Las Vegas - Days Four & Five
Day four started in superb fashion. We started off hitting the Old Vegas parts, and took some cool photos. After hanging out there for the day and then eating this fabulous meal. It was time to gamble.
We decided to hit the B once again for some 5/T action. This day did not go as well as some of the other days unfortunately. Got some sweet chip porn to show for my struggles.
In our main interesting hand we see an open to 30 from UTG and a 3bet to 110 from a nitty female foreign reg In MP. We look down at K
K
and decide to flat in the CO. Everyone else folds and we go heads up to a A75 flop. She wagers 120, and we call. The turn is the 8
and this time she fires 320. I can see folding here, but we decide to call again. The river is another brick, the 2
and she bets 330. This seems to me like a thin value/blockerish type bet. We decide to turn kings into a bluff and jam for 1020 total. After a 3 minute tank she finally decides on a call with AK. If she’s not folding AK there then that’s a terrible bluff I guess.
After a few more hours of play it was time to head back to the room. We were unable to make many hands and bled a bunch of chips. We were ready to see what day 5 had in store for us.
Day Five:
It was time to take a break from the midstakes streets today, and begin a new opportunity. My lady, (beast trip photographer) and I decided to sit down in the 1/2 streets at flamingo. We had a good time playing recreationally, but we were unable to win some money making it 3 losing sessions in a row!
After that, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed over to the beautiful, new T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights game was a great time and it was an awesome way to end the night, even though they did not pull out the win.
Time for one more day of Poker action, and we head home at 10PM today
Gonna post some more pics of last night soon.

Las Vegas: The Finale
The final two days were sort of a blur. After playing some 1/2 at the Flamingo to just unwind and chill. At 7:00 it was time to hit the Stars vs Golden Knights game, which was a blast.
The next morning it was time to use up all of the comps gathered during the trip. Ended up begin able to get two tickets to the bellagio buffet which feels like a win to me. Being there just after the robbery felt a bit... odd.
After breakfast it was time for the last Poker session of the trip. Ended up punting off a cool 1k in a good 2/5 game at the Wynn. The only hand worthy of note came when there were two limps, and a raise to 25 from the BTN. The SB folds and we make it 80 to go with A
K. The raiser calls and we go to a flop of 7
5
3
. We continue for 65 and he calls. The turn is the T and we wager again, this time 230. Villain calls again and we see a 2 on the river. It goes check check and we lose to QQ.
All in all it was another amazing trip!
Highlights from the trip:
Playing with Neeme
Golden Knights Game
Awesome Food/Sights/Vibes etc
Purchased some marijuana
Made some $$ in the Pokers
Can’t wait to be back soon!

so the potential nut flush. The problem was the way you described her she probably wasn't going to fold regardless.Excellent trip report. Well done sir!

Q which is literally like one hand. I did not take this into account when I made the play, I said "lol well she cant have the nuts! JAM!"
