1st night - TI poker Room -
Let me start out by explaining this room
6 tables . couple tv's . always at least 2 tables going. They spread 2/4 limit and 1/2 no limit. They also run a $60 tournament at 11 and 7.
We arrived on February 18th and the fun got started on a no limit 1/2 table after many shots of Patron a the video poker bar. Needless to say I played super tight for 45 minutes and then limped in with 35 suited and flopped 2 pair. Flop comes 532. He bets 15 and I push in for remaining 80 dollars. Needless to say he was hiding 6 4 offsuit for the strait and this guy raised on the button. Immediately on tilt and donked off 100 more for a net loss of -200 for opening night. PS went to dinner at the Social Club in the TI and what a great experience.We were front and center for the Sirens of TI Battle durning our Sushi and Drinks ...make sure and tip the guy a $20 at front taking reservations and ask for the best seat to watch the show outside.

2nd day -
Girlfriend goes shopping and I head to the Venetian for no limit. What a great room! Huge area great service. They spread NO Limit 1/2($300 max buy in) $ 2/5 ($500 max buy in). I saw only one 4/8 limit table. I was immediately seated at a 2/5 no limit table and bought in for $300. Was card dead for 1 hour and went to a 1/2 table. I was playing great poker for about 2 hours and here is what happened. I call 25$ preflop with AQ suited. Flop comes Q 10 7. He pushes in $50 really quick. I call and nothing on turn. He pushes in and I call with My remaining 140. River comes blank and he turns over AA and I run back to my hotel like a little girl - 300 Net total for 2 days - 500 on 1/2 no limit cash games. At this point It's time for Dinner and then some drunk donkey 2/4 limit with the girlfriend at MGM.
We went to dinner at the Wynn and then rallied down to MGM for 2/4 limit. I sat down with my girl for her first time on the table. WE had fun playing until 3 am. We both got massages during 2/4 and I hit the wheel strait flush to end the night. Me up $125 Net loss for day was -175 and the two day total of -$375 :-(

Day 3 -I woke up the next day and went down to the TI spa and sat in the steamroom and sweated out the Patron I drank from the day before. I was looking to try and recover my losees from the previous day (freakin degenerate!) So I went down to play at the Mirage. I lost another $100 quickly on the 3/6 table wehn this luckbox called with JJ all the way down with me reraising at all times with AA and he spiked a J on the river and started talking crap. This kid was dressed in pokerstars gear and was just annoying...wow...annoying. I took a break and met the girlfriend for the The price is wright at Ballys. Thats right I said it and yes we did it. Went and played at the 7pm tournament at the Mirage and bought in for $130. Right around 70 people. I busted out in 38th when my KJ ran into AJ and now it's time to go over to the TI to finish the night playing 2/4 no limit.
I played with a bunch of Jewish Guys who were there for there buddys bachelor party. One of the guys names was bone and it was a pleasure playing with them. we were having a great time. I have a quick night cap with the girlfriend and I decide to go back down to the TI room because it was my last night and I was going to leave nothing on the field. I get down there around midnight and what do you know there are 2 tangerine mixer tables! One game is all Venetian workers who just got off. The other was the local TI dealers (4)4 British houligans and Myself. Let me just say I have never had so much fun at a poker table in my life. They all called me Hasselback beacause I had My Seahawk gear on (P.S Go Hawks!). Our 3 games were Omaha 8 or better, Double flop hold em, and Crazy Pineapple and drinking shot for shot all night. Talk about drunin action. I've always read about this mix game but I didn't think I had a chance at finding one. I cashed out at 220 up 120 from my original buy in. I found this game only tuesday after midnight and it is truly fun.
Total loss for day -110
Total loss for trip so far -485

Last day-

Wake up at 10 and plane leaves at 5pm

  1. Sounds like a blast, especially that TI game. Good times.

    However, there are some corrections:

    TI is a 1/3NL game, not a 1/2NL game. Also, the Venetian's 2/5 is a 1K max, not a $500 max.

    Nice report. Thanks for posting.
