In the afternoon I headed over to the Venetian. With an ulterior motive. More food based than poker based. On the way I swung through Falmingo and the poker room was packed. I saw PokerKraut dealing and told him I watched his vlogs. Then I went and looked at Harrahs and it was packed too. I finally got to Venetian where I played a dismal 3ish hours of 1/3. I was totally and completely card dead. My table was both passive and aggressive but I had no cards. My best hand was QQ. Best player raised to 30 and I called. So did 3 others so a big pot! Flop was J high and Mr. Aggressive goes all in for about 150 and good played initial raiser snaps. I woulda snapped if initial raiser folded. I knew he could at least beat AJ which means he could beat QQ. I thought for a while because the odds were so good but I just knew he had the goods and I folded. Turns out he had KK and Mr. Aggressive had air. In those 3 hours I folded almost everything and dragged maybe 3 small pots. It was time for dinner and I cashed out -$74.
Did I mention dinner? Since I am playing afternoon tourneys the next 2 days it is hard to plan on a special meal because the optimistic part of me thinks I will be going deep and grabbing a quick bite late. In reality I will probably be free by 3pm
Anyway I wanted to grab a quality hunk of meat and my favorite place to do that is this place.
It was awesome. I had the bone in ribeye and steak fries. The steak was absolutely perfect and the fries at Delmonico are the best I have ever had. I have had the baked potato and fingerling potatoes in the past but the fries are just too good to bypass.
I walked around a little to walk off the meal and wandered back to Bally's. I played 1/2 for a couple of hours and continued my card dead streak. I folded almost everything but did make 2 decent hands that got folded too when I value bet the river. I also had a couple small wins and blind steals but in the whole 2 hours I never showed down a hand and ended up winning $54.
Really tired and about to turn in even though its early Vegas time. I crushed my 10 mile goal putting in 14.6 today but Vegas is the easiest place in the world to rack up walking miles. Tomorrow I am playing the $140 1pm at Aria and no idea what else other than another nice morning hike and a special breakfast.
