Day 1, con't
My dad doesn't hit anything on the machine next to me and decides to go to hi-limit. I want to partner with him on the full pay TDB UX machine they have, so that sounds good. We fire what ends up being the first of many 2k bullets- we're going 50/50 this time around bc I want a good share of any massive hits we get and now I've got the roll. So each time, it's 1k him/1k me.
We're near the end of the first bullet when we hit this-
Fire another bullet, no result. We fire a third bullet and I make-
I believe I've said this many times before- I really am the king of dealt "non premium" quads. The aces from earlier in the day notwithstanding, I feel like I get dealt premium very rarely.
The UX machine really dries up after that and I head back to "my" machine. At some point (can't remember exactly when), I get dealt
But end up blanking the draw. A few hands later, again comes-
And I blank again! Getting a little frustrating, but I certainly can't complain about how the aces have been today. I continue, and make
Aggh. So close- just need that kicker.
Getting some great draws, but nothing is materializing. I probably have stuck about 3k in the machine when AGAIN I get dealt-
With this as the result-
FINALLY.
That erases what I LOL put into the machine over that time period, with maybe a little white meat left over.
At some point, my dad had come on back over and we were playing side by side, me 1$ credits and him alternating between 1 and 2$. He shoves in a good chunk of change, but eventually makes both 4 aces/kicker and a royal from 3 cards, both at the 2$ denom so good for 16k. I ask him how much he's up for the day and he says "about 2k". LOL.
It's dinner time and I'm starving. Dad isn't hungry, so it's just my mom and I for Lakeside.
View coming down the escalators to Lakeside.
I think we go to Lakeside too often. Anything gets old if you keep doing it and there's only so many restaurants at the Wynn. Since the meals are comped and my dad has a hard time getting around the Wynn is essentially the only option. I know, first world problems but I had a tough time deciding on food. I decided to change it up and got beef tartare, the seafood linguine and a side of broccolini. Mom got the dover sole (no pics), it's about a 7/10 to me.
Beef tartare. Pretty good overall, 7-8/10. Needed a bit of salt is all.
Seafood pasta. Honestly a 6/10. I'm not a huge fan of shellfish, so the mussels/clams held little interest for me. The pasta and sauce was good but if they had a meat pasta option I definitely would have grabbed that instead.
Broccolini. A 9/10 for what it is- they were perfectly cooked and seasoned.
After dinner, I link up with my dad again. During the afternoon session, both of us got dealt trip 2, 3 or 4 several times but nothing ever converted. Here's another example-
We're commenting on the fact that "the little guys" aren't getting it done, and that aces are basically making my whole day. As if on cue, a flurry of hands arrive-
Unexpected, but not going to turn it down.
One w/kicker and one without!
Sure!
Jesus yes keep 'em coming!
Unfortunately after that flurry, things cool off. I think I stuck about 3k back in the machine. It's now about 10pm and I'm pretty tired. Better head off to bed, lock in a huge win and fight tomorrow.
View just out of the elevators- my home for the next few days...
Day 1 result- can't remember exactly. ******ly big, obv- maybe 27k?
Day 2 coming soon...
