I was hesitant about starting this because I’m not sure I’ll have the will to keep it up the whole way through, but hopefully it’ll make the trip more fun in the meantime anyway.
Got a buddy’s bachelor party in the middle of this and my brother’s coming down for a week, so staying kind of all over the place. Will be playing 1-2/3, some 2-5 and as much Flamingo PLO as runs.
Started yesterday with a nice cash session at CP, where I ran pretty pure and ended up $1k.
Hopped into the Giant at 7pm. Had a mostly very nice table. Let myself get angleshot in an early level. We had a very new dealer, on a board of 9TJ8hh, the other player bet 3200, and I flipped out a 5k and 2 100’s (with 78hh) I knew this was gonna end badly when the player insta-called the floor. While we were waiting, fellow next to me asks what the objection is, so I say, loud and proud:
“Our friend in Seat 1 is angleshooting. He, along with everyone here, knew exactly what I was doing. But his life must suck, and he’s been blessed with a miracle turn for his Queen, so he’s going to have the floor rule that I’ve raised so he can then go all in with his straight.”
Yes I’m petty. Yes it was awkward. I quite enjoyed it. Seat 1 just sat quietly, knowing better than to argue.
Once I was forced to raise, the jam wasn’t for much more, so I obviously called off and couldn’t hit a heart. Shortly after the first break we were on fumes...
Hit a miracle quintuple-up all in pre with QT on 853Q3 to get back to something playable. Won a bunch of flips/standard stuff and eventually got to witness some amazing ICM punting near the bubble. Stone bubble, with one player at our table holding less than an ante, SB jams, B.B. calls off his last 6BB’s. A5 v KT, both offsuit. A5 holds. While he’s waiting for confirmation that he bubbled (split it with someone else), the BB asks me “that must’ve looked pretty stupid, huh”? I didn’t want to lie to the kid, or rub it in, so I just shrugged.
After the last break of the day, we had turbo hour. I said the words all-in at least 6 times in the next 2.5 levels. We ran it up...
And then busted AK < TT. Out for $706. Gave a buddy from home a 10% sweat for fun, so sending him some cash this morning was cool. I think he had more fun than I did.
In PH now playing cash, and wondering why in a resort that cost hundreds of millions to build, they’ve got 24 inch standard def TV’s all over the place. Makes watching the game kind of painful.
Anyway, that’s catch up. Hope y’all enjoy. One of my friends had her dog run off yesterday and they found her today, so everything feels like a freeroll right now. In for $400

I don’t mean to be a bad sport about this, but here’s the update....
Just don’t really feel like typing up “we opened to 12 with QTs, flop 679r, we cbet flop and turn, got called by A6, which then won at showdown” fifty-seven times. In today’s session I made one flush, which used the 7c in my hand and 4 on the board, and involved no post-flop bets. I made one set, middle set on KQ4, and got two folds to the cbet. I made one straight, which won me ~$40. I made no two pairs. Biggest pot I dragged was < $100. It’s a miracle the damage isn’t worse.
It’s also just a miserable way to lose, at least set over sets (which featured prominently in my last downswing) are exciting and relatively easier to get over as “variance”.
Going to play the PH 8-game tomorrow for a change of pace.
