Can we just hurry up and talk about Vegas please?

Just for Stu..............
Right is is definately getting colder here in Wales. I have therefore decided that a trip to the desert is in order next month so will be heading off to the fabulous Las Vegas. It is in fact 4 weeks today that I will be making the journey, jumping on a train to Wimslow at around 11am before arriving at Manchester airport. I have booked into the Raddison Blu for the night and am planning to have a nice quite evening having a quick drink with some fine people such as Ger Smyth, Ger Smyth, The Ward Brothers, "Sneaky" Joe Ball, Phil Fryer. It is an excellent hotel so should be a good night. Unlikely to go crazy though as it will be and early start on Wednesday. Want to be at the airport and through security as early as possible really, then hopefully have time to grab some Breakfast before getting on board for the LONG flight to Sin City. I expect there will be a bit of open face chinese played on the plane and some food and drink served. We then land in Vegas at 12:15 local time. THe adrenaline usually kicks in when you hit Vegas so we should be good go for quite a while. Ger has already sorted transport to Harrahs for us all and after a quick check in and dropping bags off in rooms we should be good to hit Vegas. I would expect a drink in Harrahs maybe followed by a trip to a nearby casino such as the Linq or possibly even Venitian would not expect us to be going too far away from the hotel on the first night then again, it is Vegas. For all the build up and excitement stay tuned.
Just the one Poker hand today

I cannot decide if I have played this hand well or not. I raise under the gun with what is basically the bottom of my range for doing this. When the flop comes down it does not look like it has hit me and can hit a caller. He checks to me as expected and I check behind as I don"t think a bet is that great. My hand currently looks like what it is and I can get bluff raised and other silly things can happen so I thubk the flop is a check. Turn puts 3 spades out but does not really change my range. When he checks to me it basically now looks like he has nothing so I can now bet profitable I think. I expect to get quite a few calls but I can often win with another bet on the river. The river is an ace which should hit me more than him. However he COULD certainly have called the turn with the ace of spades. Then he bets out a strange amount (haf the pot) this seems weird to me to start with as an ace should check call in this hand I THINK (does not mean it will). I can"t really call with King high here as I don"t even beat many bluffs. His range feels really weak although above what I am actually holding. The bluff raise river is not an easy play to get right but this spot felt good at the tme reviewing it I am not so sure as the ace of spades may well be in his range. The thing is I also think he canm fold that as my hand suddenly looks very strong although he should be wondering why I did not bet the flop. My hand should reallly be a flush or nothing. Really not sure about this one. I suspect my river play is actually bad, and this kind of spot is why reviewing hands is important as I may well have got rewarded for bd play here which without looking back and working that out might lead to the mistake being repeated time and time again as you feel like what you are doing is good when it is actually bad.
Online cash games have been profitable again this month and my poker brain is clicking back into gear I am confident of that by the time I go to Vegas I will have my game in decent enough shape to at least have a chance of a score, obviously there are also other factors to consider.
This one has been posted a few times in the past but one of my favourites during a Vegas build up.

Hello, it is an honor to have the greatest APATer of them all in my thread, as I have said to you at the events congrats on the massive run at the start of the year and retaking the top spot in the all time rankings, it is probably the right result (for now haha). That reminds me I still owe you $10 on Pokerstars too. :-)
