An OLC put in 22bb pre with 33 versus me. People are starting to go outside of their ranges to play bad against me. Seeing her hand was sweet like honey.

I have plans to play Wynn and Resorts all next week. As an experiment, to see if I can hang with the all-stars.

I don't know when I'll be putting in 500 hours at The Venetian. I will vow to take a piece from that place before this blog is complete.

Yesterday had bad juju written all over it, which is why I left early.

Fun times:

Straddle to $6 UTG
UTG+2 puts out two red chips.
I'm next to act, oblivoius of the straddle, and seeing a $10 raise. I make it $45 to go with AA.
Folds to the raiser, who is very irritated at my sizing.

Him: Why would you do that?
Me: What?
H: It's 1/3, why are you raising so much?
M: I didn't see the straddle.
H: Well, there was a straddle.
M: I know that now. I am sorry.
H: You shouldn't be sorry, this is poker.

The dialogue does no justice, he was pissed. I also accidently folded a hand face up MW in the hour and just felt like I should be done with it. I am back at it today.

That also marks the 2nd time this trip that an elderly folk said to me, "This is Poker," as if I don't know that. LOL.

I believe my utility for poker is shaped like a V. My hourly goes down after the early parts of the session, and then climbs again once people are tilted and fatigued. But that's not why I've been quitting every game early lol, it's because of a shitty work ethic.

In case this wasn't clear, or assumed sarcasm, I want to point out the area under the curve (profit) is greater over time.

I presume it is some sort of self-doubt complex.

Played a midnight session. 2 Hr, -82

That's gonna be a wrap for this blog. I thought prior to reaching Vegas I would be playing at The Venetian, getting my revenge against Sheldon, etc., but that's just not the case. The games at Encore are great, and I'll occasionally chase promo dollars at Westgate.... there is just no real purpose to blogging results anymore.

TTYL,
