Bellagio Five Diamond, Day 3 & 4
Tourney, Cash games, Pure, Dinner Lets see lets see... Saturday night was quite the night I must say. We ended up in a booth on the roof at first and then got moved downstairs to the stage. It was a good time to say the least. Making their appearances throughout the night were Brandon Cantu, Dutch Boyd, Michael Gratz, Troy Gibson as far as well known names go. Also in the party was myself, Jared, Doug, Zach, Jim Shipley, Poff, Topher, Andrea (oops!), Tawni, and probably many other people that I forgot. It was a good time.Dutchie and I somehow made it back to the Bellagio by noon to play in the $2500 NLHE event. Dutch busted out quickly, and I had one of those middle of the road tournaments where I was average forever and then short forever and finally busted out 58th of 228. We had some sushi for dinner and I spent most of the night playing video games and chilling. Woke up, dropped Doug off at the airport, and headed in to the Bellagio by 11am.
We finally got a second 100-200 game started around noon. I put in just over an eight hour session and it was quite the roller coaster. Hour one I blew about a thousand. By hour two point five I was up over six. NICE. I really felt like this was going to be a huge session, and then hour five arrived... and I was stuck again. ARRRRG. I moved up five to the six seat just left of one of the worst, most predictable, loose players ever. He showed me at least one of his cards every freakin hand, and sometimes both. Now, at the 100-200 level, you should be protecting your hand. I looked. And couldn't do anything with the information, and when I could I blew my brains. Stuck. I then started a slow climb back and finally quit up almost 4k. It definately was a good session, I was very happy with my play, and I left satisfied with the day.
The one interesting hand came up shortly after I moved to the main game. I only knew the playing style of one player on the table and all my reads were peliminary. One late 20's asian player with a ton of chips in front of him limps in UTG+1, I look down at K K in the hi-jack and raise. The player to my left in the cutoff, early 50's pacific islander man re-raises with about 1k in green and one flag in front of him. All fold to the limper who four bets, and it smelled kinda funny. I capped it, and the player called behind. The flop with $1650 in the pot came K (on the window... nice)5 A (not nice). Check, I bet, call, call. The turn came 7 , and the early player bet. I called, late player folded. The river came Q , early player bet. Can I fold here? $2250 in the pot, costs me $200. I have to be beat her 11 times out of 12 to make folding right. I don't think I can, but another good one for discussion.
After my session I ran into David Williams and his friend from home Adam at Fix and joined them for dinner. David was on dinner break. We had good conversation that I can't talk about for various reasons... but it was good. Headed home, and here I am! Going out to the lake tomorrow and will probably play some live games tomorrow night. Then Wednesday Lara comes into town (yay!) and I'm playing the $1500 NLHE event #6.
Peace and good luck!
