Forgot to update, we grind our short stack til the 3rd break, shortly after we get moved, table is active and stacked with chips. There had been some crazy calls, so i was looking for a spot to squeeze my stack in and pick up dead money. Table fish limps, button limps, sb limps, i shove A10cc and button tank calls with AJ and holds....AND WE ARE OUT!
So now we are at the airport, came to LV with 1 suitcase full, leaving with 3 fully loaded and 2 small bags of hand luggage (gota love those peanut butter m&ms)
A brief breakdown of costs over the 3.5 weeks we spent approx the following...
$5200 tournaments with $400 in bountys and $1900 for a 1st place in the smallest tournament i played.
Cash games
$7000 total loss at $5/$10, 3 of the 4 huge pots were with top set, one losing to quads, and another KK v AA. i deff didnt run good, and im sure had things went my way i would be checking into a new hotel today, but next trip i will focus on 2/5 as its alot more action.
1/2 was a small profit after a huge loss the other night at the nugget (uncapped buyin game makes it a bit unfair to judge)
2/5 was a winner, approx $3000 up from what i kept note off mostly thanks to a huge score at Bellagio and the Bike in LA
Casino games - i only played craps, with maybe a dozen hands of blackjack. Biggest win $300 to $4300 at Wynn. Biggest loss $1000 in 10 mins, also at the Wynn. I will be staying at the Hard Rock on my next stay after playing there the 2nd last night i found they offer better odds on bonus bets on dice (175/1 instead of 150/1) and i have a hosts email to arrange a comped stay if i wire X amount and give good action. Still approx $2000 down approx i imagine.
exspenses - $1200 at tuscany inc resort fee, $500 at ramada LA, approx $700 on ubers/lyft $300 on groceries, $3500 on clothes, trainers and other gifts etc. $700 on casino chips for the collection and gifts some to be sold to pay for my next flight :-) that means a heap on money went on dinners, taxis, pool partys etc.
So all in all, left a heap of dollars in las vegas. My next trip report will deff include a longer visit to LA, no dice degening there and much much better games.
My only regret is shot taking deep 5/10 games early and not playing enough volume on the rio dailys, im sure had i played more of them i could have got a result. Most fustrating event was the milly maker, got my stack up to 3x avg and got destroyed by the deck in 6 hands with all back to back pairs. The set vs runner runner flush rocked me, and im still shocked with my exit hand which is mentioned, and i missed value with KK on Q xxx board where i shove turn and got KQ to fold.
So now the 9.5 hour flight, hoping to sleep a bit, and be fresh for a bbq at a friends before heading up london for the £170 deepstack, if i ship it il be on the next flight back out here!
Little treat :-)
