Welp I'm out 185 like 12 from the money.

I run JJ into QQ on a 6 high board.

I feel pretty stunned...

Wow been playing with Phil Laak at this 5/10/20 for the past 3 hrs and had no clue.

He looks a lot different. Been quiet the entire time with his head down.

Phil started opening up and was chatting a bit. We were reminiscing of old stories. Was a pretty good time. Cool guy.

Played quite a long session. Had a ton of pretty interesting hands.

4k effective 5/10/20 40 dead from UTG. Villain is pretty decent young German only thing I would say is I have never seen him bluff big or bluff river in any spot. Though this info isn't particularly relevant this hand.

Villain is an old guy who over plays a lot of hands w/ big bets.
I saw him 2x pot on turn w/ top pair no kicker into 2 players. Doesn't understand relative hand strength that well will get stacked w/ top pair a lot on a lot of boards. Great for the game.

4k effective

Villain leads 600, I 2200, he tanks about 3 min and folds.

A couple other hands I'm remembering as I fully wake up.

Nothing too crazy but there weren't a whole lot of 4 and 5bet pots. In fact I think this was the only 5 bet I can remember in the entire 14hr session.

Villain is same German kid from earlier and he has seen I'm 3betting him a lot w/ all sorts of stuff.

4k effective

PF: Villain opens CO to 50, I 150 on button w/ AK, folds back to him and he makes it 460, I take a long pause and make it 1020, he folds pretty quickly.

I think I played this correctly except river is a fold, but it was one of the last hands at the end of the session and I was pretty tired by that point.

Ran kind of bad the rest of the session.

TT<KQo

QQ<KQs

KQs<TT

JJ<85s

JJ<K5s

All in pots where I had made a pretty sizable 3 bet squeeze pf and they just get there on some street.

Lost JT on 8 9 J vs a 50bb stack with QJ.

Then double same guy up TT vs QQ.

Wasn't feeling it and also a little tired so picked up and went to take a nap.

Now headed back to Wynn for the final poker session of the trip and probably the year.

Will play until my flight tomorrow. Hopefully run a little better than this morning.
