Day 1

So I bust out of Memphis for a 4 day jaunt to Vegas. Flight arrives on time and I'm at Bill's checking in by noon on Wednesday. My room is ready I drop my bag and head over to Planet Hollywood for a little 1/2. They have moved their poker from a nice, convenient place to this roped off area in the middle of the casino. Awful. They say they are moving to a permanent home but I won’t be playing there until there move. On top of that, I lose about $500 in a few hours.
So, I head back to my room and clean up a bit and head out to try Harrah’s. I really like the room because it is closed off and you can’t smell the smoke. I sat next to LVM for a couple of hours. The action, though, was less than to be desired. I'm an action player so I stirred up the pot a little bit with straddles and so on. Eventually we got some money in the pots. I don’t really remember any particular hands just that I would raise, get 4 callers, bet or raise the flop with nothing and everyone folds. I made about $600 in the session and at least half was off c-bets or raises.
I now head over to Caesars for some 2/5 action. I find a good table with a few rocks and few loose players. I’m up about $500 when a guy allows 2 limpers in front of him and two behind when I find JJ on the button. I make it $35 and he raises to $135. Many of the people I play with at my local casino will make this play with 88, 99, TT, AK or AQs. However, I severely overplay my JJ and raise all in. He snap calls with AA and lose about $350 on that hand. Oh well. So I end up getting a couple of bad beats and lose $700 at Caesars. By this point it is 2am and I decide to hit Flamingo...good choice. Lots of drunks and tired folk and win about $800 here for a total profit of $100 for day 1.

Day 2

I head to Caesars at like 9:30 and there is not one cash game going. Unreal. So I head next door to Mirage and find one 1/2 game going. I wait about 15 minutes and they start up a new game. I buy in for the max $300 and two hands in I double up when I catch flop a boat with 33 on a 663 board. From then on I totally run the table with raises and reraises and win about $700 during the afternoon session. I had a sandwich from the Carnegie Deli that 4 people could have eaten...it was huge!
I then went over to Venetian and it was packed. The Deep Stack tourneys were running and tons of cash games were flowing. I jump in a 2/5 game and go to work. There was plenty of action so I was right at home. One hand stands out: I have AKc and raise to $25 and get the BB to call. Flop is K-10-rag. He checks, I check. turn is a rag he bets $40 and I raise to $100 straight. He thinks and calls. River is a rag and he checks. I bet another $100 and he calls showing 10-8. I win with AK and he said the check on the flop got me the call. Either way...thanks dude. I leave there up a few hundo head to Harrah’s. The action is decent and pick up another few hundo there. My late night session is at Flamingo again. I've got about $450 when the big gamble of the week happens. We have 8 limpers in a 1/2 game and I have A4h. Flop is 6h3h2s. Small blind bets $20, I call and dude who has like $1500 goes all in. Massive over bet but he protecting two pair or a set...but it doesn’t matter what he has because I am drawing. Everyone folds to me and I tell the guy I’m thinking of gambling with him. I say, “I don’t know if because it is 5am or imp up $1200 for the trip so far or what but I feel like a gamble." He says he'll gladly take the pot or take the gamble, either way has cool with it. So I call. Heart on the turn and no pair the board on the river and I win a $1000 pot. The dude was cool and said nice hand. A little while later I bail and up over $1600 for the trip.

Day 3

I head to MGM after a couple of hours at Bally’s. And I think I am definitely dumber for having played at Bally’s with those retards. It was like playing cards with my brother's kids. I love the MGM 2/5 game and have always done well there. While I’m waiting for a seat, I'm in a 1/2 game. Within a few minutes I’m up a couple hundred when the following hand happens. I have already raised a few pots and it looks like I’ve been stealing. So I get TT and raise to $20. The small blind is agitated that I am raising and reraises me to $100. I instantly put him on AK but simply call because I don’t want stack off $450 on a race. Flop is 8 high and he insta-shoves all in for $200+. I tell him I can beat AK and call. He turns of AK and doesn’t hit and I sweep a good pot. I’m up $500 in 15 minutes playing 1/2 and then my seat opens for 2/5. I take it. A little later on that is when the hand of the night happens. There are big stacks and people using them at this game. I limp for a $10 straddle with 77. The straddler likes to raise it and bet it no matter what. So has raises it to $60 and I call. Flop is 663 and he bets $120. My best poker trait is reading people and put him on complete air, so I call. Turn is an 8 and shoves all in for $350. He is trying to carry on a conversation with the guy next to him to appear confident. I call BS and call his all in. He drops his head and turns over 44. LMAO. I sweep a good pot and he leaves to another table. I then pick my spots really well and cash out with 4 racks of red.

All in all, a good solid trip with profits right at 3K. I even got to eat some Panda Express...we don’t have that out east. I'll be back in a few months. Thanks for reading.
