Vegas Update

Played the $330 Bellagio Tuesday. This is now the low end of my buyin and i found it difficult at times to put the proper effort in. Saying that i did focus in spells folding junk for the first hour before getting a nice card rush soon after. Had been playing quite tight but when i moved tables i had just started the white russians and i went for an aggressive stance immediately. It worked and i got my stack up nicely but then i picked up a genuine hand and lost. QQ vs 99 preflop at 200/400 25 ante, pot would have took me to 40k which would have been chipleader with 1/6 of the chips in play and 13 players left, matey rivered a straight though. I still had 15k left and ended up bubbling in 6th after being short stack for ages which didnt bother me as 5th was only my $500 anyway.

Got very very drunk the rest of the day, reckon 12-15 white russians in the end. Played 30/60 omaha hi lo limit which was fun (lost $100) but the omaha PL game is just not running this week :( Meanwhile my mate Dean "manicme" managed a 16 hour session on 1/2 in the same seat, what an addict now after never playing live cash before.

Wednesday was a recovery day, pool and went chili's for food which i can highly recommend. I did play a few hours live hi lo omaha again and ran awful for $1000 loss but it was fun still.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday i managed a couple of hours online and profits were steady for a change at £3,250 and £5,150 respectively so ive almost recovered my initial big loss at the start of the week. Prob due another downswing :(

Today we plan little or no live poker and lots of booze when we walk through lots of casinos.
