Vegas Jan 12-17 via Swoop
Heading to vegas next Sunday morning at 9am and taking swoop out of Hamilton. Anybody who’s flown from Hamilton before know how far in advance i should be there to be safe? Never flown from Hamilton before.

Extra info, there is no Roma pizza there.
I really like Swoops schedule for this as you get 5 1/2 full days in Vegas as I remember.
What are you paying for your return flight? A little over $200?
I was thinking 90 mins would be plenty, especially with such an early flight time on a Sunday and Swoop’s track record with delays. No luggage, just carry on. I flew from Kelowna last year on swoop, and 60 mins was plenty of time.
I agree, the schedule is excellent. It’s basically 6 days of play with only 5 hotel nights and I love taking the redeye home. That was a big factor, not to mention the $220 return fare. 🤑
Thanks for the info.
No luggage - download your boarding pass to your phone. No need to check in. Go straight to security. 20 min before flight tops (serious).
One time I went through security and forgot my penknife on my keychain - I turned around, walked back to my car, dropped off the knife and went back through security - total time - 10 min.
90 min? WTF? - you will have time for 3 Timmy's and have to pee badly by the time the plane boards and you will burn through 25% of your phone battery.
Don't forget all swoop seats have usb ports for charging though.
Thanks. 👍🏻
Even after clearing the gate in Hamilton, their is a small area still inside where you can watch the lineup to get on the plane until it almost clears before you go outside.
Hint: Make sure your boarding pass name matches your passport. lol, it could have caught me.
Weather was a little dodgy yesterday so the wife insisted on leaving early, just in case of poor driving conditions.
After dropping her at Pearson first, i arrived in Hamilton right at 8 am and was at the gate by 8:15, which was perfect since we actually boarded early (and then spent an hour sitting on the tarmac for de-icing).
Good call.
Gettin’ beat like I stole something.
oops, try to play less than 15 hands per hour..
I think I’m down to 15 hands per day.
there are 3 tables of 5-10 going at the Bellagio right now. Jump in and get loose.
Venetian poker... that makes my blood boil. haha. Take it down!
Yeah, The cash games are definitely infuriating.
Top 2 vs bottom set with 30bb stack vs wide aggro player.
Can never fold.

Currently at 3rd break and I'm the chipleader by a slim margin over 2 other players with 60bb and we’re on the money bubble. 🥳
121 runners, 15 places paid, 4k up top.
Send rungood 😀
Now at FT with avg stack. Lost a big hand when my AK < AQ.
Still have 30 bb and avg stack tho.
Did not run well since last break but still alive with 12bb and 6 players left. Top 5 make 1k min. Got caught bluffing the river after missing a draw, but otherwise have played solid.
Now i just need some hands to
Jammed 10bb from utg with AcJh and bb calls with A6 off. Flop is QTxhh, turn is 6h, river is a brick.
So i took Mike’s advice and went to the Bellagio with my winnings to play some 2/5 and here’s how it went down.
Call 20 from the button in a 5 way pot with AJss. Flop is 965ss, and i call 40 by original raiser, and 2 ppl call behind. Pot is 260, turn is Kh and utg jams for over pot and we all have to fold. He shows K9.
Open with KJhh, get 2 callers and flop is Qxx no heart and have to fold.
Open with AQ vs 1 caller and board is Jxx and have to fold.
Open with 55, get 2 callers, flop a set, check flop, bet river and get no callers.
Open with AJcc, flop is J56cc, bet 30, k9 guy calls. Turn is Ad, i bet 60, he shoves, i call obv, he has 55, i brick the river.
Total elapsed time: 58 mins
I surrender! 🤮
