I find it best to not try and bluff weak loose players. jq hand is a fold.

$150 down is an incredible result. My losing figure normally has a couple more zeroes on the end. Keep up the good work and enjoy it.

Been pretty busy since mum and dad arrived done another lap of the casinos also Ben to see jersey boys had more gambling time an less poker time. Will post full update later but needed up in a fun 1/2 game tonight at southpoint I was up like 300 and sat with 570 now. 2 guys had me covered and all 3 of us are the only ones playing big pots. It's straddled to 4 and there are 3 limpers I make it 32 with 45 suited and three callers including the two guys playing big pots. Flop come a54 two hearts. I Cbet for 65 one fold . One big pot man call other guy shipped for 350. I re ship for 500 ish other guy snaps me off I thought now he snapped he had like a4 or a5... They Both had flush draws and bink heart on the river only about at 1600 pot pretty gutted was playing well. And now I'm home in bed! Up early for the rugby today I need a morale boost! Common England!

Obv unlucky run out mate, but seems a little bit too loose of an open? Sounds like there's a lot of calling stations who are never folding and are mostly outflopping you here, gonna be -EV in the long run with similar plays. Playing ABC tight-aggressive, setmining/drawing for cheap - surely better if they're calling whatever you bet pre?

I agree to an extent but one of the guys had spewed 500 in like 20 mins considering the average pot before he joined the table was like $20 that's some going! I wanted to be in as many pots as possible with him. I make it so big so only the two whales call I don't mind them calling my hand is pretty easy to play post flop if it comes like 1052 it might get tricker but the majority of the time I'm going to have an easy time. Also they still think I'm very tight only shown one hand. And I had the nuts. It's pretty easy pre. Basically all the locals were going to get out the way unless they had a big hand. Noone was sat deep enough to just flat with mediocre, apart from me and the two othe guys. I also ha position so plenty of time to re evaluate post flop.

For me positives are deep stacked, with whales, with position, with a Hand that can be very well disguised.

Btw just to reiterate my point I got called by q8 and 62.

Yeh difficult one. With maniacs that I think are competent I definitely go this way. As they can make your life hell. But with me thinking these guys were bad I figured I was happy to play with them!!

Aye, as long as you can get away when you hit flops sideways etc. Any more tournies planned? If so hope you have a deep run mate.

Thanks fella no comps until my mum and dad go there not really the most sociable of things! Especially as we are doing shows etc.

I think there is a $400 comp on Tuesday at the Venetian that I will play! Decided I'm going to win the last comp I play here! Was going to win the first but thought best to end the trip on a high!

Ha, good decision! no point winning til the end either i reckon, far too much of a distraction if you won one at the start of your holiday

Back in the profit! Sorry for lack of updates again time has been limited with mum and dad here plying a lot les poker and not been sat on the shuttle as much as we have been getting cabs.

Anyway today we went aroun ti, Wynn, Venetian. Then had dinner at the lemongrass restaurant in aria. I love that place I'm a big fan of Thai food and it was like $40 each for starter main course and drinks. Not bad considering mum wa on champagne and dad on wine!

I completely forgot as I napped this afternoon that me and my dad came into town early and watched the me of the united game and then the rugby ( both big rugby fans) watching us eat the French in Vegas that wa great fun. We whatched at planet Hollywood as they put it on in the sports book for us. After the game we played for 2 hours at the aria. I ended up down.... 1 buck! And my dad lost a bit more but after dinner tonight we both smashed it I won like $700 he won like $400 so happy days!

Tomorrow mum and dad are getting a car'! Woop freer oolong trips to the strip for two days what a life!

We are going to the Beatles show love tomorrow an the. I think bellgio or ceasers for a buffet after.

Monday we are doing the Grand Canyon helicopter trip I believe. Mum has said they will give it me as my 22nd birthday present also which is a bonus ball! After that we are going to go free mount street thn mum and dad set of for San Francisco on Tuesday so it will be back on the grind. Some sick spins hopefully and I'm going to be playing some 2/5 maybe 5/10 if 2/5 goes well! Tuesday Wednesday will be big degen days and hopefully some sick spins. Hope I run good.

Will recommend it. They are doing Alcatraz for sure. They are staying in some sick hotel in San Fran apparently and thn the bellagio when they get back here. Treating themselves for putting up with each other for 25 years. I call it spending my inheritance!!! Bastards who's money do they think it is. My dad is planning his life to spend every penny. I'm planning on playing him heads up for the last few days of his life I figured I'm on a win win!
