MuckPls and BigWhale vs Vegas (01/13-01/27) - Page 14 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

One final update for tonight. After winning 600 at Aria I had some food at Park MGM and after hit a blackjack table for $500 and had THE SICKEST shoe of my life. Cashed out $1200 profit in like 10 minutes.

And with that ladies and gentlemen and non-binaries WE ARE OUT OF THE HOLE!

One wonders what would happen if you took $1000 to blackjack instead of $500.

Well, ****. If you're only up $6300, hardly worth mentioning.

Nice run, looking forward to next TR!

Obviously amazing results and I’m very very happy with it, especially after the mini disaster I had a couple of days ago. Was 100% sure I’d leave Vegas with $0.

On another note, 18 hours later landed back home in Malta. Back to reality!

I was in Vegas for the first week of the WSOP during my May TR in 2022, I even played a deepstack event (that I obviously bricked).

I might play something smaller if the schedule allows it, but I have grown to really hate MTTs over the years so definitely won’t play more than one.

It’s a bit funny because I’ve always been a tournament player, guess Vegas over the years broke me haha

Can't miss twice in a row! Plus, Euros win the ME all the time.

Whale with the bracelet, Muck with second. With some semi-shady backroom deal-making, ofc.

The good thing about the WSOP is there are lots of other series around and you can find a decent $400 tournament somewhere. I like the ones at the Orleans.

Nice run MuckPls!

If all your shopping is paid by Vegas, is March too early in that regard?

Did we hear how you turned 1K in to 5K+? I think I might have missed it.

Way too soon for March. I have a ton of work until June as our product is coming out of beta in the coming weeks.

Not too much about the 1k to 5.5k run, was mostly standard hands up to 3k and then I played one of my biggest hands ever. Had $300 on one box, got 8-8 vs a 5. Split and get 8-8 on both. Split those two too and all four splits got 2-2-3-3. So all four doubles face down obviously and dealer busted for a $2400 hand. Was so insane, almost had a heart attack by the time the dealer busted.

hey Muck, Whale...just grinded through the entire report - not sure why, but I haven't been in LVL in Jan. maybe because I don't think I'll make Vegas this year

thank you both for the effort you put into the report - it was an excellent one and it really got my juices flowing and
made me start thinking about finding a way to get there. Most importantly though, it seemed like you both had fun trips.

wowee. were there other people at the table? That would have caused a scene I'd have thought?

Yes there were 2 other guys at the table. A very very drunk Asian guy and another who had just joined the table a few minutes before. Funny thing is, 30 minutes before I was down to my last $100 chip, absolutely hating life and saying to myself that I will most likely go home with $0. And then we caught some heat, then the double happened and I snap cashed out immediately headed to the airport despite having over 4 hours left to my flight. I was like I’m not risking it this time!

Landing in Vegas 12th of April and staying until 29th of April. PLO friend who I’ve mentioned a couple of times in previous threads will be there at the same time and we’ll be sharing rooms for 2 weeks.

I was initially going to book June but I had 3 general problems:

1, WSOP and tourneys will make cash game waiting lists very long and annoying

2, it’s probably going to be pretty hot already

3, I have a couple of other plans for the summer

Anywho, will put together a new thread when the time comes. Who knows, maybe BigWhale joins too.
