Well that was a short lived tourney for me. Got one 565 bullet left in my package but won't be firing again today. Think I'll just play cash for the rest of the day.

Sitting the Aria 2-5NL. Nothing out of the ordinary going on yet. Up a little bit. Table is pretty quiet. Game 2 is starting though and I have a good seat to watch it from.

Not exactly chip porn, but I had forgotten how much better the service is here on the strip. I am rather fond of the "this is how we vegas" slogan.

Keep it coming Ivin - you got me hurting to get back for the 4th weekend

2-5NL at Aria went rather well for me. It may have been the fact I was winning, but I had forgotten how much a good, comfortable atmosphere with good service can count for my mood. While WSOP has abundant games and shorter lists, the experience can sometimes be annoying. The seats are uncomfortable, the number of hands dealt slows down, and dealing with those chip runners is seriously tilting... not to mention a game at the WSOP can quickly change with such a high turnover rate.

Cashed out +1028 today just having hands hold up and getting good value from them. Nothing exciting. About to go get some Lemongrass with the Jew then head home. I got a Game of Thrones episode waiting for me and I got that 1500 nlhe bracelet event tomorrow. Let's ****ing go A game + rungood!

Fk yeah game of thrones going down here too, then MTT tomorrow. Gl run good

Woke up early, gonna hit up Starbucks, and then gonna reg this 1500 NLHE! Last time I searched for a Starbucks just driving the side streets down to the Rio, no nav/GPS/google. I didn't find a single one! But I remembered there was a drive thru right next to Izakaya Go on Spring Mountain/Valley View so that's the one I plan to hit u.

That GoT episode last night was sad af. =(

For future reference: there is a huge Starbucks in the strip mall next to Palms on Flamingo, at Arville

j little wants to remind you again to not fold KK again vs euro preflop

(couldn't help myself b/c was reminded of hand when we talked lol)

Always good to remind me.

I had no idea he was a ***** euro!

(Today I ran into a super loose eastern euro/Russian who Flatted my pf raise w QQ... Calls my cbet on K hi flop to bink his Q on the turn and gut my AA. Got him later calling him down with bottom pair tho.)

Sitting on 22.5k 300bb round just started.

Went to dinner break with 21200 in chips, coming back to 200/400/50a level.

Ate at Izakaya Go again with ASAP. Ridiculously good value here.


ASAP's sashimi dinner ($18)


My poki burrito ($13)

Definitely making this my go to for dinner breaks.

Anyway another 5 levels to go... long night ahead hopefully.

And busto right before end of level 7. Pmuch got owned by aggressive player on my left.

upside down smiley

hang in there bud!

yea -- keep the hope up!

Just busted the 1k nlhe. Ran it up to double my starting stack. Then lost a flip to a get back down close to starting stack, then ran AK into KK pre to get down to a 10bb stack, then ran A9 into QQ in the blinds. All pretty standard today, so I'm not disappointed! Gonna enjoy a day of cash.

go kick the cash games azzzz

Walk of shame. It's cloudy and 92 degrees out.



I welcome this weather!

Well this is no fun. Playing the Aria 2-5NL and ran my KK into a young Euro's AA for 140bb each pre. Then like an hour later, in a multi way 3b pot, get it in with bottom set vs. 3 bettors bare flush draw for 180bb each. Running bad but still having fun. Too bad it looks like the Dubs are about to lose.

Super rough night at 2-5nl for me lol. Just ate a slice of forager from Five50 while watching this chick in tiny shorts bend over the sports bar counter over and over. Sorry I couldn't snap any CvD'esque pics though. I just don't got the balls to do it (mostly).

In for 3500 out for 2102. Not as bad as we were three hours ago!



(The snap says macallans plural but I'm really on my first one, just trying to impress the snap fans lmao.)

LOL - you just got to watch behind you! Run better, Ivin.

Great TR and pics so far. Lots of people hoping you run better, but you don't seem to be playing particularly well? ...140BB pre with KK- what did you put him on?

I don't play KK very well. Ask Jonathan Little.

Nit itt

Always enjoy your trip reports, but I hope you were a GS fan back in the day when they sucked year in and year out.

There are more fair weather, bandwagon, Golden State Warriors fans right now in Las Vegas than I have seen of any other team in the past 20 years..99% of them couldn't even tell you who Rick Barry is..
