Last night, we went to Morton's Steakhouse to celebrate Jon's win. It was scrumptious. Jon and Dragon got steak, naturally, and I had blackened salmon, yum yum. Afterwards, we went back to the apartment and played the 8 p.m. I finished 164/250 gg me. LOL. I lost a few big hands, trips to a flush, etc., and then was down to 20x the blind. I raised all in with top pair and open ended, but I believe it was a bad play. I suspected that dry_benefit, a relatively tight, solid player, who raised preflp, had AA. He almost folded actually, but he did call, and it was only 1/4 of his chips. The right call, I think. The retard who pushed had an underpair, I had top pair and open ended and AA held. I then played Aruba and lost two big hands there, and ended up getting all my money in with KQ v. 99 and of course KQ flopped a full house- what a tortured evening. The saving grace to these debacle tournaments is that I won two sats for Sun yesterday, so I was esentially free rolling on tournament dollars that cost me $50.
Tomorrow, we leave for Vegas. I am super excited, probably too excited. Is there such a thing as too excited? I don't think so. (Me rambling on my blog, sorry).
The plan is as follows. Its going to be a LADIES ONLY EXTRAVAGANZA. Ladies Only sat at Binions 12pm on Sat, Ladies Only Tournament 4 pm at Binions also, and later that evening, register for Ladies Only at Rio. Sun, wake up early, breakfast and head over to Rio. Jon will most likely play some deep stack extravaganza tournaments over at Venetian. If I bust on Sun, I will play the one on Monday over there.
I had a good conversation with my father about poker and I think he struggles with the concept of his "lawyer" daughter concentrating on poker, but at the same time, he sees my results (and Jon's as well) and he instinctively senses that poker is profitable for us as well. He actually said, well if you move to Jersey, you will be close to A.C. and you can play live tournaments often and make some real money. I was shocked.
My wish this week is to make the money in the Ladies Only event...we will see what happens.
More later,
Good money and peace,
Lucky C.
