So Wednesday night I was playing at Aria. At some point I saw a tweet that Andrew and Brad were going to have a 2/5 game on Thursday. That was the perfect opportunity as that's my last night in Vegas.
Fast forward about 24 hours. The game was held at the Mirage. At the time I signed up for the 2/5 there was a list. Andrew and Brad were playing at separate tables. Those were both main games. I got seated at a must move game.
The game I was in had some straddles and a lot of action going on resulting in some deep stacks. There were some tough players at that table as well.
------
Hand 21 - 2/5 Mirage
There's an early open to 15, a call and I call with JTo on the button. We see a flop 4 ways.
Flop T43 (pot ~60)
The preflop aggressor bets 30, the next player calls, I call. We're now three ways.
Turn J (pot 150)
Preflop raiser checks, player bets 80, I call, Preflop raiser shoves for 260(?), player calls all-in for 200(?). I think someone must have a set here and I fold.
"Player" ended up showing AJ and the preflop raiser mucked.
------
Hand 22
Encouraged by the action player I decide to straddle one time (to 10).
An active player opens to 35 and both blinds call. I wake up with A
K
in the straddle. I make it 125 which is small actually. Only the BB calls.
Flop A
Q
T
(pot 320)
BB checks, I bet 150, BB folds
------
Hand 23
UTG limps, another two players limp and I complete KTo in the SB. BB checks and we are 5 ways.
Flop AQJ two-tone (pot 25)
Wow, this is kind of second chance for hand 19!
I lead for 20 and only UTG calls.
Turn Q (pot 65)
I continue betting for 40, UTG raises to 80, I make it 200 to charge a Q. He folds though.
------
At this point I fear that I'm not going to get to sit at one of the main games with one of the vloggers as not a lot of players are getting up from those games.
