Flying down with my better half June 6. Might play the Aria $400 NLHE on the 8th. Starting the Seniors events with the Wynn on the 9th, although I'm disappointed with the structure and the buy-in this year. The structure has a patience factor of only 20.32 (a bit lower than last year's 20.94) while the buy-in has doubled to $1100. Probably play Day 1B of the Venetian Senior on the 11th. If I don't make day 2 at the V I'll play the Aria Senior on the 12th. Playing the WSOP Senior on the 13th. The next few days will depend on my success at the WSOP, but I'll be playing somewhere on the 14th and 15th before I head home on the 16th.
only $ 14.75 for a small salad with chicken turkey or ham. Or 20 bucks Canadian
only $ 11.00 for a smoothie. Or 15 bucks Canadian
only $ 14.75 for a burrito plus $1.75 for guacamole or 23 bucks Canadian.
comp..... better bring some extra money. You need to stay energized if you are gonna win us all some money.

Brian, I hope you have a safe flight and a fun and successful trip. Keep us updated if you can.
Sorry guys, couldn’t find comp. I think he’s been floating a lot of fake news since he got here. Rumor has it he’s heading back today. I’ll try to provide updates while i’m here. Hoping to start playing tomorrow with a warmup at Aria.

Good luck and yeah for sure lots of updates for some of us that could not make it!
AhKh in late position. Been bleeding chips all tournament and down to 12,000. Early raise to 800 with 1 caller so I smooth call. T high flop 1 heart. Check around. 9h on the turn and checked around again. Third heart comes on the river. I check, V bets 2100, next to act folds, I shove. V thinks for awhile. He calls and turns over Qh7h and I’m back in the game with ~25,000 (avg = ~22,100).
End of level 8 (500-1000-1000)
Down to 17000, blinds going to 600-1200-1200 giving me an M just above 5
289 runners, 153 left, 31 paid. 1st = 68,940, 31st = 2,446
I figured this tournament structure would be more of a turbo than anything else and I was right. The M for an average stack is just above 12 now which doesn’t leave much room to play poker.
Busted out early in level 9. 6h7h in BB and 17000 chips. Min raise and call in front of me so I call. 963 flop, all black. I shove and both call. First guy turns over 99 and second shows 66. My runner runner straight doesn’t come and I’m done. Finished around 138.
Taking tomorrow off and playing V Senior Tuesday. Tomorrow is better half’s last day here.
Sorry for the upside down picture. Just stand on your head to view it. ��

Nice try Brian, gotta make a move there if you hit anything.
Played 2 levels of pretty boring poker. Stack at 25,600 (started with 25,000). There is one guy (maybe semi-pro) who is really aggressive. He raises over half the hands and bets aggressively for the most part. He has been called down several times when he has bet the river and then folded blind (at least 4 or 5 times). I played one hand against him with Ac7c in position. He raised pre-flop, 2 clubs on flop and he bet and I called. Brick on turn and river and we both checked. He mucked his cards saying he missed his draw. I think I might have picked up a big pot if my third club had come.
Sorry guys, but this has been absolutely miserable poker so far (first break - heading to level 4). The best hand I’ve seen is AQos and that was folded to a bet on a K high flop with 2 or 3 other guys to act behind me. My next best hand was KQos which I folded preflop to a raise and a reraise. That’s it other than the odd Ax. I haven’t seen any pocket pairs yet. Despite all the crap my stack is still at 24,900 so hopefully the cards will start coming.

You got this, you can be very patient and wait till the cards turn in your favour then pounce on all of them .
