I dont try to QQ so il put it in a sticky

The trip costed me around 2.2k$ for 7 days
Lost around 1.3k on hold em and 1.5k+- on omaha hi lo
-------------------
Day 1: ****ty start
Spoiler:
Got up early, took the taxi to Brussels and u know what fukking happens lol, a big accident on the main road so i would be over 1h late for my trip.
Dunno how or why , but they fixed the road & i got just in time.
After a double flight 4h+8h with no delay i finally arrive in vegas.
I had some spanish lady as a taxi driver, i told her to go straight to the golden nugget. Dunno why or how but the total taxi trip costed me 60$, felt like a scam to me.

Hold em
Spoiler:
Once I arrived at the golden nugget i wanted to play hold em straight up like a degen
Its 1-2 Nl hold em no cap buy in at the nugget. I buy in for 500$ and i dont need to post the bb
I look at my cards after looking at the table & i see an AZN lady 20-30s open to 10$ utg i call in the co with pocket 3S, its heads up.

Flop comes 345 and im like bingo baby.
She c bets for 20$ in a pot of 22$, so i am like yep she got a big pair.
I RR to 66, she snap shoves, i call, the turn & river brings an ace & ten.
She shows 76, 325$ in the drain the first hand i play in vegas ;p.

Coupla hands later i get AK and the utg (a big boned lady, who just tripple barreled on a AQ2 board and showed down A5 for the winner) opens for 20$ she has around 125$ so i have no clue what to do in this spot, then just call
Board comes KQ9, she c bets for 35 and i call, turn is a brick and she shoves 70$ more, and i call like a donk, she showed up QQ for trip Q's

After that hand i just called it a night, and i heard the lady speak to one of her friends, what a donk its a shame he didnt stay longer


The angle shooter

Spoiler:
The day after i went to the rio to play some omaha hi lo 1-2-5 bring in
We played this game for around 8-9 hours with 6$ rake each Half hour
I ended up in the game as a small loser with around -30$ or so, i met some nice ppl (including this old guy who played as a very aggresive oponent (but a winning one) we talked about everything, he ended up with 1k+- profit.

Just went back to the gn and took a good night sleep, to wake up the day after to play some 1-2nl, the good sir was sitting there and he even came over to shake my hand one of the first hands i played i AJ and i limp utg with this hand, the old man opens to 10 & gets 4 callers, i sq & make it 55$ he calls and its heads up. Flop comes Axx, i chek, he cheks behind, i checked on the turn, and he checked behind, river was a brick & l ead out for 50, he snap folds & shows KJ O, the hand after he announces that he is not going to watch his hand, the hole tables limps, and i look at 3-8 suited, i complete in the SB, and bb cheks, flop comes 38J () i open for 12$ and the old man reraises me to 45$, and he tells me i swear it i havent looked at my hand yet, even the DEALER tells me its true he did not look at his hand , i called, the turn braught a Q
i check, and he shoves for 400 more, and im sitting there like wtf, he says i SWEAR TO GOD I didnt look at my hand, and i tell him, im just going to call, but if u show 9-10 and u did look then you're the biggest A hole in vegas.

I called , he showed 9t, he kept on swearing he did not look at his cards, and he even wanted to go to the security to proove it, and im like, u know what sure.
We stood at the security and all of the suddens he brings out 2 100$ bills and gave them to me and said sorry but i did look at my cards. I dont wanne lose a friend because of money
I felt like a complete idiot during the entire day.


Venetian: (omaha hi lo)
Spoiler:
After a decent rest i wanted to play some 08, so i went to the venetian,
1-2-5 bring in max 1k buy in, started out withg 500$ but as soon as the game started it went close to Straddle open to 35, repot it to 100, so i added another 500$ for a totall of 1k

After card dead for over 2h, i got A42K

It went straddle pot & repot 120+- i made the call, and 2 other players made the call

Flop 480$ 784 utg pots it, i go all in, he calls
Pot is around 2.1k+- I ask him if he wants it 2ce or 1ce? he says 1ce.
Turn is an Ace, and river brings a random 6

He shows A235 RAINBOW and scoops it .

I rebuy to 900+-$ pick up A288 it goes pots repots call i call, and the guy behind calls

Flop is 300+-$ 557 Sb leads out for 50$, i call, rr to 250$ call, call & i call
Turn brings Q CH-CH-CH-CH
River brings Q CH CH CH CH
Sb & the guy who rr had 5xxx

Game broke, i went back to the casino & i was just done with poker for the rest of my trip. Next day i got fever (i think because the casino their airco is so fukking cold)


Forgot to mention that the hold em players all took their ipads & stuff like that to watch tv while playing mtt's & hold em live... zzzzz

Sorry for tldr felt great to get back home.

I would have been more mad at the dealer than the angle-shooter tbh. That's just really bad form to say anything like that about the hand.

Edit: nm, I'd be equally pissed at both of them

Is this a joke? That guy is a ****ing piece of ****. I would've called the floor on the dealer too.

I had a dealer do jeopardy music while I had a pretty sick river spot at The Mirage a long time ago.


Those hands were interesting though....

Also that's hardly tl;dr.

Did you get any good food? See any good shows? How much blow did you consume? How much off tittays?

lol at complaining about the T9 hand and calling somebody a piece of **** over it. It`s your job to analyze the situation. Giving you 200$ is totally ridiculous, he did nothing wrong and won the money rightfully.

THIS. He has no business talking in the hand, with the comment he manipulated your decision.

its right to be mad, thats just a natural reaction to being played but I agree, the 60 year old vegas pro played an angle got rewarded then gave you back 200, thats nice when he had no reason to do so

Best poker hand I witnessed in my life:

Couple of years ago at the EPT Main Event in Berlin, my first big livetourney and I didn`t really have much liveexperience, especially tourneys. Had a good table with some huge fish and some really good regs.

So there is this around 50 years old man, quite good looking and well dressed. He talked to another guy and he was asked about how much his watch was and just said more than the Buyin. He had a shaved head and looked like a true Boss but was a total fish.

So young scandi comes new to the table and obv starts playing like a scandi. He gets involved with the presumed Russian guy.

The Flop is like AK7, it goes bet Scandi and raise Russian, call scandi. Turn is a 10 and completes a flush. Russian checks, Scandi bets , Russian calls. River is another spade putting 4 spades on the board. Russian checks, Scandi bets, Russian snapcalls.

Now the scandi mucks, Russian stands up hammers is hand on the table and with his Russian accent is like "How did you like my play?"

I look at his cards and he has NOTHING. He literally has the board with 63o or something and no flush. Young scandis face turns totally red and he stands up and didn`t comeback for 30 minutes.

He lied(by swearing), i did not ask for that 200$, i did not ask for any money.

The food was extremely fat, i had a hard time finishing my meals. I did however enjoyed one big dessert in one of the restaurants at the golden nugget it was a small picture with 4 small icecreamscoops on 2 cookies, i did not expect it to be gigantic once i faced it.

I watched penn & teller. & tried to go out to the clubs (Excess then tao) The row at Excess did not move at all so i tried to order a table, but the price was omfg.. (1.3k$) then i went to tao, i could not get in since i am not on the list or somebody from the hotel.
Blow = Drugs?! = 0$
Tittays = 0 (i stopped doing that ) ive met some nice Azn dealers at the gn tournament, was going out with them, but she had to work on the day i wanted to go out.


Also the massage therapists in the rio are 9/10-10/10s, was nice to see some decent women out there since here in belgium the avarage is a 4/10


Also i asked the floor the day after what wouldve happened if i call them, they said they would do nothing to the dealer.The player would get a severe warning.

Bluffing is lying. I can`t even count how many times I was in a similar situation or when a guy shoves on the river and then is like "I got it". My rule of thumb is to ignore what people say and rather watch at their breathing etc. The moment people look at their cards is one of the more important moments.

I`d be really pissed at the dealer tho and would`ve complained to the floor.

Hey guys, I'm working on a project and it would be really awesome if I could get people (as many as will do it) to answer a short survey. I'm gonna finish it probably tomorrow, will people be willing to take 5 minutes to do it? PM me if you're interested.

Also incredibly scummy people itt. I love when spots cause it tends to perculate the true scumbags. Lol at angleshooting someone who (I'm assuming) seems quite like a foreigner (no offense obv) and likely doesn't speak the best english etc and not thinking that's hella scummy.

It is scummy. That doesn't mean it's against the rules though.
