A few years ago for my brother's 40th, 3 couples went to Vegas. After a long day at wet and dinner at Tao everyone heads back to room except me and brother. (Looking back I feel so stupid) I'm feeling a little ran down and full and he wants to go to strip club. "Let's go to Rhino, I'll give you a couple of thousand". I'm like nah I don't feel like it. We end up walking to Cromwell. Go to high limit room and he buys in for 2k. Plays for a bit, is up 1k. I'm feeling lucky. Bets 3k. Gets 66 vs 4. Get a 10 and stays. Gets a four and doubles. Next card a 5. But none of that shit matters b/c dealer is going to bust, right? Under card was a 10. Score! Next card a 3 for 17. Fucking Al of that b/c I didn't want to go to the strip club. I'm a terrible brother.
Went to L'Auberge du Lac LC this past weekend. Sat down at a $25 table with $1500 was betting between $50-$250/hand. Got up to $2ksomething and had a bad run. Now down to $1,600. I bet the entire stack. Get delt AA vs a K. I only have $1,100 in my pocket. I ask PB if I can go to ATM. He allows it (I'm only person at table). The entire time I'm thinking to myself "WTF are you doing El Barto?" Get back to table and asked if they peeked to see what dealer had. They didn't. Put the money down and said a quick prayer to Allah, Jesus, and Timbuktu. I get a face on both and dealer had a 9. Holy shit, I couldn't believe it. I only played 2 or 3 more hands and left, I couldn't concentrate. This is from a later session with $1500 buy in
Hilarious. I've been going to Prime social in Houston the past 4 weeks. The first couple of times I went, I just paid for lessons. But since then I've been doing OK. My Indian pals got me into playing PLO. So that's what I've played the past few sessions at Prime.
Bought in for $400
And bought in for $600
Here's an update on my phone poker app with gas station guys. I'm on week five, couldn't find week one's individual sessions but I know I was down $525. Yesterday's session (1425) was about an hour long. Each cell is net net session, bottom is net day, and very to is net total.
