1mo agoHey! 2+2 works again 😀 Been home for 24 hours now so I might as well wrap this thing up as I couldn't get on 2+2 that past 2 days.
The last day (Sunday) consisted of getting a workout in fitness center, getting in my steps, hitting the pool when opened (9am), fleeing the pool when music started (10am). Then getting cleaned up, cashing out my Venetian comps for a farewll to Vegas dinner and playing some cash. The dinner was my typical farewell with the bone-in ribeye at The DelMonico. As always it was outstanding. The cash went well for +219 so at least cash was a winner for the trip at +$623 total (woulda been more if I could just say no to bomb pots!). I also did good at bubble craps and slots and am guessing(?) about +500. Didn't play that stuff much but had some great hit and run opportunities.
The tournaments were bleak. Other that one min cash I bricked everything else for a total of -3469. I was afraid of that happening 😀 I had been running pretty hot in tournaments coming into this trip and the law of averages says that just can't sustain itself. Too many ways to get wrecked in tournaments. Not to complain but I feel that I ran pretty bad when it comes to the ever important flips and felt like I was on the wrond side of them more often than not. I also didn't seem to hit a lot of flops or turns. Not too many sets or even 2 pair and few straight or flush draws. Just felt like I was on the bad side of variance almost every tournament. I lost with 3 hands with full houses and can't recall winning with one? I am sure I made some mistakes too but felt I made to correct move most of the time.
I had fun though and will continue studying to help hone my craft. It was great getting to meet up with so many LVLers. That dinner was a truly great experience. And it seems like those last few days TJ and I were on the same schedule as we crossed paths at The Southpoint, Orleans and Aria.
Not sure if I will be able to squeeze in a fall trip or not? I will definitely do the Jan/Feb winter break though.
Thanks all for following along. And to all I met it was terrific to cross paths and part of what makes this community great. Let's all do it again next summer!...

1mo agoAfter me playing that cash game the plan was to meet up with RPoker and TJ on the Colossus dinner break. We also joined up with Prariebreeze and feel wrath and went to Batistas. So that's two dinners in a row for me at Batista's but I don't mind because I really like that place. Tonight I had the Ziti with meat sauce.
Here is your LVL Trip report crew!
feel wrath, mrbaseball, Prariebreeze, rppoker, TJ Eckleberg.
Nice to finally meet some LVL legends. I also got a chance to meet DogFace before todays tournament (he looks nothing like a dog!) but it was nice to put faces to the names of people I have been interacting with on these forums for years.
Tomorrows plan is day 1A of the 1100 Venetian senior....

1mo agoAnybody think the Trooper might be right in that poker is dead and the future is slot machines? I was on my way down to CVS to grab a few snacks because I'm just going to sit up in the room tonight and on my way I said what the hell. In for 40 out for 355 that means I got my Tournament entry from today back.
