Left Aria down $800 after a couple of small losses and then the following hand played out:
On the straddle for $6. We are playing 5 handed. Middle position makes it $20, sb calls and I look down at the best hand ever created: AA. Raise to $75, which only original raiser calls. Flop is K high, something like K72r maybe? I lead for 140, he calls. Turn is a brick, 3 maybe? I put him allin for his last $250 or so which he calls. He shows KJo, and someone says they folded a king. River is the one outer king and I throw up in my mouth while walking to the cage to cash in my last $160 or so.
You all know where this is going right? Right. Take $500 to a very lively $50 3/2 game at Aria, and after some ups and downs (mainly ups) the shoe turns super hot and again the day is saved:
Celebrated with the best breakfast I have ever had in Vegas so far, chilaquiles at Aria:
10/10, best food so far this trip.
Then went over to Park MGM to see if I could get lucky once again and yes, my room is ready at 7 am! Absolutely amazing!
This means that my free play is active too, turned it into:
$80 profit, horrible payback really but free money is free!
Now I’m all checked out at Paris and in the new room already:
Will update with plans later on, I’m not entirely sure what to do with the day (besides work of course). I don’t really feel the motivation to grind 1/3.
Stats so far, it’s a bit blurry but approximate:
Poker: +$87
Gambling: +$5700
