Got some catching up to do, blogwise. After spending 3 fun-filled days in Vegas and having family visiting all this week, I am seriously behind in blogging. I would try to consolidate all my Vegas adventures into one easy reading, but think maybe dividing into chunks is the way to go. I would like to start with my 2nd tournament played. Don and I were looking for a great tourney and had narrowed it down to the Aria and the Wynn. The Aria was more "affordable" at $150 buy-in, while the Wynn was playing a huge guarantee with a $300 buy-in. We opted for the Aria, deepstack with long blind levels (30 minutes). Don got snapped early with his set of aces cracked by a flush and I played alone for the next 5 hours. There were around 100 entries and I finally busted out around 30th place. As a short stack in the big blind, the small blind pressured my by putting me all in....thanks buddy, I have 8/8 vs. your J/9. He hit a jack on the flop and I was done.
Earlier, I had flopped a set of 7's vs. AK on an ace high flop. Nice. He called my flop bet, then wised up on the turn when I bet large. His comment, "I have to respect the hat". The phrase has stuck in my head.
More blogs to come soon.
