Vegas visit

Another trip to Las Vegas. I played 7 tournaments and won 1, bubbling 2 of the others including the Venetian which would have been a decent payday. I bubbled with AA v KK al-in preflop and the flop bringing a K. The shame was is was approx 40BBs in the pot and I would have had enough to make a good run at the final table.

I lost 2 buyins in a cash game in a similar manner. In one I had Jd-10d and the flop came Qh-9d-8d giving me the nut straight and a redraw to a straight flush. I managed to get all the money in on the flop with a guy calling me with 1.8-1 odds to chase his ace high flush draw....and hitting on the turn!! The next showdown a dew hands later was KK v JJ all-in on a low-card flop and my opponent rivering a set.

In fact I lost with KK 5 times in 2 days.

Overall the trip was a success. I clawed back my buyins playing low-limit stakes at Monte Carlo and Osheas. I was in Vegas for 4 days to play poker and 4 days to play in a soccer tournament.

I still love it. I cannot wait for my next visit!!
