Capital Casino 6/20

Just a quick trip report because I still have to blog about my Vegas trip. But i went on God mode finally. It was pretty sick. Maybe it was just the seat or it was the perfect table. Because there was alot of players to the flop and my hands were holding. I dodge all the outs people were drawing to. It was quite sickening. Also the best part is Ace crack is back for the spin. People are gambling more with any suited connector cards because the big Jackpot is at 100,000. So they are seeing more players now that are just there to try to hit Jackpot. Pots were huge people wouldn't lay down hands, Twice i saw straight flush hit and people were not laying down 3rd best flushes to a raise reraise and cap on the river no less. That just made it a great table if your holding the nuts.I will post pics of my stack a little later plus some basic hand history.

4/8kill = +59 (3 hours)
6/12 = + 1160 (2 hours)
Total of + 1219 for about 5 hours of play.


After my first 3 hands won.


After a couple more hands won.



When i was all done racking up. Would have had a complete 7th rack if we didnt decide to mess around for the last hand.

Monday Going Home.

Nuff said.

Vegas Day Three & Four Saturday and Sunday

THis is going to be a combine trip report because I getting tired.

Woke up and had Buffet at the Mirage with May and Jwong. It was actually pretty good. I would rank this as one of the better buffets. Afterwards played some 10/20 and still lost. Played some 4/8 and lost at the Vienitian and the Beligio.

Sat poker lost may be summed up to a total of 4-500 for the day.

Sun I decided to just stick to 4/8 and we went to the wynn to play. That when every thing came together. I ended out cashing out for about 440 on the 4/8 game

.

Afterwards We played some 27 hammer game at the mirage which i made another 240 at the table.

so sunday 4/8 game came out to be about +700 day.

I will post hand history later its getting late.

Vegas Day Two Friday.

Woke up by a phone call by May telling me they were going to eat at BLT for lunch. I had a awesome Kobe burger with a fried egg on it. Yum Yum. Afterwards I checked out the 10/20 game at the Mirage. I thought I saw a good table to sit in and i sat down to the worst beats I can run into.

Quick hand history
aa loses to 67. flop was q 6 2 turn 9 river 7. He stuck around to catch two pairs on me what a soul read he said he put me on AK

Next big hand was AK loss to q10, 4 to the flop after i raise on the button. flop come k 8 2 Check to me i bet all called. Turn was 9 check to me i bet all called. river J person bets into me fold fold and i made the call. He showed his runner runner straight. Awesome.

After a few more orbits I was down close to 400 and I decided to get out of the table. I played for about 3 hours and was either card dead or just couldn't hold with any big hands. I left and decided to join Nick and the rest of the crew at Beligio. When I got there they were all ready to leave to go eat somewhere. So we went to Trevi a good pasta place to eat. Love the food there.

Afterwards we went to Mirage poker room and I sat down on another 10/20 session and the guys were planning to start a horse game at 10pm.

Drop another 200 on the 10/20 game Just ran bad.

Cant really remember much hand now but it was pretty standard plays by me and i didn't run good. left the game when I saw it was getting close to the start of the Horse game when Shifty says Jerry Buss is going to Join our HORSE game. I was like no fucking way. Well jerry did join us on our game and he had a awesome looking Asian girl sitting right behind him.

Here a excerpt from Nik blog since i am too lazy to write this out.

So long story short, Jerry played a complete rotation of Horse with us, and I think we got him for about $150, and only cause he ran kinda crappy in Razz. Everything else he seemed to play seriously, and it was pretty obv the dude just plays to win. We all made small talk for awhile, until sometime in the O8 section of the game a tiny, smoking hot asian girl in a Lakers shirt started sweating him. After that he just kinda ignored us. During the Stud8 (last game) rotation, Shabba walked in with a couple girls from his work (hot) and started introducing us to his friends. "That's Nik, Tony, Tommy, Dennis, Ryan, the owner of the Lakers..."

Everyone, including Jerry, laughed really hard at that. Good times, probably the highlight of the trip.

One other thing i can really remember about this game was Jerry actually pump fake me in the Razz hand i believe. It was kind of funny because i got all excited when he looked like he was going to raise me but decided to fold his hand.






Afterwards I met up with the two work girls and had drinks and went to the Revolution club at the Mirage.

Vegas Day One

Well I arrived at the airport 20 min before boarding. I actually for the first time got a B boarding for Southwest. I always seem to get C30 or worst. But this time I got B29 which pretty much guarantee me a seat at the window. Everyone boarded pretty fast till they announced they had a special guest that required extra time to seat. It was a disabled person and it took a while to get him loaded in. When the plane landed it was pretty much the same everyone wanted to let him out first because the flight was actually quite hard for him. So the first few people got out and they allow the airport staff to assist the person out. Which took about 30 min or so but now it was pretty much over an hour late now. When i got to the hotel i tried to do the 20 dollar tip trick to upgrade my room to a nicer one and it worked like a charm! I was very happy with the room i received. I meet up with Nik and Tony and we walked over to the Beligio poker room. That's where i met up with pika and Deuce. After a couple hours of standing around, couple of my coworkers arrived in Vegas and i decided to grab lunch with them. We went to Cafe Babba Reba or something like that for tiapia's. It was good stuff but the portions has changed. We did a little shopping at the Fashion outlet and we chilling to dinner which was at 745 at Mesa Grill. I took a little short nap and met everyone at the Mirage sports book and walked over to Mesa Grill. The Tuna Steak was to die for it was awesome. Even more awesome was the Pesto Mashed potato. Afterwards we went to the Rio to watch Shifty in the world series 1500nl event. Saw some famous poker player and decided to take of to the Mirage with Fender Shabba deuce and pika. After watch a hirlious heads up match with Shabba and deuce, we got to Mirage and i joined the 10/20 game. It was pretty much a bad table selection. Everyone was gunning for 2 players that played every hand. I pretty much was the one that seemed to donate my chips to the two chip dumpers. After being down 2 stacks Santi shows up and ask how is the table i pretty much tell him it sucks ass and i think i am done. As i was talking to him the game breaks. Oh well.... the next thing I know is its off to the Carnegie deli. Afterwards it was off to the room to catch some sleep.

Undate of life of the Donk.

Well the Vegas trip came and gone and I will be posting what happen and how I ran during the trip. I'm still running awful. Out of the 4 days there I ran horrible at 10/20 and 4/8 in til my last full day there were i decided just to play 4/8 only and i ended up a winner that day. Sucks, it would have been nice to run good at the 10/20 game instead. But i must say the high light of the trip was playing HORSE with Dr. Jerry Buss. It was good times.
