Lol, deposited $27 yesterday. Ended up splitting the 16.50 zoom 4k gtd 3way for $734.
Drank a full bottle of wine and started grinding again in the evening. Today, I'm broke.
I played alot of MTT's/SNG's and PLO25/PLO50 zoom.
4/77 in a 3.30 2k gtd though, my last hope.

So I'm basicly gonna try to play all this tonight and hope for the best. If I lose, I'm broke which I couldn't care less about. Don't need the money IRL luckily.
Here's my gameplan :P

VEGAS MARCH 2014
Took a six day trip with 3 friends for March madness this year. I brought 6k and gave myself a 1k per day limit.
We arrive around 3pm Wednesday and after checking in to the Monte Carlo, pealing off 1k from my roll and putting the rest in the room safe we head straight to the sportsbook to get the betting lines for tomorrow's opening round games. We grab some info and take it over to the pub to look over dinner. We all order some food and slam as many beers as we can until we need a change of scenery.
We decide to take a walk down to Planet Hollywood and we find a couple open seats at the Miss stud table and order a beer from the lingerie wearing waitress. I run through $200 and a couple beers in like 30mins without ever winning a single hand. Normally I do well at Miss stud, but not at this table so it was time for a new game.
My buddies head back to the MC, but I get distracted by the craps table and tell them I'll catch up with them later. I buy in for $200, order another Miller Lite and soon find myself heading to the cage to cash in the $100 in chips I have left. I decide I should meet back up with my friends so I head back over to the MC already down $300.
The scenic route sounds good so I stroll through the Bellagio and take the tram over to the MC. I find my friends all sitting at different tables in the pit and none of them have an open seat, so I find one at the stupid Carribean Stud table. I buy in for another $200 and it's gone before I know it along with my beer. Ok this game is stupid let's go to blackjack. After losing $100 at $15 min bj table and drinking more beer, I decide enough of this bs let's go play what we really came here for....Poker!
One of my buddies wants to play too so we find the poker room and as luck would have it there are two open seats at 1/3nl. They take us to our seats and ask how much we want to buy in for. I buy in for the max which is $300 order another beer and get to work. I am having a blast trying to tilt the regs at the table by straddling, 3 betting, showing bluffs and all around playing like an idiot because I am hammered drunk at this point. I lose a stack of red pretty quickly playing like this so I reach into my pocket and add my last $100 bill to my stack. After I donk off a few more pots I realize that I might need to rebuy at some point, but I have already used my $1000 for the day. So I eventually go busto and head to bed for the night since I reached my 1k per day limit. LMAO, YEAH RIGHT! When my stack is sitting at about $150 I take a "bathroom" break and run up to my room to quickly grab another 1k from the safe. When I go bust instead of rebuying like I planned, I come up with a better idea. I think the best and fastest way to get back the 1k I'm stuck is not through 1/3nl, but at $100 min blackjack!
I say goodbye to the poker table and stumble my way over to the high limit room. At this point I'm like 20 beers deep and on the brink blacking out. The room is empty. There are only two tables with dealers at them, one bj and one baccarat, and both are empty. Alright cool me against the dealer. I sit down at the bj table and slap down the 1k. The dealer gives me a measly 10 chips lol! I lose them in less than one shoe. Great now I'm down 2k on night 1 and have less than 1k per day now for the rest of the trip. Its alright I have 4k left for 5 more nights in Vegas I'll be fine. At this point it's like 4 a.m. and all my buddies have went to bed a couple hours ago. So, I look at the pit boss and say "don't close down this table for the night, I'm going to run up to my room, grab some cash and be right back." The pit boss nods and is probably thinking "what an idiot."
I try not to wake up my Vegas roommate as I grab the remainder of my roll and head back downstairs to show that bj dealer who's boss. The table is still empty when I return, so I take the same seat and buy in for my remaining 4k. I haven't quit drinking this entire time and the rest of the night is pretty blurry and I don't remember much other than I continued to take a beating at bj for awhile. I ended up leaving the high limit room with chips and sitting at a $25 min bj table about 10ft outside the high limit room lol I didn't make it very far. I continue to bet black chips until my friend taps on my shoulder and tells me it's time to give up and come to bed. He woke up, saw it was the next morning and that I hadn't been to bed yet, so came looking for me because he knows about my degen tendencies. It takes him a few hands to convince, but eventually he drags my drunkass upstairs and I pass out in bed.
When I wake up later that day I count my remaining chips and they add up to $2,300.
I degened away over half my trip bank roll on the 1st night! The rest of the trip I was able to keep my inner degen beast at bay and only played poker and bet on the basketball games. I also used that money for all my other expenses on the trip and still made it back home with 2k. I was extremely happy with that result after what happened on the first night.
I just typed this thing out on my phone so I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors.
