Thank you and good luck as well. I'll probably grind the 2/5NL and 5/5PLO rest of the trip.

About a thousand loser in the game big game. Fortunately I spun 2k into 5k at 5-5plo before i moved. So overall winner so far. I could go into the 5-5 plo hands but the 25-50 plo hands were much bigger and more post worthy.
Early on i get AKK7ss otb 100 straddle, mp opens to 400, hj calls, i raise to 1700, both call. Flop 886r, checks to me, i bet 2500 with 500 left behind, both fold. Almost a
full double.
Ill post more later. Tired

Nice! I played 5/5 PLO for a few hours and did well. Had a nice double through who I presume to be a drug dealer. If that game is always that good I'd play everyday.

Couple more hands from 25-50 100 button straddle.
I flat call 300 utg open in hj with 5677ds button calls. Flops 348ccs, utg bets 800, i call, button raises to 2500, utg calls, i call. Turn 4h, checks around. River 5, checks around. My straight is good.
I limp J987ds in hj, 5 to flop. Flop 753ddc, checks to button who bets 500, folds to me last to act i call. Turn 7s, i check, button bets 1500, i call. River Ks, i check he checked. My 7 is good.
At this point Im obv feeling really good. Winning almost every pot i put money into. Dont worry trolls its all leading up to the biggest pot ive ever played that I lose. Ill post that one later

50k June (thanks to all the good players going to vegas and me slumming it with whatever was left).
Just got back from Vegas and Denver. I had a wedding to attend in Vegas so I spent 4 nights at Vdara. Beautiful hotel conveniently located between Bellagio and Aria. Played 1 5-10-20 plo session, 2 25-50 plo sessions, and a 50-100 half plo half nlh and won all 4 sessions!!!! Lfg right. Didnt book any huge winners but it doesnt take very big wins at those stakes to more than pay for the trip.
Next stop Hardrock Hollywood. Wife is going to Boston Thurs-Saturday so i wont be down there till after her trip. None the less ill be down there during the last leg of the series. Gonna play big cash games and not even consiser sitting in a tournament. Ill post a hand or two if I feel like it.

Played 10-10 plo and 50-100 plo at seminole hardrock hollywood last week. Bought a good chunk of.a friend in the 25k high roller. Pretty cool when i walked up to hand him the money for the piece he was all in with the AA and held and busted Chance Kornuth. Unfortuantely that early pot lead to a sick cooler where in a limped pot my dude loses with Q8 on 863 Q 8 board.
After the Fort Lauderdale trip I played several sessions in naples florida.
Racking my brain for memorable hands but few are coming to mind. One fun one at 10-10 plo i limp and call a series of raises and back raises pre with 7654dddd and scoop in a KK3r 3d 8d board. While olaying 50-100 plo 4 handed I played a 60k pot where i turned the nuts no redraw and check raised pot and held on the river. He also had turned nut no redraw so we chopped it up. Pretty tired after the trip. Gonna take a few days off and chill at home. Maybe type up more about the trip tomorrow.

The past couple months have been crazy. A bunch of first times for me. One being I played in a game where a guy lost 200. Another being in a game with over 100k pot. The following session had another 100k+ pot. Crazy how this game can snowball so fast to the point where things just mentioned seem common place.
Too bad 2+2 banned my absherrj user. This couldve been an epic thread given my enthusiasm for both 2+2 and the amount of time ive spent playing in Florida. Instead no telling when ill update this thread again... maybe never.
