Thank you all for the birthday wishes, it means a lot! Glad to be able to deliver a TR during these times as well for the community.
Slept in as you should on your birthday, and decided to just forgo breakfast for lunch at Hexx. Nice outdoor spot right in front of the fountains, can’t ever complain there.
Girlfriend got spaghetti, I went with a prime rib French dip. Definitely a good choice, haven’t had one in a while and that hit the spot for sure!
Gonna do a little Christmas shopping, a little self shopping, and stop by Reef again for a birthday gift.
Skybar tonight for some drinks and an app before our late dinner at SW Steakhouse.

Skybar is a definite recommend to anyone who likes good views and some good cocktails. A few different cocktails, the Stardust and the Flamingo Colada for the lady, and a few classic mules for me. Also some absolutely bomb sliders to tie us over til later.

Dinner at SW Steakhouse at Wynn was nothing short of amazing. Definitely would recommend, quite the level of customer service as well as quality. We both got filets, as well as some fries, and parmesan and blue crab gnocchi. I got the lake of dreams drink (vodka and rose) girlfriend got the copper queen (vodka champagne). Both exquisite, couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner!
Afterwards we headed downtown for a little late night stroll of Fremont. Checked out Circa for the first time, and ended up rolling some craps over at Fremont Casino. In for $100, was at over $400 at one point, ended up cashing $300 even out after tips. Some run good in craps is also welcome!
Birthday was pretty great all around. Great drinks and food, good craps action. Back to tournaments tomorrow!

A late start after a late night.. as one would expect on their birthday night in Vegas 
. Grabbed eggslut at Cosmo. Sandwiches were really good but I feel like the brioche bun was a tad large.
Late regging the Venetian $400 at some point before it closes. Shopping over at Fashion Show first, I’m terrible at actually deciding on what gifts to get for people, this has been a multi day process
Be back later with some Venetian MTT updates!

Venetian $400 started off great. Super late regged but still came in with a decent amount of BBs. Played a level and a half before end of reg break, and doubled from 40k up to 82k without a showdown.
A table change out of the loud and cold sportsbook soon followed, and with that came a cooling off period. Only hand worth playing at this table ends up being AKdd. We get action from the BB, before scooping the pot on the flop with a small cbet on a 2 diamond board.
Time at this table was short lived as I was then moved from the poker room over to the side by the escalators/live electronic games pit.. with about 75k at 3/1.5/3k and every stack at the table looking a lot healthier at the time, the time to GII was gonna happen soon.. two monster stacks sandwiched me in, with the right stack getting absolutely smacked with the deck.
With about 70k at 4/2/4K, we look down at AQhh after the monster stack to our right min opens. We rip it in, to get snapped by the other stack to our left who had lost a significant recent pot vs villain on right, but still covered. Monster stack to the right cuts the calling chips out, having us covered by a large amount. Eventually making the call after tanking it for 2 minutes, flipping AKcc while the other short stack to my left flips 44. Ace on the flop, nothing more of interest, and we’re out!
Dinner, maybe the late Southpoint tourney? We will see!

So, after busting Venetian, gf and I grabbed each a big greasy slice from Pin Up to sop up my busto mood. Always a good choice, even if you feel a little greasy afterwards.
After that I decided to lolreg the $150+$50A at Caesars, was too lazy for the trek to Southpoint, admittedly.
Just wanted to have a little fun but we ended up floating a short stack for a few double ups, all admittedly suckouts. The first being a bvb jam of JThh right into Aces in the BB. Q9x flop, K Bink on the turn, and the BB isn’t too happy about that one.
After a table change shortly after, we jam A3cc in the BB versus MPs open. He calls and rolls over ATo. Brick flop, 3 turn A river. Bink again.
After some orbits of jamming in decent spots, we find ourself a at the FT of 8 with 5 paid. I was on a 10-15bb stack the entire time, folding basically to the bubble as two shorter stacks existed. On the stone bubble we pick up Aces and get a triple from two big stacks.. nice! Not really much after to happen, eventually the bubble breaks, SB limps my BB, I ship it with QTss. A3o calls and holds. Min cash on the donkament FT!
So that’s that for tonight, we make our Venetian bullet back, and have some fun in the process. Back tomorrow for the Sunday tournament grind!

Well the Orleans tournament was.. to be honest rather unenjoyable. Registered in shortly before reg closing. Started with 40k and quickly spin it up to 80k.
As usual, in just about everything I’ve played so far, we start off decent and then get dealt tissues for long periods of time. Floating between 40-70k, picking up some small pots as well as losing some. For a long, long, long, time. At about 13bb we look down at A5ss on the button versus COs jam for less.. well it hasn’t been any better than this, ship it in to find myself up against 63o, and we double.
The tissue store reopens and I probably get a face card two or three times usually paired with a very low kicker offsuit. Yeesh.
Eventually at about 12bb we find KK.. and get no action, scooping blinds.. ugh. A few orbits later, we’re at about 10bb in the SB and ship it bvb into the BBs JJ... ouch.
Long time of just being card dead, to bust about 9 from the money.. the way she goes I guess, but as I said. Very boring experience for sure. Can’t win them all though!
Thinking of one more tonight late, and possibly an early one tomorrow since we don’t leave until the red eye Monday night. Time will tell, just depends how I’m feeling, that tournament was very fatiguing.

Quiet night with the gf, got some light food and drinks. Tried out one of Taco Bell’s Baja Blast Freezes with vodka on our way back to the hotel. Kinda pricey but at least they added a decent amount of alcohol
I played Caesars again, nothing really of note other than immediately coming back from add-on break to find AK and jam it into UTGs open who had AA.
We may end up staying another night, so may have another tournament or two to play. Will definitely keep it updated!

Guess you’ll be getting an extra day of TR!
Gf and I decided to stay an extra day, we had the hotel until tomorrow as it was and we could change our flights for a small fee.
So that changes the thought process for today/tonight! Going to hang with the gf and shop/eat for a while today, part of our reasoning for staying an extra day was to enjoy the space you get once the weekend crowd leaves. Seriously, it’s night and day difference!
Southpoint Deepstack tonight sounds like it will be the tournament of choice. Will keep updated with some more pics today
