Will post updates / results of both packages here.

Played first flight of the big 50 today. Arrived on time, table was ok to start, nothing to write home about and definitely a bit tougher than average for this field. Ran the 50kss to 140 in the first few levels, then cooled off a bit and dwindled to 120 by dinner. With blinds at 2k, I opened 9s utg off 100k, utg1 shoves 50k and I call off against TT. He had been playing pretty crazy, shoving j3dd into a raise and a call then showing, talking about how he had been playing for 40 hours straight, etc. Moved to a much better table and got back to around 70 at 3k before busting. Tourney is great value, looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow for #2.

300k w 2 more levels tonight, table is good and I have the best seat

Good table broke, got moved to a table with a ton of chips. Unfortunately want able to get any of them, ended up bagging 206k for tomorrow at 6k bb. Super long day 13 levels, dinner delayed by 2.5 hours, etc. let’s run well tomorrow.

Had 550k 4 hands into the day. Won KQ>AK for 16bb each, AKs in big 4b pot without showdown, caught a bluff bvb. Then open 66 btn and both blinds call, 632dd, blinds check, I bet 16 into 50, sb call, bb xr to 60k off 200k. I jam, sb fold bb snaps 55, goes 4A for 470k pot. Fold a bit, end up on the stone bubble, old man time opens 25k at 10k, I rip 255k w AKhh, he covers and snaps JJ, brick the QT74hh to go out 910th with 896 paid

Tomorrow is sold out, can possibly late reg but would be standing in line all day so not sure if I’ll do it. Game time decision I guess. 2 $500 bullets down.

Going to go late reg Venetian one day $400 monaterstack shortly. Low package will have action on this from the unused $2,000 from the 4 unused big50 bullets. Would have liked to play again but it’s just too much of a zoo / line hell to do it again.

Well against my better judgement, and with the prodding of the roommates, decided to take a shot at another big 50 late reg. Took 5 minutes to register, currently standing in line for a seat. Fingers crossed.

420k coming back to last level of the night after starting w 50k at 2k. Ran pretty hot so far tonight.

Managed to accumulate 2k more to end the day with 422k. Let’s run this on day 2.

Update?

On to day 3 with 790k coming back to 30k. Let’s get this mola!

Busted 2nd level of the day. Bojang opens 2bb hj, btn flats, I rip 22 for 17bb in the bb. Bojang tank calls 88 and we brick. Out 1,043. Not sure of the payout but think it’s around $1,950.

Immediately went over to Venetian and played $1,100 MSPT. Had a good start and was quickly over 43k from 20ss, but then got into a tricky spot w KK on Q547 3 ways and didn’t fold to a shove from middle age guy that had shown a propensity to greatly overplay hands. Quickly ran JJ into KK for the last of my stack. Blah.

On my phone now but will do some accounting and update later.

Skipped 2nd bullet of MSPT. Wasn't feeling it last night after busting b50 and 1c of MSPT and 200bb at cash and sure as hell wasn't standing in alt line all day at Venetian.

I cashed for $1,950 in the big 50 off 3 bullets for $1500. Took like 40 hours of play / standing in line. Awesome hourly.

Low package Missed: 3 bullets b50 $1500, wsop $600, 2x PH $250 $500. $2,600 total. Will definitely find some good use of this or refund it if I don't, but surely there will be high value replacements.

Bigger buyins: Bricked 1.1k mspt once, didn't play second. I will likely be using the second buyin for a potential reentry into the millionaire maker this weekend. I will assume both investors trust my judgement and are ok with that. Has to be as good of value or better. Significantly better structure than MSPT, though that was a ridiculously high value tournament.

Skipped Wynn 550 for milly maker 1a yesterday. Didn’t get much going. Lost AQ<88 at 500bb then TT<AA+KK for the rest. Trying again today. Will take the extra bit out of refunds from other package or square up at the end of package.

Busted mm again yesterday. Had it up to 65k at 500 and then lost basically every pot. Get in 21bb AQ v QQ and JJ and guy flips a jack. Slight tweak to the schedule today, replacing wsop 1k with Venetian 1100 500k. Overlay possibilities and figured it would be quite a bit softer than wsop. Seems like it is. Lots of old rich Venetian type guys, lots of soft tables. This puts 2nd package $500 over schedule.

Since last update we bricked the Venetian 1,100 monster stack and today’s wsop 1k. Both tables were incredible, wish I could have got anything going but didn’t. Ran pretty bad but didn’t play my best either. Need to play better and run better.

Good news! Bagged 522k in the smallest buyin I’ll play this summer - the prestigious PH $300 200k. Good news is there should only be ~7% field left and 50kish 1st. Probably play aria 1day $400 later today with unused money from small package.

Slept too late for aria, playing cash today

Have 1.1m going into 30k with 30 left and 50k to 1st. Will be doing occasional updates on twitter @unta8

First hand after 27 redraw get in queens v some euros aces for everything, must be nice

Came over to Rio, Regging 1k double stack. Will have 40k with full level of 1k and playing 3 levels tonight.

Got lucky and got in jacks v kings 2nd to last hand of the night and rivered a jack to end day 1 with 97.5k going into 2k.

Playing aria 1 day $400 today with unused small package money

Well that was stupid. Get in 31k at 800 with KK v AQs and lose, down to 18k. Get up to 21 at 1k and get in QQ over an ep 3.5x, guy on my direct left has AA. It was fun.

Day 2 went as poorly as possible. Lose QJhh v ATdd on TT4hhQ8x for a good bit. Get black kings utg, btn and BB call, A98ddd chk fold to btn he shows A9cc. Down to 45k at 2.4k, raise KJo hj 5.5k, blinds call, J32r xx bet 7.5 into 19k, sb clicks 15k lol repping 0, I pile 40k total, he snaps ATcc and goes running clubs. Nice, well played bud.

Registering $800 soon.

800 didn’t go well either. Bricked 98ss on QT6ss for a huge pot, then JTss xr AI 20k @ 1k on 843ss against 53o that flatted btn pre.

Playing $600 at PH today. Place is packed? Should be a really good tourney.
