So I’m down, but not out. Not feeling sorry for myself. That won’t be helpful if I have to decide whether to get KK in over a 4bet tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’m going to go to Red Rock. I’ve never been there before, so I want to check it out. My favorite Vegas Thai place Lotus of Siam has a new location there. And they have a 1/3 game, where I can get back to basics, and fundamentals.
Til tomorrow.
Chin up my friend! Do the opposite of what you indicated in the second paragraph.

In one of the previous trips, I stayed in an AirBNB that was owned by a Real Estate Agent, a very nice gentleman.
In the morning, during the social hour, we would chat up about all thing's poker. He indicated that if you are a local you visit the rooms like Red Rock or South Point instead of the strip properties.
He said, I was so hyped-up after our poker discussions, I went and played yesterday and lost a buy-in. I said sorry to hear that, how did that happen? He said he got it in against a player with a set on the flop and got flushed by the river. I told him you made the right decision to get it in against a draw, whether you are a local or a tourist, the variance in poker doesn't really discriminate.
My advice to you, enjoy the Thai food and don't flush the locals by river at Red Rock
