If you follow my TR I tend to not like playing poker on my Vegas trip since I can easily play online... But this will be the only poker hand posted this trip!

Lost in the tourney with 12 left for CL pot JJ < A4.... Flop was 10-9-8...turn 4 river 4 booo!

Back to craps table and I did really well! More chip porn!



Need to thank the guy who knocked me out I guess!

Tonight we are going to my favourite buffet place for Xmas dinner! And that is the Bucchanal buffet at Caesers. About $65/p but its well worth it!

Really cool stuff! Getting to skip lines is probably the thing I've enjoyed most about being Diamond, so I totally feel you there when you said that's why you wanted to grind it out.

Yeah that's the biggest perk on top of having pretty much all accommodation comped. I really don't gamble that much but putting everything on the players card really gather points....and tipping dealers! The pit boss will put you in at higher avg bet if they like you

Some pics from the stroll along the strip to NYNY for zumanity!





Waiting for zumanity! to start


The show was long and kinda boring... Didn't know what to expect but it was just like any cirque du soleil show...

Going to call it a night early so I can wake up early for my fav morning crap session! Let's hope I run better than today even though it was pretty good already but I'm in Vegas so I'm going to be greedy!

Why do you enjoy the early morning craps session? Is it because the table is usually empty, or because there are people who have been up all night drinking and look like death?

Thanks! Craps is such a swingy game but its insanely fun! I just hope that I can always run hot! So far I haven't had a good roll yet these are all from other players rolls so I'm waiting for my own hot roll.....soon!

Early morning craps is fun because the tables are usually empty, I tend to run a little better, and also because dealers pay more attention so I don't miss any of my center action. I always always always tip the dealers in the morning so they pay extra attention to me. I always have $5 on 5 & 9 with player control for the dealer and sometimes this bets get to like $50 each roll so they really appreciate it and pay extra attention to me

What is your craps strategy?

If I'm not rolling I'm doing $96 across including and if 6 or 8 hits I press them up $6 each and if 5/9 hits I press those up by $5 and if 4/10... You get the idea. I will keep doing that until I have about $40-50 then it becomes: $12/$10 press! I will usually also do $5 on each hardways if I'm running good and parlay when they hit!

My strategy is fairly aggressive that's why I go through lots of swings! Had another horrible morning session just having lunch and back again refreshed

No pass line odds bets or come bets with odds?
Don't the hardway bets have terrible odds?
