I fly out Sunday to play in a $1,500 No Limit event that starts on Monday. I'm staying at the Rio and hopefully coming back with a little more money.

Quick report.
Played great, came back slightly poorer just to dumb luck. In the tournament I was doing really well until I lost a big pot with QQ vs KK. Then I kind of blinded away and lost a couple of 2 outers and a coin flip to be eliminated.
The cash games were really easy to beat. I was making great reads and the players were loose. I had worked $100 into about $300 before losing it to a 2 outer. The one that really killed me was when I had worked $100 into about $400 or so. I limped in pre flop with pocket 6's in early position. Few callers. Flop came 10-8-6. Various suits. I check to trap someone. 1 bet of about $30, 2 callers, I just call. Turn is another 8. At this point I KNOW that one guy has an 8 so I check again. He bets about $60 this time. Another guy calls, I move all in with my full house. He thinks, and calls. He has an 8 as I thought, with some crap kicker. I'm a 98% favorite to win the hand at this point as he has ONE out, another 8. What comes on the river? The LAST 8 and he rakes in the pot that was somewhere in the range of $1k. I went bust.
My buddy loaned me $100 to play a bit more the last day. I played for about an hour or so and made a quick $150. All in all I was down a bit for the trip, but nothing terrible. Vegas is awesome and I'm definitely going back.

Poker English.
I'll sum it up.... I was a favorite (a huge favorite at times) to win a few BIG hands. Had they held up I would have come home with at least a few thousand dollars. Some people just got extremely lucky against me is all. Either way I had an awesome time and it is easy to make money at poker out there if you are halfway decent. Lots of bad players. I just needed some more time. I'm going to try to get back out there at the end of the summer or over winter break.
