Taz's Trip Report 12/25 - 12/30
Date: 12/26/07
Player: Taz007
For Rooms: South Point,
Summary: Thought I would try and write a daily update rather than wait until the end and try and remember everything.
Content: I have enjoyed reading members trip reports that give a running account of there trip as each day passes, so I thought I would give it a try. First off Santa gave me a wireless broadband card for my lap top which I am able to use the internet anywhere that Verizon is available. This will also make it nice for me when I get home because I had dial up before, and it took forever to do anything on the internet. This new card is amazing with the speed that the intenet goes now.
Back to my poker trip, I arrived in Las Vegas last night at 8 pm. My wife and I decided to drive this time. For the first night we stayed at South Point. The hotel rooms are very nice with a lot of room and a very nice flat screen TV. After we checked in we went down and played some 2-4 limit. I bought in for $100 and was down to $60 before I won my first hand, I just was not getting cards. Finally I get pocket Queens and my wife and I had a raising war pre flop with three other people in the pot. The flop was 9-6-3 I bet and and there was a raise and I called along with two other players. The turn was another 9 so now I am worried about someone having a 9. I just call the bet along with one other person. There are now three people in the pot with one being wife. The turn is a beutiful Queen giving me a full house and I bet and the other two call me. I rake in this pretty good pot. I hadn't put my wife on a big hand because she likes to play drawing hands, as it turned out she had pocket aces. I did not fell to bad because the last couple of times we have played together she has rivered me when I had the best hand going into the river. No other big hands until the last had of the night and I get K-J suited. The flop is two spades matching the two spades in my hand. There is some betting and I call with my draw. The turn was a blank and, thre was a little more betting and I call hoping to hit my flush on the river. The river does bring the fifth spade and I have the second best hand possible. I bet and someone raises, I just call hoping he has a smaller flush, but he had the A-3 of spades taking down my flush. After this hand I decided to call it a night and went up to my room. I cashed out up $45.
This morning I will be moving over to TI to make that my home base for the rest of the trip. I will be playing the Head Hunters tournament and hopefully will be making a positive review of my outcome in this tournament in my next update.
Day 1: Up $45
Overall: Up $45
