Back from Vegas- Part 1.

Unfortunately i returned back home from Vegas Thursday morning to ice cold Michigan. I got tons of pictures and plan on putting some up but i don't have them on my computer yet. I'm not really going to go into detail about the trip until i get the pictures to go along with it. So for part 1 of my back from Vegas report is going to be about my poker experiences out there. This time out there my results were very up and down and i had some pretty big swings. The first day i played at the Wynn in the 2/5nl no cap game and was playing really well and managed to be up around 900 after a fairly short session of 4 hours. This was followed by a -1300 day playing in the same 2/5 no cap game but this time i was at Caesars. I don't know what it is about Caesars but it just seems like every time i play there i get killed/bad beats. I took a pretty sick beat with aces against this old idiot who was just playing every hand and catching everything imaginable. I have AA in the bb 3 limper's so i raise to 30 and the only caller is the old guy. Flop is J78 which isn't the greatest flop but i had been playing with this guy for a while and had a pretty good read on when he had a big hand and didn't. I bet out like 50 into the 70 pot and he calls immediately. Turn is a 2 which changes nothing and at this point i have him on like 89/J10 so i decide to take it down right here and almost bet the pot of around 150, he thinks for a few then calls. The river is a 4 which seems like a harmless card but i decide to check anyways with the intention of calling any bet. Once i check he instantly bets out 400 and i think for a good minute and finally call only to see him turn over 56 off for a rivered straight. I might have laid this down vs. certain players but i had seen this guy get caught twice bluffing with huge bets on the river. The next day i played in the 2/5 game at the bellagio for only a few hours but i managed to win close to 900 and the players were just horrible. I played in the 5/10 at the bellagio for like 5 hours and was absolutely card dead so i got blinded away for like 300. The last day out there i went back to the Wynn and pulled in like another 400 but lost close to 500 in the last half hour so i shouldve been up more. Overall i had a decent week playing poker pulling in around 1300 and also went 4 out of 5 on the sports bets i made. The sick thing is that i ended up coming home with the exact amount i went out there with, i guess you could say i spent a little bit of money out there haha. Anyways that pretty much wraps up my poker report while out there so check back in the next few days to read part 2(the party report)and see the pics.
Also i played some 3/6 and 5/10 on bodog yesterday and managed to slow play kings against this idiot in the 5/10 game and won about 1k. I still cant get this stupid hand reader thing to work so i still cant show you some hands on bodog but I'm working on it and hopefully will have some up in the next few days. Anyways check back for part 2 and I'm out.

Daily total- 1,137.14
