First session in a casino was pretty cool, walked around for a bit and made a players card at the Wynn. $500 cap 1/3 so I went pretty aggressive with the BR out the gate. Table was soft, there was only one other "grinder" type at my table. The stacks for the most part ranged around 200-300, not bad. I would like some feedback on HAND 5 if you guys have a chance to read throughout the HH's.
Sat down with five B. Franklins in front of me and was wondering when I would get chips after 10 minutes lol. The chip runner came to the table but I didn't hand over the cash so no chips. I knew I should've just bought chips at the cage. After I finally got chips the whole table started joking around about my cluelessness haha. Instant fish status.
First hand I decide to raise to 15 over 2 limpers with 5
4
from the BTN, get called by one guy that was drinking. Flop comes out J66. He bets 25, I raise to 70, he goes AI for 250 more. Dammit, spew on my first hand.
HAND 1
HERO $530 A
J
V (Grinder reg, doesn't seem aggro)
3 limps, HERO raises to 15, 3 calls
FLOP(45): J
7
3
checks to me, HERO bets 40, V raises to 110, HERO folds
Both of these hands happened within the first 3 orbits so I imagine my image is terrible. I started to worry I was over-anxious so I take a few deep breaths and decide to just tighten up for a bit and work on some value bets. I do end up bluff raising a A
J
9
flop with K
5
after a cbet from weak-tight guy and he folds.
HAND 2
HERO SB $560
V $600 BB (Grinder reg)
Pretty much left each other alone since the first hand where I got c/r. I did 3 bet him with AQo IP and he folded. He moved to my direct left after some guy busted out.
V1 "chop?"
Me "Nah lets play"
HERO looks down at T
T
HERO raises to 15, V raises to 40, HERO calls
FLOP (80): 8

RIVER (350) A
HERO checks, V bets 110, HERO calls

HERO bets 55, V raises to 140, HERO goes AI, V snaps
I fast roll my hand on the turn (people in Vegas don't open to the river I guess)
RIVER: T
V opens 6
6
Whole table ooo's and ahh's about BBJ
(it doesn't qualify anyway is what the convo ended at)
HAND 4

V $100 (tilted young guy, bought in like 6 times and had to go to the ATM)
2 limps, HERO raises to 15, 3 calls

"STRAIGHT"
I look again and its the 8
2
, what a sicko...
HAND 5
HERO CO $500 K
J
V1 BTN $700 (annoying guy, jerk to the dealer, and talks about equity %'s to people, running good. He just hit a flush on someone for stacks before this hand. He talked to me about hands but I ignored him)
V2 SB $100 (mid aged lady, just having fun, limps every hand)
Folds to hero, HERO raises to 12, V1 calls, V2 calls

HAND 6

V $500 (big guy, old school vegas type of gambler, casually drinking)
3 limp, HERO raises to 15, 3 calls
FLOP (60):K
Q
7
V bets 55, fold, fold, HERO raises to 150, V calls
TURN (360): 3
V goes AI for 350,
I wasn't happy because I wanted him to check and I jam but I convinced myself not very many hands play like that except flush draws so I could be ahead, HERO calls
RIVER: 6
V shakes his head and then opens 5
4
I been getting crushed for the past 3 hands now so I am pretty disgusted at this point.
So now I only have ~$350 left in front, the other $1150 I brought is spread around the table. I open one more hand, fold flop. I finally wake up with J
J
, someone raises to 10, I make it 40, get called in 2 spots. FLOP comes T73, I bet 70, get raised to 150, guy tank folds, I tilt fold. I sit for a few more hands and the guy says he folded QQ and the other guy said he had 33. I just get a rack and cash out my last $214.
Wynn session
-$1286, 5 hours
I go back to where I am staying and grab some cash then go to the the uncapped Golden Nugget 1/2 game. Game sounds wild with everyone wasted and yelling so I am hopeful but I was extremely card dead and the game wasn't that crazy action wise. It had hilarious table talk though. I tapped out after about 3 hours and cashed out
+$46
Hopefully I can do better tonight because that was a rough first session.
