Then I got outplayed on several hands against a guy who was probably a better player and also incredibly lucky with flush over flush, TPTK vs 2pr, TPTK vs set. It was frustrating and I left after I was down 300.
Jimmy aka 'Hit & Run & Go Shoot Guns' put on a real clinic for us. He was up about 500 at Bellagio 1/2. On the way out, he gave a beggar on the bridge a couple bucks for kharma.
A little later, we go downstairs to play the 1/3 game at TI, while we are waiting for our ride to go to the gun range. I get KK about 5-10 hands in on the button and re-raise a woman from MP who I thought knew what she was doing. She called, then lead out on a Q-high board. I thought she might have AQ, QJ, AA or QQ but I figured I would just push for an extra 150 and let the chips fall where they may. She called with AJ, hit her jack and still lost the hand. I'm still trying to figure that one out. She thought her A was good? She thought she had 2 overs? The ride was coming soon so I cashed out for 200+ profit. I was bugging Jimmy to get up from the table but he was down a bit and he said he'd play one last hand and raised blind to 18 while I'm at the cashier. As I'm walking back to the table, he comes running over to say he got re-raised and then shoved on the guy, who called. Of course the guy turns over QQ and Jimmy turns over AA and wins for a nice 200+ profit. He promptly grabbed his chips and cashed out. The guys were a bit pissed with us leaving with their money but I say fuck em.
Shooting machine guns and magnums was a hoot!
We had a look at Caesars but it was pretty dead so Jimmy wanted to walk over to Bellagio. First he had to stop at the Brahma temple and light an incense stick for good kharma. That was kinda cool. We go to Bellagio and he gets seated at the 2/5 instantly by the 'window' and I'm on the 1/2 list. I decide to walk over to the other other side of the window to wait until I'm called so I can watch his game. By the time I get over there, he already has 500 in the middle, all cash because the chip runner hasn't come over yet to get chips for him. Apparently it was being folded around to him and the Asian guy next to him asked him about chopping and Jimmy told him he never chopped. So the guy raised him 30 from SB and Jimmy insta-shoves for 500 and the guy instantly calls with QQ. Of course Jimmy turns over KK and wins! He promptly says 'seat open' and grabs a chip tray to cash out. Apparently he didn't like that I had to wait for a table and he wanted to go get some dinner anyway.
Jimmy bought dinner at PF Changs. Very good food. The girls were dancing by the table games so we got in a good gawk before we left.
The old GTA would be proud :) Not sure about the new improved GTA?
