Is that the line for security? Going up the escalators? If so wow that is by far the longest I've ever seen it. I've always gotten up the escalators before the line started

Great meeting you sir and thanks for the great report. Too bad I was so dead tired due to the combination of time difference, IPAs and long sessions.

Before midnight nr 1 Finnish player cashed out like 1.1k. Then he had to do some urgent work for three hours. After that he went back to play and just one hour ago cashed out for 3.8k. So the game turned out to be pretty good I would say.

River A doesn’t change much imo. He isn’t just calling your raise pre with AK.

He could have KQ or KJ and perhaps K10 suited that he decided to overvalue. You have the K blocker though.

He is either representing a set or a stone cold bluff. Nothing else is very likely.

The main decision was on the turn imo. If you are calling a big raise on the turn, your plan should be to check call most rivers.

Thanks for the report! Glad you had fun -- coming back a little up/down is never a bad thing, especially with all the $1/$2 drinks!

Do you or anyone know if that Flamingo PLO runs in the off season (not WSOP)? I've never played PLO in a casino and would like to give it a shot and 1-1 has to be the lowest level possible which is still probably beyond my skill level.

Yes it does, but not all the time. I've been there several times when there was a list of four or so, but never a game. They would tell me it ran the two prior days or whatever.

Just watch Bravo.

Nailed it on my 2nd flight.. wing seat with empty space in front led to solid 2 hour nap.

Southwest doesn't assign seats, so felt very lucky to snag this *one* seat being the 42nd person to board.

Yes, but within a minute it moved quickly and got upstairs to the regular waiting line. Apparently they only have one line of security/x-ray machines until 4:00 am (I got there about 330) - line flows much faster after 4.

I dunno man... I think my hand very much looks like AK.

I think it would usually be a giant mistake for him to bluff this river. I think I could've maybe got away on the turn, but the river... it really really probably felt like I hit top 2 on the river (which I'm sure he was hoping... just can't see solid players bluffing in that spot, and he definitely struck me as a solid/winning player, as many young 2-5 Euros are. Annoying to play against them haha.)

Welllll maybe I was being a little results oriented after one bad session at the end.

As long as this isn't your 'job', then I suppose, F--- it, play drunk if you want to. I do think that those of us with solid fundamentals can still 'win' or at least break even when drinking, as long as you do as I do and tighten up a little bit preflop..

It's just frustrating looking back on some spots, especially the last session, where I missed some plays that were obvious - a couple times when I could've easily bluffed the old dopey guys based on the board/hand/etc. And that K9 hand sigh...

But - I barely drank that last session, it was probably more related to utter exhaustion.

Very good TR thanks. And I had no idea you could walk through Caesars to get to Rio

Can confirm the Flamingo 1-1 PLO was a good game but unfortunately I ran like ass and dumped $400 through a combo of run bad and playing too many junk hands when they were cheap.

No joke! What are the odds I'd see him at the Flaming at 6:30 in the morning..? That felt good.. Most humans are cool. Sure, all are flawed, but most are good people.
A few weeks ago we had a thread about talking at the table. I got reamed for saying it's good for the game but also good for your life education to meet so many different people. Most 2+2ers don't understand that; most good cash game players do.

Enjoyed your thread.
