Confirmed Galfond in the One Drop (presumably that's why he's here?) Ran into him heading into the Rio while waiting for an Uber. He must've parked his own car like some kind of peasant. Wished him luck, so if he wins millions I'm claiming credit.

Out of the cash game +422. Off to dinner.

Was gonna play more poker tonight but met up with some friends from home and I think a night partying with them will be a little more fun than a poker room (there are ripped up 20's all over their suite at the Wynn) so the pokering will wait till the morning. Some pics have been taken.

If anyone out there has found Caylie's shoe, feel free to let us know. We'd love to give it back...

That would be $40 of drinks in one shot. This place is so sick...

What a night. Within 30 minutes of arriving at this suite:

-offered a line (declined)
-hooker arrived for a "massage" with one of the guys
-Guy I've known since we were 5 years old was chugging Fireball standing on top of the table.
-One dude called him a little *****, so he jumped off the table and started pouring the Fireball all over the dude's head, including in his eyes.
-played "baseball" with beer cans and the post-like things with the metal spheres on top (in pics). I suggested we may want to "pitch" away from the TV and not towards it. Apparently I was crimping their style.

Then we went down to the table at XS. Was a great party. Really glad I did one night of tagging along with these guys.

Dropped a pretty nominal amount at BJ Switch afterwards because I was hammered and f*** it. Apparently I'm not allowed to curse when I lose. I remember getting yelled at about that.

I have no damn idea how those guys do this every day Thursday-Sunday with "pool parties" as well. I feel like hell and I was only there for a few hours.

Probably a bad idea to upload pictures of certain things, but a few from the night...going through these reminded me of the huge heavy shell thing we were tossing around like a football...

Remembered why I don't drink as much as I used to. Felt like crap all day. Woke up too late to bet Real Madrid, which guaranteed them a win. At least I hit the Preds for a $70 winner.

Quick cash session @ Caesars while waiting for friends to join for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Very first hand I'm dealt in I get TT UTG+1 and raise to 15. 5 callers and Asian lady in the BB makes it $100 ($93 behind). Kind of a weird spot because I don't think I'm ever ahead, but there's so much dead money that getting in against AK is a great outcome. I stick it in, all others fold as expected, and she calls. Board 84254. She's got QQ and wins. I putz around for another half hour and cash out down $300.

We've ordered a truly absurd amount of food for dinner, gotta finally get rid of this hangover.

Like I said, an absurd amount of food. Stuffed tater tots, buffalo blasts, fried cauliflower (definitely the MVP of the meal), 2 burgers and some Thai chicken thing for 3 people.

Fortunately, we are boxing a bunch of it up to go back to the crew @ the Wynn who will be very appreciative. Their packed schedule of pool parties, nightclubbing, Rhino visits, "nose nachos", vodka shots, "massages" and destruction of Wynn property leaves little time for meals. There was a great snap this morning of one of the guys who had passed out in the hallway being literally dragged into the suite over top of a bunch of discarded room service plates. He was at the party 3 hours later.

IME, when a lady player bumps it by 6+x your raise? You are way TF behind.

You're surely right, was just what I thought in moment. Shouldn't have been playing with the hangover.

Plan had been to head downtown last night, but by the time dinner ended and my buddy got done shopping in the Forum Shops it was past 11pm. Went to bed early, like a b****.

The Wynn crew leaves today, one of them lost all his cash, his phone, his drivers license, most of his dignity, and his passport went for a swim. Picture is barely visible. If he manages to get on the plane it will only be because he's white.

Headed out to the WSOP. Still hesitating on the Colossus because the structure just sucks so much. If I can run this up at 1/3 to "freeroll" the 4pm flight in the next few hours I'll hop in. Cash table is super soft, tons of raise, cbet, and take it down. In for 300

Very bizarre hand just now. Button opens for 10, I call from the SB with 4♥️3♥️ along with 4 others. Flop is 2♥️4♠️8♥️. Checked to him, he bets 45 and I call. Turn 8♣️. I check, he bets $60 and I jam for $150.

He's clearly steaming from something (had made quite a few calls that were obviously terrible) and I suspect he's just double-barreling, especially since he will far more often have high cards when raising into 5 limps than an 8. I certainly have more 8's, and a bunch of equity against most of his hands that can call anyway. He calls. River is the 6♦️. I show and he flips over J♠️3♠️.

Guess I underestimated just how tilted he was. Oh well, onto the next bullet.

Wandered over to watch the bubble of the One Drop. Admittedly, the bubble is for many multiples of my net worth, and they're doing a lot more thinking than I'm capable of, but I'd lose my mind playing at this speed. ~8 minutes and the secondary feature has played 2 hands. With one flop.

Edit: was something about a break not being taken out of the clock, not a pace of play related "clock" announcement to tables as I assumed.

Just busted 2nd cash bullet. 33 v TT v A♣️K♣️ on 3♣️6♣️T♣️. Going for a walk to decide if I want to play more or just grab a beer and watch the game.

I don't get it...doesn't you pair of 4s win this hand?

I wrote it wrong. Flop 4 was actually a 3. We both had a pair of 3's, his kicker played.

Woke up early and wandered over into the Flamingo 1-1 PLO again. Made a small dent in the trip losses, +435. Again, really fun game. Mildly annoying that several dealers made literally no effort to calculate the pot and would instead just always turn to me or another player to figure it out for them when needed, but that's better than guessing I suppose and I was grateful the game was even running. Not entirely sure what to do with the last full day here.
