Arrived mid afternoon for 3 night trip... Check in @Wynn using casino marketing special rate which included 75 in free slot play and 129/ngt rate... Turned 75 free play into 200 bucks 2 $1 slot.. Up 200... Played a few hands of BJ and won another 90 while waiting for Wynn for 1/3 NL... Up 290.. Played 1/3 for several hours. Big stack on left had over 1k so I tried to stay out of his way... Won a few hands ( aa / KK / ) with raises and continuation bet, then just folated along card dead for awhile.. the table saw me as very tight so I won a few hands in position with some continuation bets.... One big hand was A/3 in big blind.... one min raise and seven callers... Flow comes k93.. checked around on flop.. Next card is 3. I check in position, one 9 bet and one caller, i min raise to 18 and get one caller.. River is 3.. I bet 30 and get a caller... Nice pot... Next hand is AK.. in sb... several limpers, I bump it to 15 and get 2 callers.. Flop comes 2 7 9... I lead out for 25 and they muck.... I rack my chips a little later up 180 for poker session.... up 470 in 4 hours.. I head for the Venetian 8pm tourny (125+50)rebuy... I made the mistake of not realizing there was a $5 dealer add on for 1k chips that had to be purchased before 1st hand.. I play pretty tight and see somehorrable play.. I make a few raises with 99 and tt and get no callers... Get AQ with 3X big blind and get two callers.. Flop K 63.. I take it down with continuation bet... Pocket JJ in big blind... 2 Calls and a button raise to 250 ( blinds 50/100)..I bump it to 700 and all fold... 45 out of hundred left and I get QQ... UTB raises to 1200 (2/4 blinds)... I call... Flop comes 8 4 3.. He checks ( Im positive he has A/K or A/Q/ or A/J for his previpus play).. He checks and I push for 5k hoping he goes away.... He thinks about it for 5 mins, then call and tables A/K. Turn A, River K..... I go bye bye... Im steaming soI play the BJ tables at Venetian.. I up 125 and know I should leave, but Im waiting for my beer so I keep playing... Some crazy Russian sits downs and plays crazy. He hits until he get 21 or busts- know matter what the dealer is showing... I go from up 125 to down 400 in Bj session ( but I got my beer)... I head back to Wynn and lose 300 ... Done for evening.. End up losing about 800 on first day ( all from BJ and and 175 from tourny..

Wake up Monday and Play some Bj befor I go to Caesars for noon tourny... I lose 350 rather quickly.. Did I tell you I hate BlackJack???

I head to Caesars. They changed the noon tourny to 200 with 7500 in tourny chips- but left the levels the same...Im completely card dead in this tourny... Near end of second level I get 99 in late position.. I call after 5 others limp...Flop is K94 with with 1 club..Every one checks and I bump it to 300 and get I caller... River is 3 Clubs.. Other player checks and I bet 1200 he calls... River comes j clubs... he checks and I now I m bet so I check.. He shows K Q clubs for flush and I muck.... Did not get one playable habd for next 2 levels.. Its gets crazy during level 3, but I didnt have any chance or cards to make a move... Im down to 2800 with 200/400 blind and 50 ante. I go all in with j9 in SB after 2 limpers..Big Blind calls( who is a short stack).. She shows A/5 spades.. J comes on the flop, but she get runner/runner spades for flush..Im down to 400... I go all in with 6/j and get trip 6s and now have 1200... I get j/Q UTG+1 and Bb calls.... He tables AJ and I go bye bye.....Where do I head ... BJ tables.... I win 125 and leave.....Im heading down for some 1/3, then back to Venetian for 8pm tourny.... I will post a follow up with rest of trip...

  1. I agree BJ stinks- last trip I played for about 2-3 hours at the Wynn- lost money each shoe. I also played at Caesars- lost again. I just need to stick with poker.
