Update
Finishing off Friday night session--full house hand was high water mark for the evening. I played for a couple more hours and rarely got past a flop. Ended up -$200 for the session.
Saturday morning we took the car and went to The Egg And I on Sahara. Solid breakfast with stuffed French toast and relleno omelet. Forgot to take pics, but portions and prices were both appreciated.
After breakfast, both of us played the Caesar's 10 am tourney. First four hands for me are: AQ, 88, AQ, AK. Never hit a flop, but took down all four without showdown. Flopped a set with JJ from the big blind and chipped up to my high point of 36 k in the first hour. They broke our table and I got sat to the right of a guy on an impressive sun run. He won eight pots in a row, took out five players, and ALWAYS had the goods. AA and QQ twice each over the course of about six hands.
At this point, I'm looking at 83 off types of hands, seeing paint occasionally, but always with huge raises in front of my action. Down to 18k (1000/2000) when I get two red sevens. Aggressive player raises to 8k and I jam. He calls, and I'm up against A10 ss. Flop comes KQx, turn K andriver, of course, pairs the board queen. A high takes it and I'm out. MDM played, too, went out with flopped straight vs backdoor flush draw that got there.
MDM wanted to do some shopping, so we went out to South outlets and Summerlin, with a stop at BF Sushi for a snack.
. This guy was awesome.
We got three rolls and some sashimi. 8/10 overall for food, 10/10 for service and value.
Poker Thoughts For the most part, I've been happy with my play, though my results are just ok. Currently -550 tournaments and +370 1/3. I've been ramping up my aggressive play, especially in cash, working on post-flop betting sizes and reading my situation. Variance has been high in tournaments.. In other news, the sun is hot. I would welcome feedback on any of the hands I've posted.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Heading to the pool, then pit extravaganza tonight, followed by more late night cash game. Saturday Dinner and evening coming later
