OK guys, the start of my first trip report.
A bit about me
I'm a 32 year semi-serious poker player who has been playing the game for 15 years. I've only in the last few years started to take poker more serious. I have a full time job / career and usually can only play on weekends, I am a loser online until I peeled it all the back to 2nl which I beat comfortably over 50k hands, and am currently break even at 5nl over 60k hands (Zoom) so I obviously have a lot to learn. I feel like I'm a far better live player than online, I consider myself fearless with a good instinct. My weaknesses are probably being too loose in general, I tend to open everything because I think everyone is a fish at my stakes.
Here is my current stats from this year:
Here is my graph from this year:
Vegas plan:
I arrive on the 13th of June around midday, my actual plan is to check in at my hotel, and get straight to the Wynn to late reg for the $1100 $1.5m GTD. It's an uber straight from the airport job. It's a long flight but I'm staying up the night before, have paid for premium economy and extra leg room, will take a diazepam and I'm hoping I can get at least 6 hours sleep on the plane!
I'll be looking to get in to the best $1/2 / $1/3 / $2/5 and POSSIBLY some $5/10 NLHE games, stakes will depend how I feel.
I do play PLO sometimes but I will probably focusing on NLHE for this trip. Who knows, you might get a sweat in a deep run for the Wynn Classic $1.5m GTD!?
I'm mainly a cash game player but have had some scores in tournaments both live and online. I won the Aria daily (chopped it for $4k each) 2 years ago, last year I came to Vegas I didn't play any tournaments as I was there mainly for my cousins wedding. Not a huge score I know, I am a recreational player after all, but feel I could mix it in bigger tournaments.
I'm also known to degen at times so I can give you updates of that too. I like to get drunk (in general) so I'll be doing a lot of that in Vegas too, the trip report will be fun as my trips always are, depending on if I can stay coherent and able enough to update it regularly!
You can expect lots of:
I'll do my best to make this as exciting / interesting as possible. It's my first report so bear with me!

Still running well in Vegas.
Call a raise in the small with 88 2 other callers. Flop J98 2 hearts I bet 2 callers. Turn A I bet 1 caller. River 7h. I check fold to 100.
2 hands later QQ I make it 10, small makes it 35, I make it 100 as he has 200 left and I'm never folding him, he shoves has KK flop K and I river a Q too.
Dunno why pics take sideways
