The Joker in Vegas

Changed my mind, especially once Murray had won relatively quickly. Got showered then off to the Wynn for the $400 event. Half hour levels and 12k starting stack. First hand I fold the hand that knocked me out yesterday - J8 - and the board runs out with three jacks. Brilliant! Chipping up OK, then decided to call a raise with QT and then run a massive bluff on a 543 board. I raised his flop bet, then bet the turn which was a six and he kept calling. I checked the ace on the river and he bet. Down to 8k. Well done! Raised late with 98 and an old bloke who had yet to play a hand calls. He checks the queen high flop, I bet he calls. Hmm. Another queen on the turn, check/check. Nine on the river, check/check and I take the pot! Not much happens in Level 2. I raise with 66 get called, bet the T95 flop, get called then check fold the turn. In the SB I call a min raise with five players in the pot with Q9. Flop is Q77. I check/raise and it gets through. On 9k at the end of the level. Totally card dead for Level 3. The good thing is that you don"t lose any chips. Only hand of note was calling late with JT and missing. On 8,500 chips.

Level 4. I raise UTG with JTs, one caller, I bet the flop and he folds. Towards the end of the level I finally get AA. Three callers! Flop is 874 with two clubs. Am I favourite anymore? Check, check and I bet and the fourth player, the loosest, raises me. I tank and decide to fold face up. What hands am I beating? Only if he"s raising with a draw, but then it"s still a bit of a gamble. Down to 7k. At the break he told me he had 87 for the two pair. Final hand of the level I get AJs which is looking massive at the moment and raise, three callers again! 868 flop, I bet it and the one caller is the loose bloke. King on the turn, check/check. Two on the river, check/check. He shows 99. I"m down to 5,500 at the break. Hmm. Very nice card room, by the way. Restrooms very close to my table, which is nice.

Level 5. 25/150/300. Blinds go through me a couple of times so I"m below 5k. I need to make a move. I raise with A9. Two callers, including loose bloke. Flop AK5. First bloke checks, I go all-in with my last 4k, loose bloke thinks for a bit but calls relatively quickly. The other bloke folds. What does he have? K5. Really? Clearly this was never going to be my day. Perhaps I should have gone to the pool after all. Might go and find somewhere for lunch.
