Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! I have no illusions of being a poker crusher. Just ran like the sun for a lot of that session. Always better to be lucky than good!

glad to hear you had a great session. must be nice

About to head downtown to try my luck again at craps and to qualify for the Fremont Casino Dice Club.

Quick recap of last night. Ended down $300 at Caesars due to a combo of bad play, being card dead, and running into the top of the range of a maniac in a couple hands.

Decided to cash in a couple of duplicate chips from my collection at Linq and Cromwell. Decided to play poker at Flamingo and found a bit more success and won $180 to pare my Caesars losses. Was falling asleep at the table so called it a night at 3am.

Also, Caesars room was a big step down from the Vdara one. They ha d me in a corner room that just feels very dated. But it’s comped and I’m barely in the room, so it’s all good.

Also grabbed a slice of pizza last night from Difara-was just okay and would rate it a 5.8.

Hopefully I’ll run a little better at craps this morning.

Nice hand and great session result

Just have to point out however that your 3-bet sizing is way too small. I'm super surprised that the last two players folded, given the great prize they got. I would have made it $55-$65, depending on your position, and there are for sure people out there that would advocate for even bigger.

Finally some craps run good. In for $500 at Plaza.

Specialty flair cocktail at Circa, hat tip to Hawaii Craps Shooters.

Circa is pretty impressive. Very clean and fresh casino. Sportsbook is pretty awesome with the massive screens abs stadium seating.

Unfortunately craps didn’t treat me well as I lost $270 to more than offset the $220 I won at Plaza. On to the next casino.

Marginal win at Golden Gate. In for $500, out for $560.

Pics from Fremont Street.

Got smoked at Fremont trying to qualify for the Dice Club. Bought in for $600 and lost $277 in 10 minutes. I think I may banned from membership for life-ouch.

Sitting down with $500 in the Golden Nugget 1-2 game.

GogoGolden Nugget!

Thanks. Appreciate the critique-I’ll definitely consider increase my 3B sizing. I was hoping to get 1 caller, but your point is a fair one that I may have opened the door for too many players to call.

Thanks. Am down ~$150, mostly because of 2 hands. One where I flopped a combo draw, bet out on all 3 streets and couldn’t get someone to fold 2nd pair. Another where I called down too light myself. Gonna try and clean up my play.

Interesting little tidbit-there’s a woman at the table who I beat out of a big pot on Thursday at Planet Hollywood. Don’t think she was happy to see me-haha.

Ended up losing $240 at the Golden Nugget and decided to try my luck in craps again, this time at the Downtown Grand. They surprisingly had $5 tables and I played there for little over an hour, winning $105. Forgot to take pics-sorry. I liked that casino-also had a clean/fresh feel to it. Only negative about playing there was that some ahole playing craps before had apparently stuck their gum right under the railing. I was the unfortunate soul to get that stuck on my shirt. Hope whoever did it lost all their money!

Was also able to get some gifts for the family, so felt good about that. Heading back to Caesars now to change and then heading to the Wynn to play poker.

Quick gambling totals so far:

- am down $204 overall (not including expenses)
- have amazingly gambled for just under 30 hours
- am up $545 playing poker
- am down $749 in all other gambling, with $735 of that loss from craps

I haven’t yet tabulated all the expenses (food, drinks, Uber/taxis, resort fees, flight, etc.), but I’m guessing it will close to $1K.

So I have some work to do tonight. Think I’m going to stick to poker from now until I leave tomorrow. Trip has flown by and been an absolute blast.
