Comp - We’re playing the $40K guaranteed at Aria today. You’re in for 10.7%. Cards in the air at 11:00 am. Looks like they’ve been getting decent turnouts for these. They had 243 yesterday for a prize pool of $82,620 and $22,306 going to first; the day before they had 342 for a prize pool of $116,280 and $29,832 for first. Hopefully today will be even better. I’ll try to keep you up to date in this thread.

Thanks and very good luck, you are a solid player and barring bad beats you should do well..
Sorry Jeff, last year I should have taken you to my secret place......
it’s called reviv . I found the one at the MGM Grand back in 2014. About halfway thru your trip hit them up for a little boost.
The Ultra with a side order of B12 is fantastic. Turns you into superman for the next couple of days.
I think that would likely help if drinking and dehydration was the issue but my drink of choice at the tables was pineapple juice. I may be over vitamin C'd but my biggest problem was the lack of variation with games. Maybe I need somebody to teach me how to play big pit games and make my fortune.... lol.
First break. I’m at 27,900 and avg is 31,667. 228 runners so far with registration open for another 4 levels. Here’s a few hands I’ve played (haven’t played many cause the cards suck for the most part).
AhKs in SB, raise to 500, 1 limp and I call. AQx flop I check to raiser, he bets 500 limper calls and I raise to 1500. Both Vs fold.
AA in EP, I raise to 600 and BB calls. Q high rainbow flop I bet 800 and V folds
JJ utg raise to 500 and 4 callers. A45 flop all diamonds checked around. 2x turn first to act bets 500 I call and rest fold. River 3 puts bicycle on the board. We both check and V turns over TT split pot.
Sorry for the short hand - I just copied my notes.
Half way through level 8 and I finally get somewhere. KQos in the cutoff. 5 limp to see the flop. Flop comes KQ8 2 spades (I don’t have spades. First to act checks, next bets 1300, I raise to 3000, button shoves and I’m the only caller. Button shows K8 and my 2 pair holds. Up to 57000, avg stack is 42700.
2 hands later I get AA in the BB. UTG folds, next guy raises to 3000, 1 caller and I raise to 6000. Both V’s call. KQT flop 2 spades (I have As). Checked to me I bet 7000 and 1 caller. Turn brings 3rd spade. Check check river brings 9x. V checks I bet 7000 and V folds. Scoop another nice pot. Up to 75700 at 2nd break - avg is 43,788
Just stacked guy to my right. I have 22 in the CO-1. We end up with 5or 6 limpers. Flop comes QQ2. Checked around to V on my right who bets 3000 so I smooth call and everyone else folds. Turn is K. V bets I raise he shoves and I call. He shows QT. River is a J and I bust him. Up to 102,000.
End of level 11. I’ve been bleeding of chips a bit. Down to 76,500 and avg stack is 72,980. 99 runners left. Next level is 1000-2000-2000 so my M is around 15. Need to hit a few hands in the next level.
Early on in level 15 I get A4 in SB. 4 callers in front of me so I complete and BB checks. Flop AAx. Checked around to me so I check and BB checks. Turn a blank. I check and one V bets around 17000. One caller so I shove and both V’s fold.
Two hand later I get TT. Folded to my right. He calls and I raise to 10000. V to my left shoves for around 55000. Guy on my right thinks and folds and I call. V turns over A9 and my T’s hold up. Up to almost 200000. Avg is 157000 and 46 left.
