Hey all - i intend to update this bog daily from now on. Last 3 days have been nice change of pace, I played some more poker on Wednesday day time as there was a game going, that's described below. On Thursday i moved into my new accommodation - away from the Strip, into a house in Henderson (South East side of Vegas). Im renting a room of off Ben, hes really cool guy who plays waterpolo for the Vegas team, so it seems like a good choice for transport reasons, as well as being a massive 4 bedroom house ! Here are some pics :

Poker :

Time : 3pm - 6pm 9th June

Game : 1/2 holdem

Start : $100 total bought in : $500

Finish : $240

This is probably the worse poker session i have ever had in terms of luck - i seem to get out drawn ALL SESSION LONG. There's a couple of the worse hands below, it seemed that I would always get my money in while i was ahead - a long way ahead, and as soon as they hit a bigger hand they were unable to extract any value from me. Here are a couple of the hands :

I raise JT PF all 3 call (pot=32) - 789 flop BB bets out 20 - UTG CALLS I Raise all in ($88) SB folds - get a call from BB and UTG, turn was a A - but no bets - T river and BB turns over QJ I'm thinking WOW !!! sad times for me UTG MUCKS - she could have had bottom pair shes so bad. So i lose getting my flop straight all in Vs gutshot ! great start !!

Another : 3 limper's me in BB AT - raise to 12- two callers flop = 45T Canadian lady ( complete donk ) bets 10 into 38- I raise to 35, one fold - she calls. Turn = 9 - this is good for me - she now bets out 25 into , I just call - 4 river again I think this is pretty good card - she bets 35 I call she shows Q4 - I cry :-( pot = 230 so unreal ! Sad thing about this she thought she had the best hand all the time.

All in all ended up -$260 , this brings overall total down, -$140 so far on the trip on poker.

On the day after (Thursday) i moved into Ben's house, so was chilling Thurs & Friday nights - watching alot of sports on the cable package ! :)

I played poker again last night, which over all was pretty good, I went to "Sunset Station Casino" which is one of my local ones down in Henderson, the game got going about 8pm - i was destroying it for a couple of hours, all players were pretty bad as i expected, got talking to one younger guy "Dan", hes dealing the WSOP events so he said, we got into large hand i stacked up to about 450 - he was running at 300, i have KK raising PF, he calls - it comes AK6 with two hearts on the board, i bet out into him 20 into a 25 pot, he makes it 75 - i slow it down and about 20 secs later i push all in, he snap calls me with JQ - also having a flush draw which he hit on the turn, i couldn't re-draw him for a House on the river so i shipped over $300 of hard earned money. I ended up leaving the game when it broke at about 1am with $202, as i had bought in 2 x $100 i was $2 up WOOOHOOOO.

As i said at the top - ill be updating this blog daily now - so the posts will not be this long winded ! I look forward to playing tonight and hopefully reporting a big win this time out !
