Played at the Rio and loved it. Made $274. So, lost $300 when my flopped nut flush hot rivered to a full house. Changed seat from 6 to 3 and the next random seat jackpot hit... you guessed it, SEAT 6!! OMFG!! But, the very next jackpot hit... MY SEAT!!! YEEESSS! $500 here we go. The rest of the session was unneventful. Played 11 hours and loved it. In for $600, cashed out for $874:



Next I saw the VISA logo and remembered that I can registet using my credit card. So did just that and added my $1500 to my cash roll which puts me at around $4100 now. I registered for the Monster Stack on Saturday June 22:



So yeah, great day. Gonna stick to the Rio. Loved the atmosphere.

Love Pin-Up Pizza

Nice hit! Do they have any auto shufflers for the Rio cash games?

Thanks!

You mean in the WSOP area? If so, most low stakes tables don't have auto shufflers nor USB charger ports. Some dealers were fast though.

Time rake games have automatic shufflers. All PLO games are time rake

Marylin's Cafe was awesome. Steak, eggs, jashbrown, and pancakes for just $10.99. I underestimated the walk there though:

Not much has happened besides being down 257 at the Bellagio(rivered set). Gonna check the pool tomorrow.

Keep it up, I am enjoying reading the trip report.

Thanks! Currently at the Strat. In for $300. Anxious for the Monster Stack.

I read in a TR I can't remember about Fukuburger. It was awesome, favorite burger by far!



The picture doesn't do it justice since my hands got greasy afterwards and I couldn't stop eating but trust me, it was delicious!

Lost $300 yesterday at the Strat. Was up $200 at one point though. The villain that crippled me played the following hand prior to my disaster:

Board was 4h 2d Ad 4d

Villain 3bet another player and was betting heavily into his opponent. On that turn villain bet 140 and after his opponent tanks folds AQ face up, villain shows AhKd.

So in my hand I had JJ with around 450 left. Villain 3bets me IP and I flat. Flop is the dream:

As Jd 9d

Hero Check
Villain Bets 40
Hero Call

Turn was the ugly 6d but since I put villain on the {AA,AQ+} range, I figured I was either way ahead or way behind.

Hero Check
Villain Bets 75
Hero Calls

River was a 7c

Hero Check
Villain Bets 140
Hero Calls
Villain shows AdQd for the turned nuts and wins.

Given villain's history I think the hand played itself unless I could've played better by check raising the flop (I was saving the check raise for the river if the 3rd diamond didn't showed up). Thoughts?

By the way, here's the green dog from Dirt Dog



It was good, but for the value I still prefer Marilyn's Cafe.

So I was at the Tropicana checking something out and decided to pkay some video poker while getting free drinks, just to kill time. In for $200, was doing ok when this happened:



MOTHER****ER!!! I'm down for the trip!!! Don't tease me like that godda****t!! Give me 2d or something but not the 9d!!

Sooo, kept playing since I was up at that point. And then the video poket machine went cold. I'm talking like really ice cold, a block of ice. No jack, small pairs didn't improve, high cards never paired, draws not getting there, etc. I was down $53 bucks which pissed me off since I wanted my guiness to be free when this happened:



YEESSS!! I hit the mother****ing royal!!! My first ever too! Cashed out up $947.50!



So now I'm heading to the topless pool at the Strat to relax. If I go up the tower tonight I'll post pics. Rungoooood!!!

Dude!!!!!

Nice hit man!!!

Thank you!!

I know right? Still can't believe it.

So, went to the radius pool as planned but I left after 20 minutes. The water was filthy. Felt sticky and all that. Then I headed to the Golden Steer on Sahara Avenue. It's within walking distance of the Strat.

French onion soup:



Filet mignon with mac and cheese:





Highly recommended! Gonna hit the tables now. Wish me luck and no bad decisions!

Nice job on the Royal! Golden Steer looks fun, I think I’ll make a point of going next trip.

Thanks! And Golden Steer is great. Take Uber to Marilyn's Cafe inside Tuscany Casino. The New York steak and eggs is worth it. I'm here right now before heading to the WSOP for cash games. I think I'll pkay the daily deepstack to warm up. Also, I made $340 yesterday at the Strat. Let's see how much I make today.

Don't know what happened but today's steak at Marilyn's Cafe was awful. Tough, devoid of flavor, just awful. Not like the one I had a few days back which was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Don't you all hate when a place is hit or miss? I'll give another chance another day and report back.

Have you done the steak special at Ellis Island? People rave about it. Think it’s like $8 or something maybe less with a players card. Sign up for a card think you’ll get free play, match play and maybe a stylish T-shirt.

Also are you staying at the Strat? I may need to check cash games there.

Looks like you got about 150 or so free Guiness's outta this deal..

Nice hit / nice pics / good luck

I'll give it a try. Playing 1/3 at WSOP:

Looking forward to see pics of stacks upon stacks!

Thanks for keeping us posted with short updates with a pic or two. Very easy to digest, good luck.
