in situation to decide if he should call or fold. So .. this should be fun

Planet Hollywood is a really nice room now. Highly recommended.

1/3 NL, straddle on for 6, button makes it 25, I fold in the small blind. Straddle jams for 120 or so, flips over 69o. Wins vs buttons QQ

Straddler: “I thought your raise to 25’was weak”

ok then
