1st Blog

Well this is my 1st blog so I hope you like. I will be posting here to keep updated on how things are going as well as posting HH's looking for some constructive critisim as well as some different views. Please feel free to share all opinions.

I have been not working for about 5 weeks now and things have started off great, perfect time to heater a month IMO. To top it off I leave for Vegas Friday on a good note, had my largest cash game win last night, most hands were pretty standard but the last was the one that broke the game. We play a mix of games but the final hand was standard PLO high.

Hero QQ9-10 SSCC UTG, (guy in SB raises every pot) playing 5 handed so I limp. Button limp SB makes it 60 flat flat flat flat 300 in middle. Flop A-7-8 R 1C1S. SB leades for 300 (his range is any 4 just the style of the game), I flat, button flats. Turn Q, in a full ring I would still be cautious but in this game I have the immortal nuts, SB leads for 1200, I pot make 4800, the button snap calls 2600 all in and the SB snaps 4200 effective. At this point I am kinda scared with the SB snap and ask to open hands if they want to do any business (run twice etc.) He immediatly ask if I want to take some money back out of pot and I knew I was good then so refused obv. So after him refusing to open hand up (claiming he has 2 pair the entire time )I said RUN IT. River pairs the board A, my heart skipped a beat thinking O F, I'm sure I'm beat now, SB tables 88-j-4 and button immediatly mucks and I scoop........weeeeeeeeee.

Although there were a lot of big pots most were 5 card plo Hi/lo which are really uninteresting so with that I am off to Vegas Friday morning. Super excited, I am meeting Jerbow in Amarillo but will be on my own for most of ride. We will get there Sunday and I am going through a small Poker boot camp Monday-Weds to prepare for the series. Not sure how many events I plan on playing, most of the 1k's and 1500 PLO/NLHE events and I'm sure a lot of the Venetian deepstacks. If anybody is interested in keeping up on how its going I will try to update on here some and also tweeting (gardyone is name on there). And if anybody plans on coming out to Vegas June or July be sure and shoot me a text to hang out.
