If your going to throw all your profit at tourneys make 10k at cash and yolo the main event

But really just grind cash man, the structures in these tourneys sound awful

#boycottmtts

Looks like I'll have to head home on 30 June, so can only play 2 more mtts - 1500 monster stack and the 1k I already sold for.

Won 1900 tonight, was -1k and then won AA vs KK, qq vs ak both 2k pots and a bunch of other stuff. Got a horse shoe up my ass atm, it's pretty damn good!!

I won 1900 in 5 hours tonight, and it didn't feel anywhere near as good as winning the flip for 3am dinner just now! I'm so Scottish.

Great stuff, thanks for the updates!

Are you staying in a hotel or airbnb-type thingy? I guess you can't get significant comps, like a room, playing ssnl poker compared to blackjack etc?

Np buddy glad you like. Staying in something similar to airbnb, $3800 for 4 bedrooms and it's right next to The Strip, so it's a great deal! Comps are like $2 an hour most places, and in The Rio you have to ask for them which sort of sucks but hey ho!

Went to Walmart today and then played tennis with Remco with no t-shirt in 120 degree heat. In b4 I'm a fkn lobster in a few hours. Going to Rio today to grind some cash, watch Penn and Teller and then grind cash again! Got a couple of hands from yesterday, feel free to critique but as ever keep it friendly...

Early in the game, fish limps, I iso 9d9x to 25, reg to my left who I haven't played a hand with yet makes it 85, only I call. Flop is Q84dd, I x, he bets 115, I call, turn Kx, I check he checks. River is 4d and I x, he bets 240, I jam for 880 and he calls after about 2 mins with KdJx, nhnh.

Later I have about 1400 and straddle btn, spewy as fk fish limps CO, nitty Asian reg makes it 40 from bb, spewy as fk fish calls and I look down at AA (straddling btn is weird in Venetian), I make it 125, he makes it 340, I jam and he goes into the tank. I know he's staring at me hard so I remember some stuff Remco told me about tells and started looking away, leaning back and pouting a bit, he calls about 3 seconds after I start pouting lol so it must've worked. I flip over AA and board is Q high, I didn't think he would tank w KK so was like omfg, but I'm good and scoop!

A hand towards the end, new Asian guy to the table (fk me everyone is Asian in my stories eh) makes it 15 with about 750 behind, I make it 45 w 2 black jacks and he calls. Flop is J87hh and he x's, I bet like 70 here and he insta makes it 200ish. I jammed so ****ing fast after he raised he nearly fell out his seat. He calls and I insta-flip over again (I always do this) and he grimaces. Turn is 9 hearts and he starts shaking his head and mumbling (!!!!!!!!), river is 7x and he sighs and flips over Q8hh, he legit looked so sad to see heart ott.

Think that's it, I got QQ in vs AK and held too which was pretty sweet. Gonna play the Monster Stack on Friday providing I break even at worst at 2/5 until then (I am super confident playing live now, changed days from when I used to get shagged at 1/2). I'm gonna sell 33% for the Monster. It's 300bb starting stack and I think I have a big edge here, so as a ty to Blakk for always buying action he can have as much as he wants* and will offer the rest to another buddy who has been very patient with me sending him messages offering action and then not playing it etc etc etc. If there's any left over I'll open it up in here. Ty to all that have bought so far, I appreciate it very much

*feel free to say no buddy obviously

**** you op

I'll reserve 5 if it doesn't get taken

This thread is getting so great, it's gonna be hard to go back to non-Vegas stuff

Thanks bud will let you know, think it'll be snapped up tho yeah it's gonna suck, especially with me doing the Party promo between when I get home and 20th Aug, 250k hands, works out at 6k/day, gonna be boooooring!


Got to the Rio, ground for 40 mins, made $5 profit, and off to P&T. Was an awesome show and a lot funnier than I thought it'd be, really enjoyed it. Got my pic taken with Teller too!



Went to Venetian to grind after and made $1550. I picked off a bluff from my favourite Dutch buddy, and then played a great hand. Biiiiig fish in the game, he was in town for the Dominos Pizza convention (ironic I stacked him I know), we chopped blinds once and then about 20 mins later it's folded to him in SB and he completes and says "I got two sevens" (he had told me his hand 3 or 4 times before and showed that so I knew he definitely had 77), I have ATcc and make it 20 to go, he calls, and flop is J8xcc. I bet 35 and he calls, turn is Tx and I check back (we are chatting all the way through the hand). River is the ****ing 7 of ****ing clubs and he is like "i told ya i got sevens!" and leads 200 (pretty sure the sound of my boner thumping the table was a tell), I just shovel it in and he says "all in" lololol and flips em over and I show the nuts and he's like "who wins?" superb stuff!

I then got a bit cally/spewy. 6 handed, meh game, I open 66, btn (new reg to the game) calls and bb calls too. Flop is Q62dd. I bet 40 into 60, btn calls, turn is 5x, I bet 105, he calls, river 7d. I thought loooooong and hard and decided to check, he bet 250 and I bleh called. He had 86dd, racked up and left after that.

Feeling a weeeee bit burnt out, might be home on 30th June, but might man up and stay for another 2 weeks after that. We'll see what happens!

cool updates again stay in vegas as long as u can dude!
and how many times you been IDed in vegas i thought i looked young!

sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but that's not trueteller

Ya guy behind him is the real teller

May not be trueteller but there is still one of the best poker players in the world in that pic

Woke up, chilled, hit the gym, cooked and chilled again all the while remco sent updates of him destroying 5/10 at the Wynn to the tune of $5171 in <2 hours. Some boy. Feeling very refreshed and energised so gonna go to Bellagio and play some 5/10 (wanna play there as it has a 1500 cap).

I didn't wanna play any 5/10 this trip but I'm up about 15k so there's no excuse. LFG!

please stay as long as you can. Class Vegas updates. Why would you not wanna stay for as long as possible when your crushing cash games and up 15k

Edit ; just seen your feeling burnt out at bottom of last post. Id suggest taking a couple of days off and get out of Vegas for a couple of days. Maybe get out to the coast in LA and come back with your battery's recharged ready to crush again.

Off home tomorrow, it's been a hell of a trip but I haven't been feeling it for the past few days and don't want to force grinding.

Vegas
