Last official Vegas vocation for me, Moving there in 3 weeks. This trip was primarily for closing the deal on my new house but, I had to hit the tables.

Landed in Vegas at noon, did what I always do upon entering Vegas play 5$ in the terminal slots, which, I haven't won anything since my 21st birthday trip the slot rewarded me 500$ many trips ago. Hop into the limo get dropped off at the Venetian (all time favorite hotel) Checked into my comped suite (Lol, took them for 3 grand last trip on the BJ tables) at this point im loving VIP treatment I like taking money from Vegas the only thing is they didn't get any of it back this trip cause I got lucky once playing BJ there and I suck at it so the only time I play now is single deck and DBL deck BJ tables.

Day one:
Well, it was now 2pm there (Used to east coast time of 5pm) and feeling kinda hungry so decide to get something quick to eat before playing some poker stopped at noodle Asia I think it was called good food decent price. Hit the tables in the Venetian at around 3 played some 2/5 NL holdem bought it for $500 table max was $1000. Nothing really going on so I got seated quick, my table was fairly loose and short handed 1 local, 3 complete fish and a online hotshot + me. Was pretty much card dead the 1st hour stole a pot here and there was up a little more then my original buy in about 100$. I get dealt AQ suited in the SB, limpers all around gets to me I raised to 20$, BB fish calls and table folds to Internet hotshot who raises to 40. I called after a minute and BB called as well. Flop comes A K 10 rainbow, Hotshot bets 50$ I called figuring, I am not feeling to aggressive today for some reason, BB calls also. 4th comes J completing the rainbow, hot shot checks, I raises 100$ bb calls and so does hotshot 5th comes complete blank. Internet guy goes all in for the remaining 300 in chips he has, I think for a second knowing the worst that could happen is a chop being I have the nut st8 and theres no chance for full house or flush called it, BB raises to put me all in which is another $160 called it of course. Internet guy had a set of A, BB had the set of K and I of course win with my straight and take the pot which was $1650 give or take both mutter to themselves rebuy for the max of 1000$. I made a wise a$$ comment like "Why dont you give me half those chips and ill leave because I dont wanna take all your money again" the BB blind call me a Donk and shakes his head. Now I dont know how I was donk but, ok. Next hour was horrible for me didn't get many hands to play and when I did they started playing stupid so i figure Id sit back for primo hands but, that took forever so i played a 79 club VERY loose UTG raise of 50 by me called by every one at the table flop comes 8c 4d 5d I bet 100$ folds around to my 2 ATM's who just call 4th comes 6c I bet 400$ internet hotshot folds but, BB guy goes "you dont got me this time I guarantee" and calls 5th comes 4c, I bet out another 400$ he raises all in for 600$ total I call a bit worried here being he could have a high flush but, NOPE he had a set of 4's ,lol, and im the donkey!! Well that's a $2700+ pot! after that hand I had to leave before my luck ran out + the fact im UP $3500 in 3 hours of play, Tipped out the Dealer and head to see my stripper friends ,which, work with me in Florida and are touring the vegas stripclub scene, hang out with them at Sapphire for about 4 hours lol, drink after drink round after round finaly decide its time to leave and being there shift ends in 30 minutes they come along with me (Did i mention how stripper friends are great?) Well, get back to the Venetian have diner with my lady friends getting stairs from all angles and couldn't figure why but, then it hit me DUH! lol...Went up to the room to "sleep" and I get this genius idea and figure I'd put this "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" thing to the taste i mean test. Well, I wont go into detail bout my Idea but, 1 young guy and 3 young women in a suite with one king bed hmmmmmmmmmmmm. u figure it out MAN DO I LOVE VEGAS!

Day 2
Hardly any poker but, a fun filled day! Wake up at 7am after 4 hours of sleep due to unforeseen activity which robbed my normal 8 hours rest, I have to get up and meet with the realtors and mortgage brokers ,well, 5 hours and 100 signatures later im back in my hotel to find the girls in my bed still sleeping! well, i wake there cute little butts up out the liquor induced coma because they have to be at work in an hour, 3 girls 1 shower anit gonna cut it they get ready take em to the club and out of nowhere I have 2 bouncers and a manager barking up my tree on how I left with entertainers and how I got them fired for this I try to reason with them but, these bone heads dont listen I turn around grab the girls out the club and try to leave but, no the idiot doorman had to trip me and make my head bounce off the car, I figure ok, you want to play rough lets go i myself am 6' about 300lbs and am also a bouncer in adult clubs we get into a good ol' fashion rumble in the back parking lot no given my left eye is closed up from the nasty bump Im getting my ass handed to me until I give some chin music and wind up breaken my hand cops show up watch the video and it show them start the assault on me ask if i want to press charges i say no and leave Now 2 o'clock bloody, brusied and beaten I go to the hospital after nearly fainting had to get 13 stitches in the forehead and they had to cut the the bruise over my eye so i can see out of it. Now, 5 o'clock get back to the hotel take a shower, nap and change play some 1/2 poker was felted in 3 hands after AK didn't hold up against 23o and KK didn't hold up against JJ. Now down $200 for the day but, Rebuy for another 200$ get dealt A 10s first hand (not many people like this hand but, its my favorite) on the button no action to me I raise to 15$, Sb calls BB raises to 50$ UTG + 2 calls, I call a little confused as does SB. Flop hit me hard A K 10. SB checks, BB plops in another 50$, UTG + 2 folds, I call as does SB. 4th street J SB check, BB bets 100$, I called the all in (not realizing the J) so does SB, 5th ST comes A, SB leads out with a side pot bet of 150 raised by BB 300 SB calls Cards get flipped revealing my A/10 boat take down the main pot of $600 cant believe how lucky I just got both had nut St8. Now I got my money back and up 200$ I left the table ,which, is not something i normaly do after taking a big pot but, my head was ponding again

Day 3:
Woke up after nearly a 12 hour nap, girls came up to visit me to make sure i was still alive, we headed down to the bellagio for some Breakfeast, they went to work and it was time for me to head over to TI play in another 2/5 game all stiff locals. Great game ive played in awhile, hardly any donk moves, every one had about $800 in there stacks. The cards were great to me for 2 hours straight made some solid hands was up only 300 though because like I said very tight table almost felt like playing limit. 2 of the guys left and income 2 younger players who were very good solid players was dealt the rockets in the small bind folds around to seat 4 who raises 20 every body folds to me I call BB checks. Flop is J A 2 checks all around the table 4th comes out 2 4 raises 50$ I re raise to 150$ BB folds the original raiser calls 5th st is a another 2 he puts me all in for 500$ I call even though i was worried about quads but, i figured I havent seen to many hands of his and up overall a ton so loosing 500$ wasn't a big deal. Well, was playing a AJ but, my fullhouse beat his took another big pot my third in 3 days (bout 1400$) was up 900$. A couple hands later I lost 350 when my K high flush ran into an A high flush, pretty much garbage hands for awhile taking turn stealing blinds and small pots stack is 1100$ which is second highest on the table other stacks are between 500$ - 900$. Get dealt 23o decide to play them since nobody raised the blinds everybody calls BB flop gave me a straight 4 A 5 bet 300$ 2 callers 4th was a 6 checked all around 5th comes another 4 Bet in 400$ both call flip our hands seat 5 had a set of 4's me and seat 6 had the same hand so we chopped the $2250 pot stuck around for another few minutes and the long islands started to kick in and my head was throbbing was up another $1200 or so, so I retired to the restaurant, finished diner decided to get a room at TI for a quick nap phone rings from front desk and apparently a female security stopped my friends from entering the hotel elevators thinking there "pros" I mean come on 3 young blonds with fake assets and tacky make up at 1am I had to come down in my robe and boxers to pick them up lol...Get back to the room get dressed the calls coax me into going clubbing so we end up at ceasers palace at there club pure I believe place was pretty packed so I opted for the VIP area where I had to spend 400$ on a 60$ bottle of grey goose...this is where the it becomes a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Day 4:
Woke up Very hung over, very confused didn't remember anything form the night before just know my pockets are a grand lighter and along with my 3 girls are 2 random broads that I have no Idea who they are. Well, got dressed did what i gotta do and hit the up tables, actually started my day at Binions I played a NL 1/2 for a few hours was up and down no real hands to discuss cashed up 100 more then my buy in tossed the dealer 30 buck headed over to the el cortez played some single and double deck black (Getting pretty good counting down the deck) up about 200 in an hour or cash out, tipped the dealer 40 bucks. got something eat cant remember where though lol the previous night really screwed me up pretty good, Finally made it back to the strip where a caught a 4/8 PL Omaha game now, i love me some omaha so the temptations was irrestable plus it was my first time in the Wynn so i gave it shot bought in for 800$ which was way short stacked at this table only player under 900$ very first hand was 9c10c8h5h decent connecters and being dbl suited made me play em so though a bet the pot which was 12 , reraised to 24 in next seat, then again reraised to 50 got called all around flop came 9h 10h 9s (at this point im figuring i can not be this lucky for the whole trip and im playing pretty poor) bet the pot again of $450 3 calls BB, SB and Last to act seat. Turn was a Jh bet out 200$ all called river was a 2h. beat out my remaing 100$ of course called cards flip BB has AK high flush, SB has Q high flush, seat 1 has a A high straight I flip my boat take down my forth monster pot in as many days. A few hands later i ran into Quads against my set and lost about 300$ and then ran into a bigger boat and lost about 400$ still up 2900.00 i decide to leave after 4 hours of play because my luck is starting to dwindle. Make it back the Venetian for play NL 2/5 again nothing spectacular got felted a couple hands in re-buy up and down for the next hour in a half catch cards play to aggressive and wind up costing myself money. Got up to where I was only down 300$ at the table and just left had a drink at the bar freshened up went to my buddies home game which was kinda wasting my time for one there play is horrid and Im not a huge fan of stud I anit great but not bad compared to these guys though i feel like a world class multi bracelet winner feel asleep on his couch. Head back to hotel at 3am to find the girls worried sick not knowing where i was, lol... I crashed still wearing my sunglasses

Day 5
WOW, this is long! Knowing I will be leaving the following day I figure i'll take it easy during the day so Im well rested for Saturday night at the playboy club with the girls, planned on going out with a bang (no pun intended) Played most of the the day at Binions 1/2 NL not really winning but, not losing either. mostly up and down for 4 hours cant catch anything and when I do i get muscled out pre flop, I just gave up for the day headed back to the hotel but seen they were starting registration on some sort of tourny (cant remember the casino) starting in an hour so i figured why not for 150 bucks ill do it being i have still 5 hours to kill. Well i get seated touny field around 90 people if id have to guess top 9 paid. was pretty good structure so it wasn't a crap shot early on for chips actually played out nice. I am not a very good tourny player but, I am playing more of them as of late. first couple hands were complete garbage wouldn't even play them for free! about the 20th hand in I get deal 97s call a preflop raise of 50 only caller figure why not. Flop is 9 2 5 rainbow, I check he bets 50 again I raised him to kinda see I was at but he pushed all in I figure at this point ill call with my top pair what could he have ,well, I called he turned his set of 2's kinda had a feeling for a set but, o well. The turn is a 6 complete the rainbow and seeing how my weeks been i knew what card was next before the card was flipped bang rivered and 8 completing my straight. I sucked out big time and he was not happy oh well that poker what could you do, he wants to be a sore loser and disrespect me calling me obscene names I just smiled and blurted "Enjoy your time on the rail." Now that im pretty healthy table chip leader flied is still pretty deep at 80 so that's means nothing this early steal a couple blinds here again with complete garbage get dealt 33 in the BB no preflop raise so i just check flop is 9 J K doesn't help me any what so ever but, is a pretty scary board, again no bets so I plop a 60$ bet in there half the table folds about 5 call ok, now im think that didn't help so..... the Turn is a 10 which makes even more scarier again no bets so i fire 100$ this time 2 folds 3 calls now im thinking hard river is a 3 now somebody other then me is starting the action he raised 150$ im folds to me, im thinking what could he have with a board like that and such weak play I wanted to push but, was afraid of getting trapped so i doubled his bet to 300$ he called before my chips were in, im thinking ok donked one big deal but NOPE he had a pair of 3's with an A kicker, lol....im like are you serious again with the name calling i induced the action from the beginning what's that saying i probably have something? Well about 90 minutes pass 15 players remain I have the 5th largest stack so I am selective on my hands i play took about an hour to knock off the 6 players before in the money. No at the final table im guaranteed double my buy in really short stacked a go all in with A 10 preflop get one call he has pocket 10's flop no help for me 3 6 7 rainbow 4th brought the Ace but, 5th brought the 10. I was out and had to get ready for tonight but, that didn't work out so well, I just could function i feel asleep and was dead to the world nothing could have woke me up.
