Excellent start my man. Glad to see another Video Poker degen in Vegas.

Just so you know, you can change the denomination of the VP games you play as well as the typ of game you play on most machines. In the pic you posted you are playing at the $2 level, which is $10 a hand. If you are just killing time and getting drinks, you can change that to $.25 cents which is $1.25 per hand. If you meant to play that high, more power to you, and good luck.

Most likely the first one.

Thank you Cowboy!

Yes, I noticed that but what can you do. Degens gonna degen. Last $200 I played with $25 a round and didn't win a single hand.

For some reason I'm not sleepy anymore so I think I will go downstairs to play some real poker if there's no line. If there is then maybe some more VP but with smaller bets.

I thought 500 Euro notes were only for drug dealers

That room at Ballys actually looks really decent. That cant be a regular room?

I ended up playing I think 7 hrs at 1/2.

Had some decent chip pron:



But pretty much after this got it in A2 vs AK @ A23 board which run A23JJ.

It was fun though. I had a maniac image and got new friends and apparently going out tomorrow with some mexicanos.

Of course it would have been nicer to go to bed with 5k instead of 0k but what can you do. Have been awake I think for 38 hrs and had some 20 drinks at the table so wtf.

I have to say this game was the softest I have seen in my 10 years of playing poker so can't be too worried. I have never run so bad as in this table and still was winning before the final hand. Can't really see how I could be losing after playing 3 weeks in these games so looking forward tomorrow.

I don't know. Jubilee 21st floor.

Now some sleep before going out with Nelson & Rubino. Wtf again.

edit. I take this post away, too much strategy.

Also, maybe those 8 vodka red bulls were not the best choice as I'm still not sleepy at all.

OK I have to say yesterday was a little bit crazy so I need to chill today.



Good way to start the day. US national dish cheezbrgr w/ some bloody mary. This was at Burger Brasserie and it was a great burger!

After this I went to grind some drinks at Video Poker. I ran my $60 to $500 with two straight flushes in a row but lost $300 after that and took away $200. I will grind these machines until I get a royal flush. I have been one away for like 4 times.

I should have played $1.1k tourney at Venetian but didn't really feel like playing so skipped it. Now a little nap and then some cash game action.

Still alive?

Yes, thanks for asking.

Yesterday I was at the Paris' pool and was reading Zlatan Ibrahimovic's book (Swedish football player) and two Swedish guys came to talk to me. Turned out they were really cool dudes so we bought a bottle of vodka and went to their room to play some 5-card PLO and watch the NHL. I think I won like $1k and it was really fun.

After that I went to Bally's 1/2 NLHE and lost again. I think I need to bluff a little less at these tables than at home because the players are not so good. If there's a good spot to bluff it's so hard not to use it but I think I have learned my lesson though and will nit it up a little.

Today I will play my first tournament:

DSE IV - Event #22 - No Limit Hold'em
Monday, Nov 10, 2014
12:00pm
Late Reg. – 4:30pm
$400 No Limit Holdem
Deepstack Extravaganza IV - 2014


At Bally's table this big ass Mexican guy was sitting next to this drunk ass Bulgarian guy who said someone has stolen money from him when he went to bathroom. The floor didn't believe it and they didn't even check the cameras. Then this Mexican guy changed seats next to me and was constantly grabbing my chips as a "joke". I always noticed it so he just laughed it away. I don't know if I want to play at Bally's anymore. It's a little bit sketchy room and the dealer said people get stabbed or shot more than you think. I don't know if she was joking but if you get stabbed I think it's more probable at Bally's than let's say Bellagio. I raise a lot of hands and Americans seem to think that's rude and almost get angry at me. This is the biggest cultural difference so far. I don't want to get stabbed or shot but can't really stop raising those limpers either.

e. Didn't mean to say everyone's angry or anything. 90% of players are really nice and I have had a blast so far at the tables. It's still a little sketchy that they don't even check the cameras for claimed thefts.

If they're getting angry at you for raising too much than you know you're in a great game You won't get stabbed or shot that dealer is an idiot. Just play your game and have fun. Great trip report keep it up +1

Scared/broke/bad players complain about raising. I play crazy euro style, so I know the feeling. I have been neither stabbed nor shot.

I like your stories. Good luck!

Thanks bros!

I'm not really worried about being stabbed or shot. Just saying I would rather play at a friendly table.

Playing the Venetian tourney now. Not much happened during the first two hours. Made one triple barrell bluff and got away with it. Everyone's pretty solid, no bad players. Looking forward to open it up now when the antes come to play.

Venetian looks cool and I think I will stay here for next week. They even have PLO, woohoo!

I would guess that the dealer was alluding to the shooting that happened in Bally's last October.

Shoved TT to a raise 30bb deep and got KO'd against AK. I was quite happy I busted out because I was so tired that couldn't keep my eyes open. I think I'm getting old as four days of drinking is too much. Next time I will definitely late register and skip at least 4 levels.

After this I went to an Asian Noodle place and ate half of this huge bowl of noodles. The image doesn't do justice for this dish but you could easily feed a Chinese family with it.




I felt like **** so I texted my gf how much I miss her and of course she got pissed off because it's 4am there and I woke her up. Such a bad run.

Now my plan is to fall asleep watching the November 9. Tomorrow's a new day.

Yet.

OP, I've seen as many skeevy players at Wynn or Bellagio as Ballys. One thing about poker in Vegas is every casino with a poker room has low-limit NL, so bottom of the barrel players can be found anywhere.

I'm surprised you haven't tried PLO at venetian or Aria yet. Has anyone mentioned Bravo to you?

Yes. I have tried to play some NLHE because I haven't played it in like 5 years and needed some training for the tournaments. I will play PLO at Venetian tomorrow.

One time I found a good deal for the Elara (Hilton Grand vacations) on Expedia and stayed there. I had the exact same view from the opposite side of that massive parking garage.

Very nice trip report. I'm a Eurodonk myself getting slightly depressed over the short days and the rain. Quite jealous right now.

LOL

Such a beat. Came to the Venetian and the PLO table is dead.

Now playing 1/2 NLHE w/ my friend mr. Greyhound. Plan is to grind a decent shopping roll for tomorrow.



Grattis to my fellow idiots on making 1 & 2 in ME!

I accidently broke the table.



Ok this new table is a crazy euro/brazil table. Might see some fireworks!

I liked this EUR/BRA table a lot but unfortunately it broke real fast. I just left the scene and went to home (Bally's) to grind some drinks becaude I wasn't super drunk.

I mean, how bad can a man run? The one time I don't play with $5 bet I get those 4 aces.



After this I change to normal $5 and get two super strong Jack & Cokes and these nines.



I guess it's time to take the monies and go to sleep. I think I won a couple of pair of shoes for the lady so mission accomplished for the night.

Sweet chip-porn ITT.

Keep bringing the manies this side of the Atlantic!

Wp Sir.

Nice TR so far, please continue
