Only 100 runners, but this is higher end of my buy-in range, actually def out of range for my roll, so the bigger the cash the saltier.
A top 2 finish could make up all my losses here in LV, which would be ironic if its playing online while 3 miles from strip that makes up for me.

Coming in 4/9. 1/9 has a big stack and is a reg grinder on here, so it'll take some effort!!

GL, but why arent you out getting shitcanned & living it up?

I think this was right. We've had history this tourney. His range is wide, but he's betting the whole lot, nuts and air. I'm not stacking off here. And I know the clear though is call and re-evaluate...but this guy also will double barrel regularly, plus any made low and he's firing leaving me guessing for a half pot.

20 hour day the day when we came in tuesday. 20 hour day yesterday. I had to take a breather. Dropped the housemates off at the superbook at 430AM again today to get the prime seats for game watching. Figured I'm planning on bouncing around a bit, plus going to new found glory concert in early evening, so I would just come back here and chill and get some energy for the day. Def a good question tho

lol, I hear ya. Im railing for you, btw.

[MaxStPolish]

SHIT. Coulda shoved pre/flop/turn. But this guy had to propensity to hang himself I felt. He's calling my raise on flop though I think so I do hold solace. But dammit.

I'm still trying to calculate the bricks that river hit. I'll use this break to check the numbers.

Edit: Still 25% to scoop this pot after the turn, with 37% equity to chop.

Untimely brick. And i should have shoved that flop for sure. Bah.

[MaxStPolish]

Still steamed by the bricker hand.....HOWEVER.
That left me with 1.5 BB's with 6 left. I was able to scoop a hand in big blind and then take a small multi-way pot in small blind to build a stack comparable to those in 4th/5th places. Within that revolution both those guys got KO'd, both times taking turn/river bricks to prevent them from earning a chop.

Then with 5BB's I ran AKKQ single suit into AAxx(no low) BvB, got a Q and suit draw on turn to give me some outs, but no dice.

Disappointed...but came in 4th, took 4th, and the way it happened it was like a free jump from 6th to 4th place money, which is big.

Alright, enough of this. Time to show and do me one more day of LV. Sportbook owes me a lot of farking cash.

Killed me. Bookie killed me (unless NMST can cover MSU and the over hits, then im okay)

Then pai gow poker killed me.

Then i played the worst hour of 1-3NL ever. Just donated 200 to the game without so much as taking a pot down. Pushed off pots, showing down just behind. Awful days from a $$$ standpoint. Here's my trip report. Vegas ****ing rules that it takes my money every single time. Every, single, time.

Cleaning up and off to a concert. God knows they will find a way to get me to drop 300 bucks sitting by myself listening to bands that I enjoy at the HOB.

LOL, okay, done being sour. NMST is going to give me something to somewhat smirk and the show will rule. And our house here is still sick and the weather is still sick as well.

And people are sick, dying, etc. etc. I'm in pretty good shape. I just wish i was on a mutha ****ing boat.

no PLO over there? lol

[MaxStPolish]

no PLO over there? lol

There's no live PLO anywhere that is below 2/5. And in a game where 2/5 plays like 5/10....Im never going to feel comfortable playing in it, no matter how strong my game. Thank god the show friggen ruled. Vegas was a financial A-bomb.

The venetian game is 1/2 with a 500 max buy in and plays as a red chip game post flop, I bet that'd be fun

True....but I can all but assume it's a straddle-fest essentially making it a 1/2/5 game. Granted the 500 max helps try to pull the game's ears back a little bit, but it's still going to play like every bit of a pure 2/5 I would think. This is totally speculative though.
