Okay, guess it's my duty to write down some trip details.

1) I'm majorly disappointed that I didn't meet up w/ 2Tone. Should've attempted to coordinate things I guess.

2) During my stay, I played the 4/8 game at the Wynn, but mostly 8/16 there. I killed the 4/8 game. I had old men calling my preflop raise as I hit trip aces. I'd get called down to the river and then get mysteriously raised on the river to call and see a busted straight draw, lol.

The 8/16 game was on the tighter side of things, but as I said earlier, generally between the hours of 2 and 6 am, the game would get down to 5-6 handed. That definitely worked to my advantage. However, the entire stay I was absolutely card dead. In fact, the 10-2o is now named "The Wynn" because I saw that hand at least twice an orbit for fucking days straight. I ended up down about 10-15 bets for the entire trip. Somewhat disappointing.

3) The $500 Wynn tourney was a bust. I went out 40/66 or something weak. Basically, I would raise AJ in MP, get a late position caller, miss the flop, my pot-size continuation bet was ALWAYS called, and I would check/fold the turn. 1h 45m later and I'm busto. Lots of fun, but just no momentum.

Observations:

1) The Wynn cocktail waitresses are fucking supermodels. All 9s and 10s. Unbelievable.

2) The Wynn staff was unbelievable. So professional and courteous. I just flirted with the manager for a few minutes every day and she generously comped me a buffet dinner for two. The buffet was fucking amazing.

3) I despise live cash games. 4-tabling 6-max has definitely spoiled me because 1-tabling live and being card dead bugged the shit out of me. Live tournies = awesome, but online cash games have ruined live games for me

4) Even if I get a decent job offer, I just don't think I'd want to live in Vegas.

5) Wifey bailed me out on the river w/ a trip saving $250 cash on a nickel slot. Break even baby!


Kind of a lame report and a lot of funny details are left out, but I really need to play some party hands tonight and I'm over it.

Peace y'all.
