Thanks TJ! Time for the next update...
DAY 7 (Sunday) – Part 1
While I was sleeping in, my wife was sticking to her morning $1/$3 Aria schedule. Since her results keep overshadowing mine, I’ll give a bit more detail on this particular session.
When she sat down (with $200 as usual), her table was fairly deep-stacked. Only one opponent had a similar stack to hers, with the rest all being $600+ and two sitting on about $1500 each. Given it was a Sunday morning, it’s likely that several of them had been playing overnight.
Her first thoughts were to look for another table, but instead she stayed for a bit to see how it went. In comparison to her session at the Wynn, the players were playing a bit more reasonably, with more normal sized opens.
A couple of brief hand histories (figures approx.):
Hand #1:
Heroine is in late position with $220 and main villain is the short stack in the blinds with $150 (all others cover).
Heroine calls $15 pre-flop with A
2
4 players to the flop, which brings A

($60).
Checks around.
Turn comes A

K

MP bets $30 and Heroine raises to $75.
MP goes all in and Heroine calls for $135 total (all others fold).
River A

K

($330).
Villain had K

for pair plus straight draw.
Hand #2:
Heroine (late position) has $750 and villain (early position) has $350.
Villain opens to $12, heroine calls with 6

and 2 others call.
Flop: 2

Villain bets $35, heroine calls and other fold.
Turn: 2

($240).
Villain goes all in for $255.
Heroine calls and shows the quads. Villain shows QQ.
Flop quads, and have someone bet every street for you. Must be nice!!!
After a session of only about 2 hours, my wife cashes out for a profit of
+$866. Solid hourly rate there...
-> I’m very happy to keep getting overshadowed by my wife – I only wished she had the habit of taking some chip pics to put into this report!
Although boring in comparison, around midday I went to MGM again, buying in for my regular $200.
I had a friendly but unfortunately rather good player to my left and started my session quite quickly down $100.
I added on another $100 but found myself down again and after an hour or so was in for $400 total.
However, after a session of about 5 hours (long by my standards), I cashed out exactly
break-even. Good result given the start, but weak in comparison to my wife’s recent run!
As if to underline the point above, my wife shortly afterwards finished her afternoon session at Bellagio. She reported a mediocre profit of "just
+$160", meaning that since Friday morning she has won 6/6 sessions for a total of +$2567 - all this at $1/$3 and buying in for $200.
Updated graph for my wife:
My wife was done for the day, but I still had a late-night session at Caesars, which I'll report when I get the chance.
As ever, thanks for reading and I appreciate the comments.
