Packed before it was light enough to take pics. This will have to do for now. Wheels up in 70 mins.

GL and post lots of pics!

Window seat on a quick Sw flight. My first gamble of the trip.

Diamond checking is the stone nuts. Comes with sangria. The diamond lounge had some pork skewers that were actually good so that 5k diamond in a day last year was worth it.

Octavius room at Ceasars is fine. Especially since it was 5 days at free ninety nine.

No 730 daily deepstack since they are running the giant. No one at any cage knows what they are doing. They tried to sign me up even when I advised them I wouldn't be back in July.

Signed up for a $575 mega that runs at 8pm instead.

Ran into Phil on the steps. I'm not a fanboy but hes famous enough my friends and family would appreciate the picture so i went for it.

Super standard play. There were only 9 entrants so it was basically a 575$ SNG.

At the 50-100 level there were 2 callers in MP and I raised 3.5x in the SB with 99. One caller to a 952 rainbow board. I check MP checks. Turn is 4. I bet 1/3 pot he folds.

I miss some flops with suited connectors and Broadway cards.

150-300 level 5k stack size. I'm on the button. One caller in MP who is sitting on 15k. I look down at K10 off and raise to 1100. MP calls. K74 flop two diamonds. He checks I bet 2200 leaving me obviously pot committed he looks at my stack and raises all in. I snapcall, villian shows Q7 no diamonds. Turn is a J. River is a Q.

Busto.

Went back to CP. Played craps laying the 4 and 10 on a cold table. Turned 600 into 1900. Then I got the Leon itch and played some VP. Burned through 1k in under 20 minutes playing too big and not hitting hands or a good bonus. After that I pumped in a few other rounds of hundreds. Picked up AA99 with a 8x multiplier and I almost wussed out and kept the two pair but I held AA. A 3200 hit would have been sweet but I feel like I did well considering I didn't get 4 aces. I think I ended up break-even-ish on VP but I can't tell since I was rage penetrating the machine with hundreds for a while. All this play should help my theo and continue the stream of free rooms with some minor offer to go along with it.

Went back to craps and looked for a quiet table. Bought in for 800, layed 4 and 10 again and cashed out for 1600 about 10 minutes later.

I forgot to count the exact cash in my wallet when I left the hotel but my estimate is up 1950ish on the day. Hopefully I dont spew it all back.

Tomorrow will be the venitian super stack. I'm also thinking the Bacchanal but it would be for brunch. Is that a waste? Should I wait for dinner?

Ivey? Hellmuth? Mickelson? Collins? Might as well post the picture since you mentioned it.

Also, enjoying all the photos but for some reason many are blurry.

Galfond, probably

IME photos are blurry because booze.

+1 to whoever asked what happened on the royal flush draw. It’s giving me anxiety not seeing the miss

I don't know any of those people. It was Dr. Phil obviously.

Sorry for the potato quality photos I am having a few beverages but I think it's mostly because I'm walking/moving when I'm taking them.

All the royal draws missed.

He was super nice and I'm fairly certain this was after he just busted which is never a great time for anyone.

Lol did Phil insist on taking the selfie with your phone?

Yes, he 100% did.

Woke up and spent $30 on an omelette that should have cost $10 at the americano cafe at Ceasars. I'd almost rather just spend $100 and at least have quality food.

I haven't been to the Venetian since they opened up the convention center for tourament poker. They try to make it feel less like an aircraft hangar but fall a little short. I play like garbage. Weak tight. I hit middle pair when everyone knows that's my range and fold to a 2/3 pot bet because there is one other player left and didn't feel confident enough to raise. Utg checks, cut off bets pot and utg calls and wins with A high.

I bleed off chips missing flops playing weak/tight and get my stack in with K10 on a k78 board. I get called by Q7. Turn brick and just like yesterday there is a Q on the river. I debate a reentry, mainly to get the 3 buyins needed for the VDS lucky hats but decide with the way I'm playing it's 100% paying $600 for a hat. Side note, I thought it was 2 events for a hat last year. Also, side note, if anyone is playing 3 events and wants to sell me a hat I'll pay more than the $30 in food credit you'd get for them.

I'm not a slots person at all but if I see the Simpsons slot I'll play it. Two pulls in I get a $80ish bonus. Should have cashed out then. Burn through all that plus another hundred. Head back to Ceasars and light all my profit on fire plus the money I allotted for Friday getting wrecked at BJ and craps.

Reload in my room with the rest of the money I have allocated today and took $1700 to the high limit room which apparently had a $500 minimum on all their BJ tables. First shoe I end up $300ish since my bets varied. Second shoe I think I ended down to $1300. Oh, but the third shoe... You know the shoes where every hand you have a 13, 15, 12 and the dealer ALWAYS has a face card and you just get crushed? The oppose happened. Every hand the dealer had a 4,5 or 6 showing. Sadly I didn't have double down hands but it didn't matter. Every card she hit was a face that busted her and when she had an 8 showing I had the 19. After the first 3 wins I bring my bet up to $800. Then after the next 3 wins I make my bet $1200. I must have won 12 out of 14 hands. I look down and see I have $6600 sitting in front of me. I pull everything back but $600 making my last bet, which lost and colored up. You can only cash in chocolate chips at the high roller cage which was literally 2 feet from my table. The cage women saw me win the chips. That didn't stop them taking 20 mins to cash me out which included my players card, ID, and a call to some mysterious person/location where the cashier repeated a series of numbers. Weird they don't do that when you sit down with the money. Only when you want it back.

Not content with what I had taken from CET I filled up 2 plates of fajitas in the diamond lounge and took a nap.

Woke up. Had a gps uber issue which resulted in me getting 7+ different drivers assigner but no one showing up. I cancel and lose $5. I almost get fed up enough to grab a cab but I restart my phone and head to the Rio for the $365 daily deepstack.

I actually play well but get crippled down to 5k from the 20k starting stack when I thought my middle pair turned into trips on the turn and made a huge bet on the river. I manage to spin up stack to 35k by level 9ish. The 1600-800 200 ante level. I make it 4800 with A10 off from from the hijack. Button makes it 15k with a 150k stack. Blinds fold. We are 90 seconds from the 1k-2k level and I think button assumes my range is wide so I 4bet jam for my stack. I don't have any fold equity with that bet but the button is priced in to call with worse. Button calls and shows QQ and the board bricks. I could have gotten away and folded it preflop. I'll study the spot when I get home. Not sure if that was a punt.

I look for a quiet craps table back at Caesars and lay $410 on the 4. Roller hits his point then 7 on the come out roll. I collect $200 and leave my bet up again (for another $10). He rolls the point at 8. Picks up the dice 5, 11, 8 and then his throw lands where it hits a placed chip on the pass line. You hear the hard clicking noise and see the die completely changes direction/momentum. From my craps play betting the pass line I already know the result and don't even need to look. Stickman announces 7 out and I win another $200 which gets me back my daily deepstack buyin.
