Thanks to everyone for participating on this site and helping set my schedule!!!

Annual trip for our 16 inch softball team out of Park Ridge, IL. Arrived Sat. morn. just in time to make the Caesar's deep stack. There were 110 runners and I was not impressed with the blind structure. The starting chip count makes it looks like you have time, but when those antes increase you better play fast. Busted out in 32nd place after about 3 hours when my 99 ran up against AK.

Orleans - played in the 7pm touny. Great structure and $5K starting chips for $105 buyin. There were about 140 runners and I finished in 14th place after my set ran into a runner runner full house for a $30K pot...1st Ouch. Played a
$8/16 Limit game and was up $100 before it broke up. Went to a 1/2 NL game won a little more and called it a night (+175 total in cash games). The Friday night tourny here is the place to be, they said they over 200 runners. Aside from some smoke blowing over from the casino, I like this room and especially the tournys!!

Mirage - (I stayed here, nice room for the price) stay away from their 11pm tourny's, the rake is ridiculous!! I played late night/early morning 1/2 NL and won 2 out of 3 sessions for about $140. Loose players looking for action.

Bellagio - played 2 sessions of 2/5 NL cash games in the afternoon(s). Little room but Lots of Action!! Picked up $250 the first session and then lost a $1400+ pot the next day when some Old Foreign LUCK BOX chased his flush to the river and caught it with Q9s vs. my set...OUCH!!
Stuck around and recouped some back for a
(-$350) session.

Venetian - played in the 8pm tourny with 58 runners on Monday night. Great structure for the price! Made the final table and finished 5th for $430. Top 3 chopped for $1800 each right after someone ko'd me and another guy on 1 hand. The Venetian still has Kim dealing and she is the WORST!! I recommended 2 years ago they should fire her. She....again...had 2 misdeals out of the 1st 3 hands at my table. Good thing I was moved. Seriouisly, if a manager from the Venetian reads this you should term her. Other than that, I love the Venetian room and they run a Great Tourny.

I would have liked to play more tourny's and more rooms but I was sick and roughed out the time I did play. For those of you planning a trip, I hope this helps.
