@discin311 Gd advice. I prob she hv turned down the 5/10nl game today. The must move and the main game today were both full of top notch players.
Check this blunder out...Arrived yesterday and thought I had reservations at Ballys. Wrong! I get through the check-in line, and the receptionist can't find my reservation. I looked through my email to c if I can give here a confirmation #, and i see I booked at Harrahs not Ballys. Ugh!!
*Already playing like a donkey before I even hit the felt.
So after getting a cab ride from airport to the wrong hotel, I then had to walk w my rolling suitcase 5 hotels further down the strip to Harrahs.
Your average idiot.
Today I grinded some 2/5/10nl at the Wynn and 5/10nl at Aria.
At the beginning of my sesh I felt pretty gd. I called down a hand real light on 3 streets w a somber pair of 3s vs 3 barrels. That got me settled in and some recognition.
But then I lost a big one w pocket Aces, and also made a wrong river read in another hand.
**Love the phone plugs built into the tables at both the Wynn and Aria.
***The Wynn had a weird straddle rule. Weird to me anyhow because I'm not use to it. On button straddles - the action starts utg, and if there aren't any raises then it skips button, and blinds act, then goes back to button who is last to act. If action changes (meaning a raise) then it goes in order...button then blinds.
Saw a few big games running at Aria w the likes of Brian Rast, Greg Mueller, Jean Bellande sitting in.
Also I was shocked to see Dennis Phillips at Harrahs...WITHOUT THE CARDINALS HAT! #incognito
I noticed at the 5/10nl everyone tipped a dollar, nothing more. *then I got to thinking what games do u think the dealer makes the most money. ??? I think dealer makes the most from recreational players in the 1/2nl and 2/5nl than any other game.
I could tell the 5/10nl game was full of pro just by their $1 tipping...Pros tip small.
I noticed being here in that it's real easy to get lost in the ambiance of Vegas. Every where u walk there is some kind of carnival display/entertainment. My mission was to grind all day, but I kind of got caught up in all the hoopla...I turned into a tourist checking out the sights.
This is suppose to b a business trip, not fun time.
Only grinded 8 hours, and lost $703
Both Wynn and Aria had a tough line up. I was up for the challenge, but I couldn't get anything off the ground today.
Try again tomorrow.
