If you like wine, AOC on Third (not Third Street in Santa Monica). Great date spot, get reservations though.

Go to the Getty Museum in the morning/early afternoon. Bring a picnic, or eat at the...

What are your interests? What "scene" are you into, if any? Los Angeles has a little bit of everything, but it's kind of hard to make recommendations without a little more background; the culture can...

Re: Trip Report 9/10 to 9/16 Wynn, Bellagio etc.

Does 10/20 08 run consistently at Wynn? I play almost exclusively limit hold'em in LA, so I like to splash around in Omaha as a "vacation game" when I'm in Vegas.

Re: Quitting my crap job to grind 2/5+ live??

Will this (negatively) impact your ability to get into grad school?

If not, this seems like the best time in your life to pursue such a goal. The downside is pretty minimal.

Re: Suggestions for Vegas Mid-stakes?

Bellagio 15/30 is most likely to be a good game IMO, but you could get there and be stuck on a two-hour wait list. You could also get seated right away...but don't be surprised if you're waiting.

Re: Mid-limit games in Las Vegas

I think the Mirage is an underrated option. In my experience, they usually have at least one 10-20 and one 20-40 going, and the games are generally pretty decent. They're less likely to be crazy in...

What could villain possibly have here that beats you? Did the 9 help him? If not, is he really not check-raising the turn?
