raise the flop ffs

Boondoggled it up at Nobu (caesars)last night. Its overpriced but really good sooo whatareyougunnado.

I designed the play around dealer standing soft 17. When the dealer hits its ackshually pretty spensive. Unfortunately the only s17 games are 300+ min which is a little moar than Id like to start with especially if Im not even sure they gunna accept my action. So i need to spend some time working on a h17 play package so as not to give up too much.

SPC played the plo at aria last night and spanked em good. There were 2 grinders 2 wanna b grinders and a couple o tourists. None of em had done any preflop solver work according to spc who has spent countless hours working on preflop skillz. Table lasted through the night.

Had another wonderful breakfast at tableau (wynn).

If you go again, get the Omakase. Best meal I've ever had in my life to that point and easily still in the top 3.

@ machron - thank you for the intel. Next time we go to Nobu we will get the omakase.

Boondoggled dinner tonight at stanton social (caesars). Weve dined there a few times and its quite good imo. Meal was great - tried a new desert Limoncello Tiramisu (waiter said it was a favorite) we both thought it was weak was weak. All in cost tree fiddy

worked on h17 presentation package. Just heard from spc after she wrapped her first session which went very well. Conditions were perfect for what we were trying to achieve so spirits are high and I think this will be both doable and much fun...hopefully we can ride the gravy train and boondoggle on their dime!! That being said there is a fair amt of work that needs to be done away from the felt to get this 100% dialed in.

by away from the felt, you mean family restrooms of course?

Squid- which other eateries are on the agenda?

Miami - We just got back home. this trip as designed short for scouting and gettting "set up". The way conditions stand and my history SPC will be doing all the wagering on the felt for now. We are giving up almost .5% if we were to stick to flat bet basic with no count correlated bet size increase as well as not leaving really bad shoes. 1/2 of a point doesnt sound like much but its ALOT on an hourly basis then wagering black chips+. So we have a bunch of work to do in order to play this game proppah. We will be heading back ready for action in the not too distant future and boondoggling will return.

We both are excited to try Cantina Contramar Fontainebleau. You have any recs??

The properties are letting you know that you are still unwelcome at the gaming tables? Or is it spidey senses

I haven’t been but I’ve heard Carbone is fantastic. Same with the new Indian place at aria.

I enjoyed the staples the last few times I was there: Javier’s, Lotus of Siam.

Jean George was a disappointment.

Bazaar Meat was hit and miss.

the properties I have no history with offer S17 BUT with a 300$+ minimum - this simply does not work for what we are trying to accomplish.

What is ideal is an action packed scene with 100 minimums and s17. We found action packed scene with 100 min h17. We can work with this but to counter the cost of h17 work needs to be done. h17 is quite spensive.

Thanks for the info!!

SPC loves Indian so we will def hit the joint at Aria.

I have not been to lotus in ages. Used to do Chada late night when we lived in vegas sadly it closed - I think it was a former chef or part owner of lotus who opened it...we def need to hit lotus again

Lotus is fantastic

For the Indian spot, what I was told is they don’t take reservations and you should try to show up when they open.

I am unsure if this is true or not. I didn’t end up looking deeply into it since my co-workers that I was with weren’t interested :(

Happy Star Wars Day, degens.

If I'm ever presented with a dinner bill that large, there better goddammed be 10 people at the table.

You have to speculate to accumulate ..:

Where I'm from Yellowtail is $5/bottle 😃

It took me a sec, ngl. ROFL.

I've liked dry Riesling with oysters in the past---don't miss Neptune if you're ever in Boston---and something like that or sake is probably what I'd have with the sushi/sashimi. Not that anybody asked, lol.

Smoke-enthused craft cocktails are certainly festive though. The lychee/elderberry one looks delicious.

Damn, now I want sashimi for lunch.

well played 😀

Happy Mother's Day, degens. Don't forget to call your moms!

Hello Woodlawn Cemetary?
I would like to speak with plot 621
Thanks

Definitely call your mom if you can if you haven't already spoken with her. It has been 29 years since I could.
