Sunday was beautiful here in Vegas, temperature hitting 37 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. I had planned to have a relaxing Sunday, soak up the sun which has done me skin the world of good - not a trace of exzama anywhere !!
One thing i noticed is that i'm missing the good old Sunday Lunch, no where in Vegas does such a thing with is disappointing, but i guess when your exploring different cultures you'll always miss one of two home comforts.
Towards the end of the day i decided i would have a crack the the poker in the local Sunset Station Casino, i fully expected there to be not a No Limit game going, as they really struggle for players for NL games, but knew there would be a couple of tables of 4/8 limit happening and i definitely have a big edge in these games. So that was the plan - i would bus it down and taxi it back and play a good few hours of 4/8.
I rocked up about 8pm, jumped onto a table and started playing, these games tend to be a bit mental, you will quiet often get a raise and re-raise so its 10$ to see the flop, and then usually 5 - 7 players will be in , so you've got a 50-70$ pot before any serious action gets going. This is pretty good for my style, playing pretty tight-ish, my range including alot of suited connectors, one gap connectors and small pairs. When i hit - i hit big and usually take the pots down. I had a couple of big hands, most exciting was with KdQd, a flop of AdJd6d came down, giving me THE NUTS - with a draw to a royal flush, which gets paid $500 instantly. Three players call my bet on the flop - turn was a blank - all three called the turn, river was another diamond - either the 2 or 3, cant remember. 2 of the remaining players call me and turned over rubbish - one had J6 the other had A2. Pretty nice pot for me 112 - so pretty happy. One of the players said he had folded the T of Daimonds so sadly there was no chance of my first Royal Flush.
The night went pretty good - I was up about 70$ total for the night, pretty nice result.
Also another thing im happy about at the casino is the quality of their hot chocolates, they are lush :
