Hello everyone,

Some of you fine folks might remember me from this trip-report earlier this year:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...-27-a-1709296/

What started out as a rather crazy idea in my head about a month ago or so, actually became a reality. I'm going on a solo-trip to Vegas! I'm leaving this island on Saturday morning (17th Nov) and returning Friday 23rd Nov.

It's a bit of a short trip given how far I have to travel, but the flight to Vegas is fairly optimal with Malta - London Gatwick - Las Vegas. Arriving already 4pm on Saturday, and the plane back does not leave until 7pm on Friday evening. So in effect it's basically a 6 day trip, although only 5 full days.

The original plan was to make it a birthday trip, but with prizes rising a bit too much for my taste (my birthday was last Sunday), I postponed the trip one week. That said, the tread title is still accurate enough as I'm doing this purely as a treat to myself.

Let's get the formalities out of the way first.

Parts of bankroll, no fifties obviously:



Shoes are the same as last time, guess I have to win some money to buy new ones:



As for plans, I honestly don't have too many yet. Will play $1-$2/$1-$3 cash, and mix in 2 or 3 tournaments as well. All depending on what I feel like that day, and how the games are. Obviously not 100% ideal that I miss out on most of the weekend, but Thanksgiving is on Thursday 22nd - maybe that bring out some gamble in people?

I don't drink alcohol nor partake in any 420, so the report will likely be boring in that regard. But I'm gonna be even better at posting pics than last time, and hopefully try to make updates exciting for you guys.

Staying at an upgraded room at Flamingo btw; not the most exclusive property but a really nice location and more than good enough for such a 'short' trip.

Tentative plans so far:

- Not getting f**king sick again; hopefully with better success than when Mark Newhouse tweeted he was not f***ing finishing 9th again.
- Workout every day in the hotel gym.
- Spend more time Downtown (visit Container Park, try the self driving shuttle etc.)
- Relax (get a massage, shave etc.), remind myself that I'm on vacation, and not let any potentially bad poker results discourage me.
- Likely joining Trooper Thursday on 22nd November, so if anyone wants free money you know where to find me
- Get my degen-factor up with a few shots at Video Poker. Shoutout to previous travel companion MuckPls for teaching me the rules

So yeah, that's about it. Vegas again, for the second time this year. F**king epic! Now just no flight delays, please.

/O

Trooper Thursday on Thanksgiving sounds... Sad. But I'm subb'd for the sweat. GL!

I think coming all the way from Malta on a solo birthday trip to stay at the Flamingo and get on a self-driving shuttle is sad. But I hope you have a great time!

Mr Whale, treat your Vegas poker opponents like they were all named Geppetto.

I’m in.

Go get 'em, Moby.

It starts at 2pm these days, so can easily play 3-4 hours and then head to the Strip for a better game.

Is Thanksgiving night a good one for poker? I would assume people just sat at home getting stuffed?

Hehe, thanks mate.

Subbed. Make us proud.

Been there for Thanksgiving too, plenty of poker to be had, GL!

Hope you win more than her:

Swedish people will understand

When I woke up this morning at 6am I really really wanted to sleep more. However, I quickly got out of bed knowing fully well that it was time to return to Las Vegas, NV

I ate breakfast, took a shower and finished the rest of the packing before taking a taxi taxi out to the airport. The flight was on time, and and I was more than eager to get the trip going.



The 3 hour flight to London Gatwick went by in peace and quiet, and I had plenty of time to make my connection to Vegas. Stocked up on some essentials, got something to eat, and suddenly it was time to board the Dreamliner. I first sat down on my seat 15F, while watching the plane fill up.



Thankfully it only got around 60% full, so when they announced boarding completed I immediately moved to row 18, where I was all alone. The captain announced 9 hours and 30 minutes flight time to Vegas, and that we would land just before 3pm local time.

Quickly got in the air, and although being on an airplane that long can become a bit boring it honestly was pretty relaxing. Watched a little bit of Netflix, listened to some podcast (shoutout to Bart Hanson for many great "Crush Live Poker" podcasts!), and even managed a little bit of sleep. That said, it was probably around 45 minutes at the most; I'm not an expert in sleeping on planes and I wasn't super tired.

Getting close:



Soon after we landed, and I got the familiar goosebumps by looking out at The Strip from the plane window just before touchdown. This is my first ever solo-trip to Vegas, and I must admit it was a bit weird not really having anyone to share the excitement with. That said, on previous trip I have often wandered off on my own (as two of the above posters can testify), so it's not like being in Vegas on my own will feel lonely or anything like that.

The cab-driver that took me from the Airport to Flamingo (old Asian lady) had a very difficult accent to understand, and she also tried to demand more tips after I gave her $30 for a $25.55 USD ride. She claimed it had to be $3 more due to some 15% thing with taxes (?). No idea what she really meant to be honest; as she was really hard to understand. I obviously told her that wasn't going to happen and that she would have to do with the tip I gave her. Although I want to be nice to people, this really seemed more like a scam on her part. Have never received any complaints about my tipping before; I usually just ensure that I'm at 10% or more.

First impression of Flamingo is that it's a bit more run down than Harrah's, where I stayed the last time. That said, the room looks decent:



View from the window is so-so, but can actually look down on the new zip-lines that people can ride down the Linq Promenade. Doubt I'm gonna try them myself though.

Local time now is 5:40 pm, and I'm currently battling the time difference really hard. I am super tired to be honest, but can't go to sleep now as that will only make me wake up at 1 am or something tomorrow. So gonna try to tough it out until around 8 at least. Perhaps I'll go down and try my luck at some Video Poker though, although obviously don't expect any leon-esque plays

But wow - I'm in Vegas again and have 5 full days to enjoy Right now I am honestly a bit too tired to take it in, so will lay off the poker tables tonight, but really can't wait to wake up tomorrow refreshed and ready to go!

/O

Play good run better!

Off to a good start so far with the pics and the narrative, we're all following along!

Good luck Whale, and Happy Birthday.
I have no idea what your cab driver was trying to say, you actually tipped her 17.4% by my math, which is definitely adequate. I'm curious which route she took you to get to Flamingo. I don't remember paying that much before. Have fun and keep the updates coming.

Thanks! Yeah, that cab-driver was on something for sure, and seems obvious she didn't take the optimal route. Anyway, will pay better attention next time.

As mentioned yesterday I was super tired, and that resulted in me falling asleep around 730 pm. Slept sound until 1am when I suddenly woke up - partly due to some noise outside from down at the Linq Promenade. Hopefully there's not gonna be a full party there every evening.

That said, I managed to fall asleep again within an hour, and didn't wake up until 5:30 am, feeling pretty rested. I got up, had some quick breakfast and checked Bravo for games.

Not too much action that early in the morning, but wandered over here:



Two tables going at Ballys this early morning, although the game I was in quickly broke and we got merged to one table.

I would like to say it broke because of me, but unfortunately no. Just kept losing small pots whenever I got involved, and only won a single hand. There was a raise to $7 from button, and I defend BB with 66. Flop comes A-7-6, and I check it over to him. He bets $10, and I just call. Turn is a 3, and this time I check-call $15. River is a K, and I checked it over to him again. I think leading out here would look super strong. He does fire again, $25 this time. I bump it up to $100 straight, but he unfortunately releases fairly quickly. Maybe I could have made it smaller as I have no bluffs there, but at the same time he has bet 3 times and in that regard shown a lot of strength.

However, the game was not very good and I kept losing some small pots here and there, and there was also an Asian kid in the game who put some pressure on people with both 3-and 4-bets. So not really the kind of game I wanted to be in, and I cashed out after only 75 minutes down $63 USD.

It was still a bit chilly outside, but the air felt really nice and the views were as always spectacular:



Actually went over to Ceasars to play, but they had a waitlist so I dropped that and instead went over to Venetian. I had a lot of success there last trip, so even though they have no high hand promotion running at the moment I assumed the games would be fairly easy to navigate.

The game was not very tough, but obviously I did a 'Trooper' and left down $197 USD in a decent game. Let's run through some quick hands.

1) I raise TT to $7 from EP1 and get 3 calls. Flop comes 8-5-3 rainbow, and I make a mistake here and only bet $10. I was thinking in my mind we were 3-ways to the flop, but regardless I can size up a bit. All 3 opponents call (!). Turn is another 3, and I actually still think I can go for value. Size up a bit more correctly this time ($32), but still perhaps a bit too small. Anyway, I get one caller.

River is an Ace, and I check it over to him. He bets $50 and I eventually sigh-folds. I am not 100% sure I was good until the river, but he could have 88, 55, A3, A8, and the only realistic bluff I'm beating is 67. Although this guy was older he was somewhat active, but not to the point where I think he would ever make a bluff disguised as a value bet on river.

2) Win a few pots here and there and find myself up to around $350 (about three fiddy!), when I pick up AQo from EP1. Make it $7 again, and the same old guy calls as well as big blind. Flop comes J-T-5 and I check. Mostly I have been playing straight forward so far, so I check with the intention of potentially check-raise flop. The old guy takes the bait and bet $7. That seems weak, so given his sizing I follow through with the plan and make it $25. The plan is of course to barrel turn heavily as well.

Instead he announces 'raise' and make it $40! That's actually not a legal raise however, it has to be $42. And for that price I really can't see a fold, given clear outs to the nuts. Sometimes hitting an A or Q might be good as well.

Turn is a 2. I check, prepared to give up but he very quickly checks back. So when the river comes a 6 i pause for 20 seconds before making a bet of $85. In my mind I have all the overpairs here, as well as JJ/TT which I could also have played like that. I have some blocker advantage with having an A and Q in my hand (block AJ and QJ). And his check back on the turn smells like a TP-type of hand.

That said, I don't think a good play is trying to get older guys to fold TP, and I also (as always) make a sizing mistake. The pot is $106 if I'm correct, and I think if I gonna get him to consider the fold I should bet even more than I did. That said, that is an amount I would have bet if I had some of the hands mentioned above. Anwyay, he says 'I think you might be bluffing' and reluctantly makes the call. He was obviously right, and shows AJo.

3) I raise AKo to $10 from EP2 over a limper. A super tight old nit who sat down an hour ago on the button makes it $35. I mean, he always has it here, but with me blocking AA and KK decently I thought I should see the flop at least. It came T-6-4. He instantly bets $80, I can't fold fast enough, and he obviously shows AA.

All in all not a very good start to the trip. Spewed off too much on that optimistic bluff, and probably make a few other small mistakes here and there. But ok, it's still early and I have plenty of time to play more.

It's the middle of the day now, the sun is up making it pretty nice outside, and I'm in Vegas for 5 more days. Life could certainly be worse

Hehe, hopefully you will enjoy this installment at least.

The rest of the day fared much better than the beginning. Spent some time in the gym, then went to Ceasars for a full facial shave. And while already at Ceasars...

I sat down in a $1-$2 game, in a room that as always was pretty packed. I really enjoy the poker room there; it looks inviting and the quality of play is not all that amazing. Obviously the $2 USD an hour in comps will attract some grinders, but that doesn't mean they are good players.

Anyway, it was a fun session for sure! I started decent, winning a few small pots here and there, and was up around $50 when a fun spot came against a good aggro German player.

I raise KJcc from UTG to $7, and get 2 callers before he makes it $37 from the small blind. I had already 3-bet him once before, and he had been by far the most active one at the table. As of such I made the call, given that his range doesn't have to be nutted here and I have position. A third player behind me also calls. Not ideal as he has position on me again, but this was an older gentlemen who would probably play straight forward.

What was ideal was the Kh-Jd 9h flop. The German bet out $65, and I thought for a little while on how to proceed. It's very draw-heavy and I don't really want to just call. Granted I lose to QT, KK and JJ, but obviously block the latter two pretty heavily. I also doubt he would 3-bet 99 against an UTG-raiser.

He has around $300 in his stack, and the pot is already something like $190. Thus it seems best to just move all-in. Should the old guy behind me have QT or 99; good for him. He does however quickly fold, and the German goes into the tank. He says out loud that it smells like JJ, and eventually folds AA face-up. He says that if he didn't have the Ace of hearts in his hand he would call; and that obviously makes a lot of sense. Even though he folded, I still think all-in was better than calling though.

Continued to win pots also after that hand, such as straight vs trips (I turned open ended Royal Straight Flush draw), and was up to around $650 when another big pot developed against the German.

He raises UTG to $10 (his standard sizing), and EP1 calls. I have AKo in third position and calls as well. As soon as I do that I realize that's a huge mistake. Given his loose opening range I can happily 3-bet for value here; should have made it around $50 or so.

4 players see the flop of A-2-8 with two spades. Pretty good flop, where I also have the Ks in my hand. The German guy bets $25, I call, and the rest fold. Turn is an offsuit 7, and he checks. I bet $46 for value, only to see him raise to $155 (!). It slightly confuses me, but AA is obviously not very likely, and I really doubt that he would play a set like that. 87 is certainly a possibility, or perhaps some A8s or something. He has only around $160 behind or so after making his raise.

That said, I still decided to call turn, and to call river - at least on non-spades. If a spade lands and he still moves in, I would have to give fold a bigger consideration. But I really thought I could be ahead here, and wanted to give him the last chance to pull the trigger.

River is a harmless 3, and he thinks about it for 15 seconds before moving in. I had expected it, but it's still kinda sucks. He has shown a ton of strength, but I really thought that I was only losing to 87 or potentially if he decided to play a set like that. I eventually call, and he turns over.. 76o for only a pair of sevens.

While I definitely like his turn-raise, he should know better than to try and bluff calling-stations . But more seriously, I'm surprised he jams river given how unlikely it is that I will fold. That said, I think we both played the hand somewhat well, and I'm happy that I didn't chicken out on a call just because I was winning a lot in the game.

(still should have 3-bet pre though).

Stack was looking real nice by this point:



Not too much happened after that hand. The German left the table, game became fairly tight, and I won a few small pots and lost a few small pots. Since I can't count or stack chips, the total didn't end up being over $1000, but cashing out $977 for a profit of $677 was regardless a really nice feeling.

Now I'm just gonna go to bed, as it's been a long day and I still feel a bit jetlagged. Tomorrow I'm gonna shop some clothes (especially as Flamingo does not offer washing & drying services, wtf), and I also think I'm gonna enter a tournament! The $140 at Aria at 1pm is a highly likely candidate, but will study the tournament schedules a bit more tomorrow.

Although nice you're properly smashing ze German.

Glad to hear it's going well!

Thanks for the comments, guys

Time for another update, although without any hookers & blow. Have not even been propositioned yet by any hookers. Not that I'm actively looking for it though.

I am gonna try to make this brief, although I'm usually not very good at that. And although I normally take it chronologically, I'm gonna start with the latter action first. I'm actually somewhat embarrassed by this, but I'm definitely not the King of the Castle. In other words; why can't I ever win a session at Excalibur ?

Yes, I know it's not a huge room and probably a somewhat weird casino selection on my part. But I was in the area after consuming some ShakeShack, and I remember from the last trip that the games were super soft.

They still are of course, but regardless I managed to drop $174 USD in a bit over 3 hours play. All the opponents are either passive limpers or gambly limpers that will call with anything pre and post. And to combat that I guess you either need to isolate a ton in position (and hope to drive out most callers) and/or have decent cards and flops. I had neither.

Typical hands from this session:

- Limp for $2, I make it $10 with AA from cutoff, two callers. K-9-3 rainbow. I c-bet $15, one huge station calls. K on turn goes check-check. River is a Five, and I guess I have to call his $25 lead in the front even though a King is highly likely. He had K3o (yep, limp-call K3o OOP).

- I raise KJss from UTG to $7 and pick up two callers. K-8-5 all clubs. I c-bet $14, and same donk from before calls. Turn Ac goes check-check, and he leads $30 on 4 river. I fold, and he shows A7o.

That said, I certainly didn't play perfect in other hands either, given that I managed to drop quite a bit more than these two hands. But I have never managed to win there, and I can't really figure out why with the competition being so bad and clueless. And it's slightly alarming (lol sample size) that apart from one super run-good session at Ceasars I haven't won any other session so far.

Before finding myself on the South end of the strip, I was at Aria to play the daily $140 tournament.



12 000 starting chips, 30 minute levels. In total 90 entrants, and I believe 10 places paid. I late regged slightly, and traded water for a little while before seeing a raise to 700, and two calls to me in SB. I have 77 (black cards) and call, and BB does call as well.

Flop comes somewhat favorable with 9h-8s-7h. I check, BB check, and PF-raiser bets 1500. He gets one call, and it's back to me. Seems like a fairly obvious jam; too coordinated of a board to slowplay, and by moving in it may appear that I am on a draw as well. So I go all-in for 10700. Raiser folds reluctantly it seems, but the other guy instantly calls with 98o. He does not fill up however, and I double up. Good start!



That was unfortunately the high point of the tournament though. I lose some with AJo after isolating two limpers in position. I c-bet the A-K-3 flop, and get one call. After seeing an 8 on the turn I decide to check it back. I am very certain I am ahead, but don't think I can get three streets, so I take the chance of letting him see another card. It comes a King, and he leads out for 3000 (I had bet 2000 on flop). Again one of those spots where I kinda know I'm beat, but where a call is the only answer. He had KTo.

As blinds increase I eventually got short. Managed to grind the shortstack decently for a while, but I bust when there is a limp for 800, and a raise to 2300 in front of me. I have been moved to this table just 20 minutes ago and don't have many reads. Pick up AJcc in the small blind, and move in for around 9000. The raiser does however snap-call, so I know it is not looking good. He shows KK, and I don't get any closer than a J on the river. Busted around 30th place or so.

After that went to Excalibur as described above (via The Park), and eventually back to Flamingo. Wanted to find another game to play as well, but after having been met with waitlists here (Flamingo), and also at Harrahs, Mirage and Venetian, I took that as a sign to not play. Getting pretty tired after all, as I was up early today as well (6:30am or so).

Here at Flamingo the poker room supervisor actually wanted to see ID before he could let me play! I didn't have it with me though, as I had left it in the room. I tried to argue that my Total Rewards card surely must prove I'm old enough to play. But he was staunchly stating he needed to see ID. Thanks for the compliment I guess

Obviously by the time I got up to the room and back with the ID, one game had broke and there were no more free seats for me to take.

Tomorrow I'm gonna head Downtown to Fremont Street and chill around there for a bit + find a game at Golden Nugget!

We leave this one off with some pics. Until next time.

/O

Let's try another update! Not a ton of people commenting, but that's fine - the TR will be a good memory for myself regardless, and I obviously realize that no OOL activities and butchered poker hands would not be as exciting for most.

We will get back to butchered poker hands in a bit, but first a look at today's destination.



Yep, time for some Fremont Street action. I first went down to Container Park, which was hugely underwhelming, so not including any pictures from there. Even the fact that it was a part of the final task in 'Amazing Race US - Season 25' could not save it (and let's face it, season 25 was a weird one anyway).

Walked around and chilled a bit more, including actually finding the poker room at Binion's this time. No surprise that there was no games running.

Instead I mentally prepared myself to have this in the upcoming game:



And went and got a seat in a $1-$2 game at The Golden Nugget:



Only 2 hands really of note here, so I'll run though both of those. Generally I have been trying to loosen up my game a bit more today, and especially in this game at GN which was at times very tight and predictable. I raise Q9dd to $7 from UTG, and get 4 callers. Flop comes K-J-6 with two spades. I make what is likely a bit too risky of a c-bet, and make it $20 to go.

Two callers, and we see the Ts on the turn. Pretty good card, but I decided to check it. The second guy bets $20, the third guy calls $20 and I also call.

** Inner monologue 3 minutes after: "WTF, YOU ******ED DONK! You just turned one of the best cards ever for an unlikely monster, and you CHECK? They are gonna let you know if they have a flush. BET FOR VALUE, instead of being a nit". **

River comes a fourth spade of some kind. Not ideal, and it goes check-check-check. First guy shows 66 for a flopped set, I show my straight, and the third guy unfortunately has KQ with the Q of spades.

Much later in the game, there is a raise from $12 from MP. This is a young-ish guy who was fairly new to the table, but seemed to know what he was doing and was raising a fair amount. So when it folds to me in the hijack, I make it $35 with KThh. I do however, very surprisingly, get two cold-calls behind me (SB and BB). Both had been playing somewhat snug, so alarm-bells goes off in my head. The original raiser folds.

9-8-2 with one heart on the flop. It goes check-check-check. Turn is a Jh, so I suddenly add both a straight and flushdraw to my hand. All the more reason to be flop I guess, as there are some good barrel-cards on the turn. SB checks and BB bets $50. I briefly considered moving in, but landed on a call. The third player quickly folds.

River comes an A, and the big blinds checks fairly quickly and in a way that seems to indicate he is not happy with that card. Well, I have K high and a big pot out there, and his line seems a bit QQ/TT-ish. So I move all-in for around $160 and get a quick fold. Phew.

That pot, and a few other small ones actually took me back in profit:



In for $400, out for $425 after 4.5 hours of play. Given I was down around $150 at one point, I'll take it.

Also worth mentioning that it was a quite lively and talkative table after a while, which made it fun to play. One guy at the table asked if I was celebrating my 21st birthday, and couldn't believe what he heard when I told him my real age. This was quickly echoed by 2 others at the table as well, so I have some rungood on my side I guess

---

Then went back to the hotel and chilled for a bit, before going on for a short evening session. Settled on Bellagio, and found a decent amount of action and a very swingy game on my part.

I got a good start when there was a limp for $3, a raise to $15 from an older guy, one call, and I call in the BB with KJo. Don't really like to call off-suit trouble hands like this, but price seemed good given the limper always was gonna call as well. He did.

4-ways to the flop of J-5-3 with two spades. I check, limper checks, raiser bets $30. I call, and the rest folds. Turn is the Js, a relatively favorable card. I check, he moves all-in for around $80, and I call. River is yet another spade, and I turn over my hand (no spade). He looks at his card and the board for a long time, but eventually mucks in disgust (assume big pair).

Basically hovered around a $400 stack (in for $300) for a long time, before some interesting hands started to take place towards the end of the session.

In the first one I raise 99 to $10 from EP1, only to be met with a $30 reraise from EP2. He was a local dealer at Mandalay Bay who seemed to play decently enough. As we are both deep I have an easy call, and we see the flop of 8-5-3. I check, and he bets $50. I hate playing this OOP, but don't think I should release for a single bet. So I call.

Turn comes with a 6 and goes check-check. River is a King. There is a chance he has backed into AK now, but I am fairly certain that 99 is not good at showdown, and that even if it is he is gonna bet the king and I have to fold. So I turn my hand into a bluff instead, betting $116 in front. I could easily have a set here, and I think even an AK would have to at least consider folding (not saying it will).

He does however pretty much snap-call, and shows QQ after I have proudly flipped up my hand. So I guess I got pretty owned there. Not sure if I need to turn it into a bluff, but at the time it seemed like a better option than to just check and have to give up.

The very next hand I raise 98ss from UTG to $10. It folds to the older guy in mid-pos that I had the KJ against earlier, and he makes it $35. He has really been splashing around a ton recently, and winning a lot of small/medium pots. I make the call since we are now stuck, and I still have fairly close to $200 in my stack.

Flop comes 5s-6s-Qd. Pretty decent. I check, planning to check-jam any bet he make. It became a bit more annoying when he bet $110 (!), but regardless not going anywhere with 4-flush and straightdraw there. He calls, and we see a 7 on the turn. A welcome sight, the river is something unimportant, and I double right back up.

Also played a fun hand shortly after where there is a limp from EP, SB completes, and I check A9o in BB. Flop is A-5-3 with two clubs. SB checks, I check, and the limper bets $10. I call, and the turn is an 8. I check, he bets $15 and I once again make the call. I also take note of the fact that I have Ac in my hand before doing so.

River is 6c, and after I check for a third time he bets $20. This bet feels really defensive to me, like he is trying to go for thin value with an AT or similar. And regardless I know he does not have the nut flush. I check-raise to $110, and he thinks for it a little bit but eventually folds. Always nice to pull of those kind of plays.

Stack was around $420 at this point (in before weed-jokes), but I lost a bit back after I had KQcc on a K-T-9 flop. I bet the flop, only to be met with flatcall - raise - all-in behind me. Easy fold then, and a set of nines (rivered full house) took the pot versus two pair. Cashed out +$73 USD.

Not any big wins, but I'll take it, and it was a really fun day with lots of interesting hands. Still two full days to come + some hours on Friday as well before plane leaves.

Cash games:

Hours played: 16h 00 min
Won/lost: + $331 USD

I am enjoying this.

I wonder if you lose at Excalibur is because you are trying to win hands by making plays that get thinking players to fold.

Nice TR
