So I arrive the day before Chinese New Year, so get ur orders in for 8 dolla chips. I assume they get released on the 10th. I will not be going to the Wynn sadly because Im lazy and it's fucking far away.
I always use priceline to book my rental cars but prices have been consistently high. I discovered costcotravel.com. I got a fullsize car from Budget for $203 for the week, which beat priceline by $55 and Budget's price by $89. Might be useful if you have a costco membership.

Wow I just checked back at costcotravel and the price dropped. Now booked in an economy car but for just $161. Priceline is at $241.
I think I plan on squeezing in the Bellagio buffet on Sun Feb. 17, probably play some cash at Bellagio/Mirage and then head to TI for the 7pm mixed games.
First night there..went to collect CNY chips and decided to see what games Wynn was spreading. Saw Huck Seed playing 1-3 NL and sat down. Took about $200 off him with AA in a 678 A board when I shoved on the turn and he folded. 2 orbits later, I was 6 bet shoved on by aggro female with AK on my left and essentially doubled my $750 stack with AA. #rungood
Stack with Huck Seed in the background unintentionally.
Seeing how this trip was with some family, didn't play nearly as much poker as I liked. I'll skip the parts about Grand Canyon/Valley of Fire side-trips in this report and focus on the poker/gambling I did play.
Night 1
Got in at about midnight, by the time rental car was picked up and checked in at Flamingo, it was close to 1am. Had 2 remodelled rooms at Flamingo, attempted the $20 trick, and was denied for the first night as they were fully booked. Was promised to receive an upgrade to 2 strip view 2 Queens bed room the next day. Skeptical but at 4am east coast time, the others just wanted to get to the room and pass out. I headed over to Venetian/Palazzo/Wynn and picked up CNY chips at each property respectively. Must've been awhile but the walk from Flamingo up to Venetian felt alot longer than it did previously.
After picking up all the CNY chips, decided to see the action at the Wynn Poker Room - had a couple of open seats at the 1-3NL tables and saw a table with tons of chips, so decided to sit down and took seat 1 . Turns out Huck was at the table with about $800, a couple of slightly intoxicated guys with $600/700, and a couple of others with a full BI. Talkative table, with 2-3 players seemingly trying to find out alot about Huck and what he's doing at 1-3NL.
Pretty aggressive table and stayed out of the way for about the first 2-3 orbits pretty much a direct result of not having any playable hands.
Hand 1
First hand played was folded to me on the button with AQ, folded on the turn to the SB when I got check-raised double-barrelling. Lost a couple of hands after and dropped to about $375/$400 before the next hand. Huck raised to $11 UTG+1, 2 callers to me with AQ, 3-bet to $46, called by first initial caller after the raise. Flop KJ3 rainbow, check, bet $53, call. Turn 9, check, check. River T, bet $100, I shove, he curses a few times, talks to himself some more, folds.
Hand 2
A couple orbits go by, and I raise AA in MP to $11 and gets 4 callers. Flop 678 2 diamonds 1 heart, Huck leads $50, I call, rest folds. Turn A hearts, Huck leads $150, I shove (covers him), he folds.
Hand 3
Another few orbits go by, and gets into the massive hand that broke the table. I raised UTG+1 with AA to $11, 3-bet by UTG+2 to $45, Huck 4-bets to $95, I 5-bet to $190, UTG+2 ships with around $600. I snap when Huck folds and beats AK. Seat 2 and 3 also left at that time (2/3/4 were friends) and 2 of the players on the other side didn't want to play 4 handed meaning the table broke. Cashed out for about $1650 for a profitable first night.
Headed over to the Venetian next and will continue with the TR later.
Comments
Agreed... Probably the worst time is last week of July to end-August... there is a post-WSOP hangover, the rooms are quieter and it is just too hot...
