Sory about that folks.
The hotels charge $14.00 per hour for time so I thought that I would write it down instead and bring you up to speed when I hit the road home.
In Oregon right now and ready to get home to the coolness of Victoria although Rejeanne informs me that it is damn hot there.
SO....we begin with day one:
So,my first night in Vegas did not exactly go one as planned.\:<(
Played a cash game and sat....and sat....and sat...nearly 3 hours of crap. No pairs,no connectors, and little to work with.
Unlike tourney play,one can afford to sit and wait for a hand but this was getting silly. There were Aces everywhere,straights,multi pairs etc. Crap.....I rarely hit any part of the board when I folded. This was a continuation of the crap that had happened in Palm Springs. Statistically it was almost impossible to go that long without hitting anything!
Was able to get my stack up to about $300 from my $200 buy in due to a hand I had won at the beginning when I called what I thought was a big bluff at the pot by some drunken fool. My read was correct but that was about it for the next few hours.
Finally I hit my fave junk hand in the cut off position. An 8-5(hearts)! Yep...I am aware that it is crap but it has won me alot of money over the past couple of years.
Anyway....everyone limps and I decide to bet $20 and steal the blinds and limp money right there. Since I have not played a hand in two hours I thought that I was gold. OOPS! Everyone folds but drunken old guy(even older than me). I am not happy but do have position on him. The flop is a gem!!! A 6-7-9 rainbow!. Drunk guy burps loudly and then checks to me. I decide to try and get some money out of this as he likes to chase and bet $35.00 into about a $54.00 pot. He thinks and then calls. Next card is another 5 but this one is a diamond(see where I am going with this?). I can't really put him on anything other than an over pair.....maybe a set of 5's...maybe 2 pair? He has made some pretty loose calls but....I see nothing there that will hurt me. Obviously he is an something but I feel safe unless the board pairs I am safe so...I decide to make him pay just in case and I go all in for the remainder of my stack. He sits and thinks....and thinks...and thinks...and belches and thinks some more,and he calls me with......an A-10 of diamonds!!!!! He spent all of that money with nothing and now he has a chance to hit and kill me. Needless to say he hit the diamond and I was toast. An awful beat and I am now on a losing streak to hands that should have never even been in the pot to begin with.
I am not having a good feeling about this trip all of a sudden.
I stood up and said "Good hand sir," and walked out of the casino to hit the midnight buffet. Hopefully things will change in the next couple of days(not the buffet which was great...but my poker luck.
Another update to follow tomorrow.
