The Joker in Vegas
Joker161:
First hour: Levels 5 and 6.
I call in the SB with 55 after a raise and three calls. Flop KT6. Just missed! Shame. Then the raiser bets, first caller goes all-in, we all fold and the hands are KK and TT! I would have been third on the KT5 flop! Raise with 99. Reraise from a loose player. Button calls, I call. Flop 872. I make it 4K, call, then all in from the button for 13k. I fold, loose bloke calls, he has TT and button has JJ. Hmm. Perhaps wasted 4K there. Perhaps should have folded pre. Raise with AQ UTG+1. Call. Button reraises. SB goes all in. I fold, fold, button folds. SB shows AA. Might not be my day...
Being a good boy I fold AT in mid position. SB raises and BB calls. Flop is AT2, obviously, and they start betting into each other. Annoying. End the hour on 12k.

Levels 7 and 8.
Card dead. Get AJ and miss the flop against three callers. Raise with 55, get three callers. Miss the flop. Five on river, of course. The blinds are now 300/600 and the 600 ante, and I'm down to 6k! Pushed with AT and got it through. Finally, I pushed with 76 and was called in the SB by a very tight player. Oops! I was expecting something big, but he only had 55, so it couldn't be much better for me. Missed. Out. That all seemed quite quick. I blame England!

Hopefully you've got all of the run bad out of the way now.
Very best of luck Joe, looking forward to reading about the rest of this trip.
Curlarge:
Best of luck mate. Great updates.

Wednesday 4th July
Woke up at 2.30am, but managed to get back to sleep OK. Woke up again at around 7am, but I wasn't feeling that great. Perhaps the lobster bisque from last night? Went out and got a yoghurt/granola type thing, but that didn't help much. I lay around in bed watching Wimbledon and sleeping occasionally. Finally I make the decision not to play the $600 today at the Venetian. Need to relax and feel better for the $1500 tomorrow. I get something simple for lunch, and then decide to play the $150 daily at Caesars (very short walk).
