Alright everybody. Booked this trip a few months ago when things were looking up in the world and we will PUSH THROUGH! Leaving next week and wanted to get this started so I can test my tapatalk and sling as much BS as possible.
Previous Trip Report
And have no fear as the WSOP Circuit is in town at my local and I will oblige with some pics and HH and general lite debauchery.
Things have changed since my last TR. No longer a full time pro poker player, though I really do miss it a lot. Got a 9-5 and usually play once a week after work on Fridays. Worked $1k up to almost $20k in the past year and a half and then took some shots that went poorly. Current roll is around $6k and I'm more focused to spin it up.
Some positives about not being a pro is that I play more aggressive since it's not the rent money and I can officially keep my roll separate. However, I pretty much hate the job I have and there is a non-zero chance I get wasted and quit from Vegas.
Participants:
MarshMan114, Wifey, Brother, Friend M, Friend G.
Goals:
Play some poker. Don't want to play super drunk for more than $500, but DO want to start at 2/5 and win enough to play 5/10 to win enough to play 10/20 or something stupid. Gotta chase some real run good to make that stair step before I become too drunk.
Play perfect Pai Gow repeatedly. Literally the best thing about Vegas. Free drinks, min bets, no sucker bets, break even, smoke cigars and drink too much.
Have a strict bankroll for Craps and plan on running it up.
Pretty standard plan so far.
I am the antithesis to Foatie in that I will consume levels of THC that would not phase your average middle schooler. I have a 1 gram cartridge that I puff on and it takes me about 6-8 months to finish it. Small puff + cigar + whiskey = All I want in life
Cigars:
Bringing some crushers. Bought a Padron sampler for Christmas and will be bringing at least 1 or 2.
Dropping kid114 off with the grandparents Wednesday night and then catching an early Thursday morning flight in with Wifey and Brother. Staying at Planet Hollywood
Things to do include:
Pinball museum
Pool time
AYCE Sushi
Reservations at El Diablo in The Mirage
Reservations at Bacchanal (sounds like a sex move while listening to classical music)
Watch Boutiques (I'm just kicking tires, but will push G to buy something nice)
Trying not to die from the heat
Alright. Posting this before 2+2 erases everything. About to leave work and go straight to the casino where I hope to find people wearing all kinds of vlogger attire and gaudy jewelry. Usually sit with $1K at the 2/5 but might try 2 bullets at 5/5 PLO for $600 each and see if I can spin it up. If not, will step back into my comfort zone.
