Finally a good freaking day, hey it only took me a week. Boy does patience and trying to play good for week pay off and so does not playing 1/2 while you are waiting for a 2/5 seat.
Slept in, woke up around 3:30pm had a message from a nice couple I met last week and have been kinda hanging out with since then telling me there was some good 2/5 games over at the Taj. So I got my ass up and going, hopped in the shower and headed over to the "House of Dirty Chips" otherwise known as the Taj. Got on the list for the 2/5 games and headed up to grab a bite to eat. Ended up losing my spot on the list, so I put it back on again and again once more cause I went out for a smoke and missed my spot again oh well beats playing 1/2 and shipping it right.
Finally they open up a new table and I grab $300, cause I love to short buy on a fresh 2/5 table. Don't ask me why and don't tell why I should buy in for the max when everyone else does cause I'm not listening and I don't know why I like to do it, I guess I like to be behind LOL. I'm just superstitious I guess and it usually pays off.
We are like 5 handed for a few minutes but the table quickly fills and a few hands in I pick up 77 in LP super aggro guy to my right makes it 20 to go I call as do 2 or 3 others and we see a flop. Flop comes 689 rainbow, checks around to super aggro kid who bets 60, I min-raise his ass cause I read it as a c-bet and he min re-raises me, so I just push for about 125 more and he calls. Turn brings the 5 ding ding ding and the river a red Ace and I table my hand and double up. Don't have a clue what he had, he said nice hand and mucked his and I took it down.
Little while later I picked up KcQc in MP and call a $20 preflop raise from the ATM (my new definition of ATM >Asian with a Ton of Money) in the one seat as do 3 others. Wow this guy in the one seat was in the game for like 2K in less then and hour. Older Asian gent who rarely folds and love to call raises. Well flop comes out QsAc3c checks to me and I got the ATM behind me in the one seat so I lead out 45, ATM makes it 150 guy to my right who was a tool at best goes in the tank and folds. I smooth call the 105 raise and watch a pretty lil club fall on the turn, so I check cause I know Mr. ATM is gonna shove and guess what he does for about $250. Well I guess I'll call since I have the nuts and this hand played out perfectly LOL. I think I might be dodging an A or Q on the river but that might be giving him to much credit. I make it out alive and table my winner and scoop another nice pot.
Played another few pots and ended up calling it quits around 1am up a few bucks over $800. Headed out to smoke a cig and decided to stick $40 in a dollar slot and end up making another $100 woops. You guys should just stake me on slot machines, you really should, hahaha.
Anyway call it a night say goodbye to my friends and head back over to Harrahs and decide to play some $15 Black Jack and drink a beer to relax and I'm only a few points away from my Platinum card. Decide to sit at a fresh table cause all the other ones had a bunch of drunk and rowdy guido's sitting at them and I just wanted to chill. So I pull up a chair and pull out 5 Benji's and sit down. I get hit in the head with 8 decks and start pressing my bets a bit and am quickly up $200 and some change. I tell myself if I get back down to just greens which is my profit I'll get up, well I go on another nice lil run and get up when the table fills up and this guy keeps staying on 15 when the dealer is showing a 7 8 9 or 10 which is a must hit. I accidentally pick up another $300 overall, its nice to get up from the Black Jack table with a purple and 3 black chips woo hoo!
Its been a good day, but I am still about ready to go home. As I am sitting in my room watching the sunrise over a nice bay view, oh and watching the coast guard helicopter circle around the bay. Along with the half a dozen search and rescue boats circle about in the water most likely searching for someone who probably jumped off the bridge that goes across the bay right outside Harrahs. I really wonder how people do this every day, all this degeneracy and drunkenness, people with hopes of hitting it big only to loose there last $100 or $20 to the jaws of the viscious slot machine, its rough to not be pulled under into the dark side of this crazy place when you have been here for so long. It can be a nice place and I have met some really nice people up here but lordy I sure don't think I could live here.
Well I am heading to bed at 7am so tune in tomorrow where I'll try to sum up my trip and get ready to go home.
