Tournament poker is my jam and unless WSOP or MSPT come to town I am uninterested.

I 100% agree with this sentiment as it pertains to our portion of the map.

I'm thinking I should just make more LV trips

As a reader, this is the outcome I’m rooting for most 😀

I considered playing in both the Hammond and Elgin series and after reading this and rppoker's report I'm glad I didn't. It was well worth just making a trip over to Vegas instead, much more enjoyable over there.

The new Bally's is coming up nicely:


Unfortunately it probably would never have the circuit since it's not a Caesar's property, but have high hopes for the room. Hopefully they can spin up some good tournament series.

Just busted in fourth place paid 1985 for profit of 1585. Knock out hand I had an over pair to the board and he had a set we got it in and that was that. I'll probably talk more about this tomorrow right now I'm off to a celebratory dinner....

How does Venetian compare to other games like the ones at Aria or Bellagio Do the bomb pots actually help drive action in your experience

During WSOP last year at a 1/3 table during bomb pot I won a $2200 pot where both of my opponents only played one board and both of them misread their hands and kept piling in money thinking they had straights.

The level of play is insanely bad so if you have any idea how to play PLO you can print infinity money...

Went to get one of my all-time favorites for dinner bone-in ribeye and steak fries at delmonico. As always it was fantastic. Way better than that steak I had at Phil's in the Treasure island. Phil's and Delmonico are very similar in price point. But that's where the similarity ends. Delmonico has way better atmosphere it has way better service and it has way better food. Even with a $40 discount Phil's wasn't worth it. If I ever get another food deal at the Treasure Island I will spend it all in the coffee shop and Gilley's.

I am basically exhausted. It's been a very long week so I decided I was going not to play anymore poker after dinner. I did want to hit the casino though and take a shot just to see what happened. I played video poker and did pretty good I want about $150 so I ran $100 bill into $250 ticket which I put into a bubbles craps machine and I basically was up a little down a little up a little down a little and left with about a $10 profit from that. But that's pretty much a wrap on this trip I'm back up in the room right now I'm just going to relax until I get everything packed away and hopefully I don't miss my flight tomorrow. Once I get home I'll give him more detailed update on some of the tournaments in action that I played in it was a great trip and I want to thank you all for following along....
