5 Day trip with family and friends. One of the guys that came with me was a friend who is fairly new to poker and had never been to Vegas. We both had limited bankrolls and spent most of our time playing 2/4, 3/6, and 2/6 spread.

Saturday- Arrived early and checked in using airport check in at MGM Grand. Headed down to the mid strip area and instantly got into a 2/4 game at IP. Up, down, and then back up for a small profit but I'm in Vegas and life is good.

Sunday- Played a short session for a small loss at IP during the afternoon while the rest of my party played table games at O'Sheas. Lots of fish and players chasing everything. Quote of the day was a woman who clearly had no idea what she was doing said "it just gets boring when I have to wait 3 or 4 hands to play so I end up just playing whatever I get." I suppose thats what you get playing 2/4. She cracked my queens with her 2 pr of 10s and 3s from EP. We left IP and walked down to TI. Again played 2/4. Pretty decent session. but couldnt catch anything. I asked for any AVPers but no one there was a member. Played for a while and my friend and brother decided they had enough. Left TI and headed down to Sahara. They had 2 games of 2/4 going so my friend and I split up. Apparently he picked the right seat. I lost about $40 in just under an hour playing some decent cards but not flopping anything. He wins over $100 by catching just about every hand and every flop.

Monday- We got up early and played in the Mandalay Bay $40 tourney. Not bad. Well run. Caught a hand early but finished 12/30. Aggressive blind structure makes it tough to play real poker but my friends/family wanted a cheap tourney just to get some action. Monday night was the best nite of poker from a fun standpoint. Played a 6 hour session of 2/4 at MGM. Same table almost all nite. We started the table and when I got up there were 5 of the original 10 still there. Lots of fun. Up and down and finally back up for a small $20 profit, but it sure beats a kick in the pants. Lost a huge hand when my kings and my buddy's jacks full boat were both beat by a woman who flopped quads. I guess thats poker. Great session from a fun standpoint

Tuesday- Went downtown to play at Binions. I have wanted to do this for a while. Took a while to get into a game and we had to get back to check in for our flights on southwest. Won $60 at the 3/6 game in about an hour. It was a lot of fun. Good table if you are patient. The night cap was the first experience of 2/6 spread at Excalibur. I LOVE THIS GAME. I dont have the bankroll for NL yet, but I really wanted to play a game where I could show some strength. Great game for a player like me. Made some more profit and headed to bed.

Wed- No poker but we played $3 craps at Casino Royale. I highly recommend this. Great odds and if you are there, seek out Patty the cocktail waitress. She is AWESOME. Honestly the best waitress that I have ever found in the whole city.

All in all a fun trip with no real loss to speak about and a good time. Unfortunately our flight was delayed coming back and even worse than that, we left 60 degree weather for 10 degree weather in Ohio. Cant wait to get back.
