Updated Stats & An Epic Win (Bally's, Wynn, South Point, Orleans)

It's been a roller coaster ride the past few days, though I finally broke my previous 1/2NL session record (Luxor +1624 on 6/24/08) at Bally's. The irony is that my biggest losing session took place at Bally's as well (-875). The game was pretty fun and above average action.

Day 21 (Bellagio)

Lots of action at the 2/5. Lost significant-sized pots to set/set and AQss/K4 pre-flop shove yet still showed a healthy profit. One guy apparently lost 5k in an hour or so. Made the game pretty good. If only all the games were like this!

Day 19 (South Point, Bellagio)

Played 2/5NL at South Point (I think for the first time ever). This game barely runs. The game was actually pretty tough in relation to the standard off-Strip casinos. Lots of decent regular players I've played with at other places. Ran/played somewhat bad. 

South Point 1/2NL: 5m -2
South Point 2/5NL: 2h10m -589

Drove to Bellagio and played 1/3NL. It was probably the best 100bb max game I've ever played in. Lots of action. I badly misplayed at least a couple of hands; missed lots of value, giving free cards when I shouldn't, and not taking a free card when I obviously should. Regardless I ended up with a decent profit (though could've easily been +1k). I left some good money on the table, though I don't feel too bad as I met my hourly quota for the day and was tired anyways.

Day 15 (Wynn, Red Rock Station)

Uneventful sessions: 

Red Rock Station 1/2NL: 3h30m -13

My TV crush's new restaurant. I would love to try it one day.

A Short Break & Day 14 (Red Rock Station)

Pretty decent game. The bad beat jackpot hit at GVR, so players playing at any Station Casinos while that happened got a share of it. Nice little "rebate." It would have been awesome to be involved in that hand (quads/straight flush).

Red Rock Station 1/2NL: 2h -86

Day 10 & 11 (Wynn, Red Rock Station, South Point)

Nothing really productive. Pretty sure I made the South Point 1/2NL game good.

Red Rock Station 1/2NL: 5h -22 
South Point 1/2NL: 2h55m -763
Wynn 1/3NL: 40m +53

Enjoyed the Heat/Spurs Game 1 and ate a pretty good meal at Wazuzu (Encore) afterwards. Drunken Noodles w/ Chicken, Nasi Goreng, and Mongolian Beef. The service was excellent as well.

Decent Red Rock action.

Day Nine (Red Rock Station)

I'm putting in freeroll hours for Station Casinos as well. Asides from being ~13 miles away, Red Rock has pretty much everything I could hope for. Green Valley Ranch's action is sometimes better, though the 2/5NL doesn't run that often. 

Played at 4 different tables. One was out of the norm and actually pretty tough. The rest were pretty standard, which equates to really good (love playing against certain locals). 

Red Rock Station 1/2NL: 2h -10

Red Rock Station 2/5NL: 6h5m +494 

So tired near end of session that I forgot to take pic of chip stack.

Day Eight (South Point)

More action than usual at South Point. I was hesitant to play there for the freeroll (100hrs by June 30 to qualify) as it is generally a waste of time to play in their 1/2NL game. People fold ALOT here. I did some calculations and I would have to make the final table to make up for the difference in expected winrate between 1/2NL and 2/5NL over 100hrs (10th place pays $2k). But of course my goal isn't to mincash; I wouldn't be completely satisfied playing any tournament without finishing 1st. 

Sacrificing 100hrs during WSOP is tough, but if last night's game was an indication of this month's games, it should be worth the time. Plus I live within walking distance, which might actually be the main factor. On the plus side, there are worse jobs than grinding two weeks of nitty 1/2NL (though not many. lol! just kidding..kind of). Time to pad those 1/2NL stats. 12.5h completed, 87.5 to go. 

South Point 1/2NL: 9h5m +1166

Net 1/2NL: +659 

Time Played: 47h20m

A Couple Days Off & Day Seven (Wynn)

Took some time off. Played in a decent 1/3NL though it eventually got somewhat tough/bad so I left. 

Wynn 1/3NL: 7h5m +411

Some horses I saw at South Point.

Two all-ins preflop. Both players had KK; one caught runner runner flush. Wanted to chop it pre too. Run good/run bad. 

Fuddruckers (Buffalo Burger w/ The Works & Fudd Loaded Fries). Top five burgers ever!
