June Low-Content Thread

[HOWMANY]

Maybe Vegas June 17-July 1. Maybe longer depending on when UCSD summer classes start and I can most easily build a class into my poker schedule.

I've won 15 live sessions in a row.

Vegas 6/15-6/17 for me.

[Nate tha\\\' Great]

6/20 ($3K limit) - 6/24. PM me if you want to grab beers as based on my previous history I'm sure I'll bust out of the tourney in no time at all.

Notes from Vegas -

Chairs in the Bellagio poker room seem only to go sideways. When I first sat in them I'm banging all over the place, wondering wtf. I apologize to a young guy on my left. He smiles and says "No problem, it's just that I don't have any shoes on". I look down and his sandals are under the table. Funny.

As always, I tell my wife to page ST at the desk when we're meeting. The a-hole at the low limit desk in the entrance won't do it. Keeps telling her a bunch of guys will raise their hands. He wants a full name. Finally she asks is he going to do it or not and he does. The room is maybe half full. I'm the only guy who raises his hand.

With all the headaches floor people have to deal with, why create your own? Lady asks you to page ST, just fckn page ST. OK? If that doesn't work, you did your best.

Other thing is, when a man tells his wife what to do and she does it, he doesn't need another man giving her a hard time about it. Make it easy for the wife to do as instructed.

Ski and Boba were good. Dave Neif needs to stop whispering into the fckn mike when calling names. I was sitting right behind him in a 2-5 game, got passed over and crossed off the 5-10 list because I couldn't hear him. Guy's like a church mouse at a rock concert.

Out of all the big names I saw, I could have sworn I saw Tuan Lee. Can't be sure though because he was about 4' tall. Looked like a lost kid on a field trip.

I was just leaving for dinner and saw Schnieds getting seated for 5-10NL game at another table. Looks just like his picture. I introduced myself and shook hands for 2 sec's. Nice guy.

Saw a fat guy with curly hair and a lot of chips playing 30-60. That's how mikel. always describe's himself. I was playing in a good 5-10NL and kept going over to ch out the game. Didn't appear good enough to leave mine for. Later I'm having a quick bite with my wife in Snacks when that guy walks in. As we're leaving I ask him if his name is Mike. His eyes open wide like a deer in the head lights and says no. LOL.

Ch'd out the rooms at Ceasar's, Mirage and Venetian. They were all dead but the 2-5 at the Venetian was playing deep. Never made it to the Wynn.

Strangest thing about Vegas was I had no appetite. Whether it was the heat or the air, I only ate twice a day. Hated the water. Don't know if I could ever get used to it. Funny thing is I thought the Fiji water tasted like the local water. Tasted different than the Fiji at the Borgata. Interesting.

Almost forgot. Ate at some great places. Le Cirque was overpriced stupid, but that's ok once in a while. Couldn't believe what they pulled though. My wife and I always have drinks, app's and entree's but rarely eat dessert. So we ask for the ch. As we're waiting they put out a small dish of sweets. I'm looking over our bill days later when checking out and see they charged us $8 for it. How fcked up is Le Cirque that they have to force feed you $8 worth of sweets on a $325 bill for two with the tip?

All in all, great place to visit but............

I forgot to complain about my Friday session so I will now. I got stuck like 3 racks playing 40 I don't even know how in about 2 hours. 3 racks isn't a big deal but when you've been winning hand over fist the past few weeks you begin to forget that it's possible to win less than every single chip on the table and sometimes you even leave with less dollars than you began. I think I won the first pot I played by turning a gutshot with AQ vs Danny's AK on a KT9 flop and then lost every single pot after that. I manage to somehow claw my way back to up a little bit by about 11pm and I stay that way until about 4am. By 5:30 I am walking away somehow stuck 3300 in a 5 handed game with 3 rabid animals and Sandeeb who I don't think is good but is probably a winning player in most lineups. It's not a lot of dollars or a lot of bets but it was pretty surprising because the 5 handed game was super passive but everyone kept flopping pairs and the few I flopped fell to something stronger or someone hitting their draw like every time, and when I'm isolating someone or raising the button constantly and keep making second best it usually doesn't end well. I guess that actually doesn't make it too surprising.

I also just realized that the only two straight flushes I have made playing live I made on the same day at the same table. I've also folded a decent amount of hands that would have made straight flushes and weirdly enough I have folded deuces three times that they would have made quads but never any other pair that I can recall.

16 is my record.

[andyfox]

I made 'em twice on Saturday. Unfortunately, I had already folded, both times.

[cowboy billy]

lol, I'm on a 300BB downswing, pulled an allnighter on friday after playing all day, got 4-outered, 2-outered, 4-outered, runner-runnered and 1-outered between 7am and 8.30am, put my fist thru my desk, failed, but succeeded in still not being able to move it properly

slept for about 3 hrs, logged back in, played some sh NL, lost some more and decided I should prolly take a little break

now I'm feeling happy again and looking forward to some live poker, ready to cash in on some sklansky dollaaaars

K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]I busted out if 1500 LHE right b4 2nd break. Lol, I can usually make further than that in NL. Hand that shows how bad people are at LHE and why they would get the idea to plunk down 1500 in to play in a 900+ field for 3 days.

I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG, 1 unknown coldcalls, everyone else folds.

Flop:

A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet, he calls.

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet he calls

river: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet, he tanks for a sec sighs and calls. I table my hand and he immediately perks up and tables JJ.

lol... are these jokers gonna be on tv?
