Day 3 part 2
OK, I'm up about 80k for the trip. Still have a shot at the slot tourney. One dealt 4AWAK away from running the Holy Grail table of dealt hands. If there was ever a time for 5$ credits, it's now. And if I get dealt 4awak... 200k!!!
Need these to stay alive, but I'd better be careful. Given I can donk off 2000-3000 credits at the 1$ level in no time flat, at this level I could give back 10-15k!
That is what I'm talking about!
BANG!
That was fun, but ultimately too stressful. 5$ credits is just too big... I'm quite aware that if I hit a cold patch 25-30k evaporates in a flash. Forget that. I ended up "only" taking 500 credits from that venture, so 2500$ to the good in my 5$ adventure. I step down to 1$ credits again, give a bit back then realize I need to grab my tourney credentials from the room- it's time to run like god in the rebuy round!
I meet up with my mom and nanny in the tourney room. I go first, and post a crappy score. Damn. It's disappointing to find out in 5 min that not only am I not winning anything in the rebuy, I'm likely not getting anything great from the tourney either. Nanny goes for mom and does better than me, but still not enough. And like that, our tourney is over. I'm pretty sure my mom will get the base prize (1k free credit), but I'm hopeful I can crack top 20, so 2.5k FC?
Now we've got no agenda until dinner at Mizumi teppanyaki. Back to the VP machines!
Twice!
I decide to give craps another try... see if I can grab another flag. Of course, I come in for 5k so it shouldn't be that hard; even a 1$ winner will work
I'm playing with another person and it's almost the opposite of my last session- I roll well and he rolls poorly. Of course, I didn't roll nearly as well as the other guy did in the previous session, and things turned earlier. So I got up a decent amount initially, then just steadily gave money back... I'm calling this. Gonna lock up yet another small win, I've tipped the dealers a decent amount, I'm good.
In for 5, out for 5.6k.
I head back to VP, and it's official- BOTH mom and I only got the base prize. Boo. OK, time to use that up.
Start.
End. Just about 80% payback.
It's time to get changed for dinner. Phew. I played a TON and held my own. Not exactly sure how things turned out in the afternoon but pretty sure I was up a bit.
Here's where I'm at, up 82k ish?
Mizumi
Nothing new to see here, but I took some good pics. We all get teppanyaki, but they've added some new set appetizers to the menu.
Hamachi, 7/10. Pretty interesting combo of flavors.
Snow crab egg roll, 6/10. Decent but not great.
Pork belly with figs, carrots. 4/10. Pork belly was good, but the other flavors were meh.
Between all of us we got snow beef, Kobe, scallops, sea bass and tons of shrimp. Everything at least 8/10. So full afterwards.
Dessert is mandatory, so... why not?
Dessert also 8/10, all one bite I ate. Too full.
I'll finish the TR with the next post. To be continued!
Day 3 so far- +85k
Overall- +82k
