Thanks, I'll see if I can check it out.

So I busted. Had Ac9h and this guy that has folded to 3bets like 5 times in a row opens again for 4.5k. There's another limper and I have 50k so I shove. He calls and limper folds. He had AA. My mind also told me to fold too but this guy was folding to 3bets. I think I could've made it 12k ajd then fold to the shove. Oh well, next time. Now time for cash.

Edit: Blinds were 1.2k - 2.4k with 2.4k BB ante. This guy was folding to 12k 3bets so in hindsight, I made a bad shove. But the hand right before that I tried it and got 4bet so the temptation to shove was high. Bad shove IMO. What do you all think?

Edit 2: Despite all that, losing to a mistake and bad luck makes it encouraging since it means there's room for improvement.

That was the best hot dog I've had. Bacon wrapped, chilli, cheese, bacon bits, onions, and coriander. Delicious! Back to the grind!

Just went there and it was delicious!



Forgot the name but it was great. Thanks!

BTW, I haven't been doing well lately which is why I'm mostly silent (no one likes bad beat stories). I tilted and blew $500 in the pits. However, that same day I discovered the AMF and loved it. My go to drink now. I also tilted in a session and went all in blind with no callers and all in with garbage with no callers as well. All in with QQ and almost got a call. Then I cooled off.

Anywho, I'm heading for the pool tomorrow and then to see Criss Angel Mindfreak. I may hit the spa on Friday. Then on Saturday the trip is over. Will definately play Monster Stack next year. Liked it!!!

At first glance it looks a nasty blood splatter in your bathroom at PH

Oh yeah, I just realized it. Well, they do have Alfred Hitchcock slot machines here.

In other news, yesterday I skipped the pool and got a facial at the Mandara Spa. Very good, my face feels refreshed. And Criss Angel was great too. Better than David Copperfield but Penn & Teller are still at the top for me. Had 3 winning sessions in a row. I doubled up in one of them. I dropped the fancy plays and tightened up. Seems to be working so far.

I had to look, courtesy of google:

"Measure and add the vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curaçao, and sweet and sour mix. Use a bar spoon to mix the ingredients gently. Top with the lemon lime soda and enjoy."

Sort of like a Long Island Ice Tea, maybe?

Here it is:



I confused it with the Vegas Cocktail I had last year. So I see it and say to the waitress "I want that". She asks "Are you sure?" and I said yeah. My drink comea and she says "Here's your AMF". I start drinking and the woman to my left gasps and says "You got an Adios Motjerf***er?!". And then I remembered, I've heard of this drink before. Still, I could take it and I really liked it. Haven't dropped down yet like peopke suggest.

It's actually surprisingly good. It goes down smooth for me. Give it a shot next time you're in Vegas.

BTW I have a hand from before the Jen Kramer show.

Planet Hollywood, 15 minutes into the session

UTG Hero (200) - KcKs opens to 12
UTG+1 Fold
UTG+2 Fold
MP Villain (280) Call
Everyone else folds

Flop Qh Jc 7d

Hero bets 20
Villain calls

Turn Kh

Hero bets 40
Villain calls

River 4h

Hero bets 40 (I intended to bet 60 here but grabbed the wrong amount)
Villain goes All In
Hero calls

Villain shows AcTc and wins

I think the turn was bad. I think turn should be a check call with a fold to an all in on the river. Here's why:

This is 1/2 and people love to chase their draws no matter how marginal. Only value hands I see villain can continue with given the action are KQ, QJ, AK (I've seen some players call with it), KT, T9, and AT. On the river, I can see villain going all in with all but KT and maybe AK. This leaves the hands that I beat KQ (3) and QJ (9) for a total of 12 combos. However, we are crushed by AT (16) and T9 (16) for a whooping total of 32. Around 72% we lose. This is a fold. Yet I fell in love with my KK and underestimated the combo totals (my KK blocks a lot of hands I beat). On the turn if I check and he bets, it looks like this. Hands I beat KQ (3), QJ (9), AK (4), and KT (4) for a total of 24. I am beat by the same 32 combos. This means I am behind around 57% of the time. So, check call the turn and fold to a shove or an overbet.

What are your thoughts? What do you all think of my analysis?

I'm going to download Flopzilla and Cardrunners EV when I get back home. I need to recreate these scenarios, see the combos, the equities, the EV, the numbers. I want to improve.

Still playing at PH. Let's see how it goes.


Edit: Wrote JT instead of T9. Oops

Alright, got 2 sessions today. Both times made $200 each for a total of $400. And I only played {88+,AQ+}, cool. Forgot to take pic on both. Currently waiting at Gordon Ramsay's Burger while I wait for my flight. It got delayed and now leaves at 1AM. Had to change the flight to PR because of it. Pics of the ultimate cheeseburger will come aftet I get it.

Glad to see you're still here. Yeah, I'm at the airport now. So, right after I went through security I found out the flight got cancelled. While waiting in line, I got an email that I got rescheduled. Hooray, right? Let's see, June 30 from LAS to JFK. July 1 from JFK to FLL (Fort Lauderdale). So far so good. From FLL to SJU (San Juan) on... June 30? What? I need a time machine to make it lol. So eventually it's my turn and since I behaved well and was funny and flirty with the cute clerk, she fixed it and found out a better route. Still took close to 2 and a half hours though.

So now I fly on June 30 at 3:50PM from LAS to JFK and then on July 1 at 4:45AM from JFK to SJU. I arrive around 9AM and I work that Monday. They gave me taxi and hotel vouchers so right before I fell asleep I had a lightbulb moment. I have a coworker that lives 15 minutes from me and he arrives late like me (10AM). So I called him and he agreed to pick me up, go to work, and then return with him as my car is back home. So I'll be able to show up for work for now which is neat. This is my first cancelled flight and I'm very happy with the way Jetblue handled it.

I'm planning a trip on October 24 for the inaguration of the new Seminole Hard Rock. They have that new guitar shaped building and I'm eager to try the new poker room. I'll make a TR but it'll have to be in the house of blogs or something. It'll probably be over that weekend returning on Sunday.

I'll end the TR once I get back home. I know I went silent for a bit when I was on a losing streak and forgot to take more pics, but feedback is greatly appreciated since I want to improve in poker and TRs. Thank you all for being here!

They are my go to airline and the app reflected the changes within minutes. They even checked me in and printed my tickets yesterday. Highly recommend them! And glad to heat you love the tr! It's my first one, but look foward for more, especially if I get annual leave approved for October 24 and 25.

If I read all this right you had an extra night in Vegas. Did you spend it in the airport? Or did you have fun?

They gave me taxi vouchers and an hotel voucher (La Quinta on Paradise). I though about pulling an all nighter playing poker but decided against it since I needed the sleep.
