Staying at Cosmo again - last years WSOP report here - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...-food-1448521/

Playing the Wynn ME tomorrow and then if bust the WPT500 turbo Day 1 on Sunday, otherwise mostly pit games.

My Delta app tells me it's almost time



The shoes - before anyone calls me Riverman the New Balances are solely for running


Bankroll and player cards, including my first WSOP players card from 2006 that I still use even though it hasn't done **** for me



Run good one time!

Run good man, going to be out there almost same days, playing low stakes cash games but down to hang if you want to grab some Sushi or a beer.

Busted Wynn tournament in Level 4 - played awful. On way out beat the Wynn out of 5800 in the pits but after eating at Jaleo blew back 5000 to Cosmo. Headed to Rio to play the 8pm $2000 super sat. Fun day.

Having problems uploading photos - will try later.

lol I'm pretty sure losing a 800+ BB pot in a mega Sat qualifies as horrible no matter how it happens. Thank God Jerry Yang still gives me hope although Baby Jesus hasn't ever had my back. Back to Cosmo - if anyone wants to drink and play come on.

wow, great pics. how did you win at Wynn, all bj? how much were you betting?

Wynn profits were 1000 BJ and 3800 Craps. I start with 100 bets in both. I'm up on a Eastern time now (bed at around 1:45, up at 5:30 despite having been drinking) so before the Aria WPT500 turbo flight at 830 think I'm headed to Casino Royale to shoot the dice at 100x odds. No rest for the weary.

5 in front and 500 behind at royale will blow their minds. A 30 min. roll and you might own the place. Gogo!

I ended up blowing through 3k at Aria playing BJ - never have been able to beat this place - table 8 seat 5 in the turbo just now if anyone here.

Did you make it to Casino Royale. I only recently discovered craps, and 100x sound awfully appealing. GL at WPT.

No - it's on the list however - with 100x odds its the lowest house edge imaginable - I'll trip report it at some point. Guy two seats to my right here is from Liverpool and I'm a huge Liverpool FC fan so a lot to talk about.

50-100 level - everyone still has near 15k start - raise to 250, guy 3 bets to a full 5000 - after everyone folds he proudly rolls over AA. Says "I don't want to see a flop with that hand."

Sunday began with me waking up at around 5am even though went to bed the night before at 2. Eastern time zone ftw. Walked over to Aria to register for the WPT500 turbo flight and see this guy on walkway - he has a Glock on his right hip.



I dunno - if you are going to carry a gun in public for some reason I'd rather you have a shirt on. Anyway I busted in 1200/2400 level - it was obviously a shove fest by that point because stacks were so low but was fun to play and I felt better about my decisions than in the two tournies the day before.

Afterwards headed to BJ table - got a 5k marker, was down to less than 3k chips and ordered first Greyhound of my life.



Next thing you know - no kidding - am able to pay off the marker and carry this away as profit.


For the most part the rest of the night was a dud - wasn't able to maintain the initial Greyhound momentum. Headed over with two friends late and had some loaded up nachos at Cabo Wabo. Headed to Rio today to sweat my friend in the ME. Still have three full days left so will try and slow down at the tables at bit. Good intentions anyway.

Greyhound power. Should've ordered another.

Yesterday started at the Rio - my friend made Day 2 of the ME with just under 35k down from a high of about 65k but just happy to be in the game still. After buying into the 3pm DDS I had some time to kill and in one shoe of blackjack turned 1000 into 2500.

The DDS showcases a special kind of horrible play that you have to see to believe. Next time I'm around some people that I truly hate, I've got several bad beat stories to torture them with - no one here wants to hear it I know.

A familiar refrain has been winning in the pits early and then losing big at night. There is the "not drinking early v wasted drunk late" possible effect here of course at it relates to bankroll mgmt. I always love those Harrah's commercials where that employee says "we don't want you to gamble if you've had too much to drink!" - they need a laugh track behind that line.

Today will include dinner at L'Atelier Robuchon at MGM Grand which will be great. Had the grilled octopus at Milo's last night which is always great, and also their super tzatsiki spread that is also very good with charred bread.

I want to win money like you when I grow up. BJ betting strategies?

Get lucky is best strategy - I keep something of a count but not that good at it - when you get hot you have to press them for you can turn around a shoe in just 3 or 4 hands if you are aggressive. Of course you have worst end of it so best advice is carry a horseshoe in your ass.
