Sunday Updates From Vegas (7/15/2012)
Sunday, July 15, 2012 at 10:24AM It's been a full week and I still haven't left Vegas. A companion and I have basically been bouncing around free rooms since Wednesday. Right now I'm at the Palazzo, which is probably the nicest hotel room I've ever stayed in (at least during my adult life). Check out is Monday, but I have Monday-Wednesday night booked at Harrah's for free. Not sure when exactly I'm leaving yet, I think one of these days something will just click in my head and I'll feel it's time to go.
I'm really enjoying Vegas so far, I forgot how much I like it. Everything is bigger and better. The casinos are beautiful. The weather is great for laying out by the pool. And the girls are better looking and really somewhat thirsty. Also, the hot asian girl per capita ratio (HAGR) is unreal. Just UNREAL.
So far it's been a successful trip. I've logged 37 hours of 5/10 and I'm up just over 4k on the cash games. I also took a shot with the 2k satellite to try to get into the main. I failed, but I had 50% of my action sold so I only lost 1k out of my pocket. And fuck I had a chance to get into the main, why not right?
The action has been wayyyy better than Borgata, I've been impressed. I've heard from several sources that the Vegas games have been drying up, but they have looked good to me. Then again it's a really small sample size and I could have just been lucky. I'm guessing they have somewhat dried up, but never during WSOP. And even the off-peak times are still going to be better than the off-peak times at Borgata. And I keep saying "Borgata" not AC because AC is Borgata for me, no other casino even gets a 5/10 game running. Vegas is nice because you have lots of options for the high stakes. I've checked out Wynn, Venetian, Bellagio, and Aria. All of these casinos have nice stable high stake traffic.
I had trouble finding a worthwhile 5/10 on Friday and Saturday in particular. Saturday I started looking at games around 4p.m. By 12a.m I had switched tables and casions several times, logging only 5 hours for -260. Finally around 2:30 a.m I found a great game and stayed until it broke up around 6:30 a.m. During those 4 hours I forced volume and won $1200, finishing Saturday profit.
I'm done playing at least until Monday. Tomorrow I'm planning on working out mandatory, I'm beginning to feel like shit from being away an entire week and not getting normal exercise. At night I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I might just go to a club or whatever. But definitely no poker Sunday, I feel I need a break. 37 hours doesn't sound like much, but that doesn't include the countless hours switching casinos and hunting for action. Not to mention it's sometimes common to not find a good game until 2a.m out here, so your schedule starts to get smashed.
Out for now, I like how I fought for the win today/tonight. Wow it's 8 effing a.m.
