Got to Mandalay Bay ~3 hours before UFC 62
(which was great). PLayed at a passive 1-2NL
table, that included a couple of calling stations. Up over two racks with minimal risk.

PLayed 4 hours of Bellagio 2-5NL saturday
evening. Tough table, with majority of players
knowing each other/others playing tendency.
On the other hand, I got no early respect from
the table, and certainly didn't expect
check-raise bluff on turn/river. So ended up
slightly positive, but not a comfortable table
by any means.
Wandered over to Aladdin. Should have done my
homework. Place is a mess. Hit up by two hookers on the way to the "poker room".
Sad location, noisy, smokey..........but had
a 2am tournament (only in LV?). 20 minute rounds
that doubled the blinds. Basically, from level
3 onwards, pretty much an all-in fest. Bubbled
out, and left for airport. I would avoid Aladdin
until the redo is finished.

best,gary
