1/2 NL.

$300 effective. No reads on table, 3rd hand. UTG raises to $8. Hero call 1 spot before button with 2 other and QJ off.

10h 6d 9h flop. UTG bets $12, all call.

Js turn. Utg bets $34, hero calls, one fold, last to act makes it $70, UTG shoves for 2xx. Hero folds?

Why did I fold? Note, I am pretty drunk after the high roller.

Back to the strip for some poker finally!

Well that sucks. ELCo is a favorite. If your newly baptized BIL lost that’s probably a good thing.

+1 on that, first morning (technically still middle of the night) of my very first time in Vegas last year, I ended up at Hash House for a breakfast. Both me and the table next to us complained that the food was absolutely inedible.

OP: Great TR, enjoying it. GL!

Would honestly just fold pre against an UTG-raise, at least considering you have an off-suit variant of these two broadway cards.

Everybody awake and motivated today. Yesterday was tough for everyone gambling wise but were all decent with BR management except BIL, I think he went busto on BJ late night.

The HighRoller was cool as hell. Best experience so far, hands down.

Plan for today is jump out of a plane and land safely on the ground and do some drinking tonight. Tomorrow day is Ventian DS tournament and night time is taking the kid to a few shake joints.

ElCo was pretty cool. We asked for a waitress at one point and our dealer stated," You're at ElCo. If you wanted drinks, you should've ordered them yesterday."

This is really interesting to hear. How long were you on it? Are you with a rando group of strangers?

Reload the BIL. You can't have him broke yet.

5 in our group and another group of about 6 in the same pod. All you can drink for 30 minutes. Bartender kept the drinks strong and kept em coming quick. We had probably 8 shots and 6-7 drinks in that time period. Was a blast.

BIL is square, he set a little money aside for the next few days so he'll live, especially after we hit craps tonight!

Avoid the Golden Nugget unless you want to play poker. Recommend Golden Gate and the D. Avoid the Plaza. Fremont has $3 craps, might be busy, Binions sometimes has fun craps and $3 limits. If you have time check out Main Street Station, fun craps with cool Hawaiians, 20x odds, also $5 double deck BJ, pays 3/2 BJ. To get there walk through back entrance of Binions, cross the street to California and take the bridge walkway to MSS. Hawaiian Place isn’t bad if you like noodles, get saimen and spam musabi.

They should be walking down that way anyway since all the good bars are in that area. As always, I highly recommend the Downtown Cocktail Room. Between 4PM-7PM, 1/2 off EVERYTHING.
