Trip Report Sahara 7pm tourney Date: 02/24/07 Player: badbeat For Rooms: Caesars Palace,Sahara, Summary: Got the Vegas itch, so headed over there for 1 night stay over. Content: Left LA and got to Vegas by 10am. Played at Caesar's after lunch. It's been my favorite room, esp smoke-free. Sat down with $100 at $1-2 NL. QQ, AQ brought my stack to $160. Players all bought in for $100 and played very loose. I looked down with KJ, rasied to $15. Flop 22J, bet and got called. Turn A, River K. I had 2 pairs and bet, got called, The other guy turned over his A-raq and won with a better 2 pairs (AA and 22). Crap! Now, look down at KK, raised to $15 again, but this time no caller. Crap, crap! Later, got AA, raised to $10 only hoping to get some callers unlike my KK. This time 4 callers! Flop 2 spades. I bet $25 into a $50 pot, trying to flush out any flush chaser. Only 1 caller now. Turn another spades, check check. River another spades. He checked the $100 pot, I rechecked my AA, still no spades with it. I only have about $60 left, so checked and gave up the pot to him. He turned over his 5-6 spades and dragged in the $100. Hate poker, bullets get cracked. Left after playing 1.5 hrs losing $50. Headed over to Sahara to play 7pm tourney. I haven't played it for a long time. The last time I played more than a year ago, they only had $1500 chips. Since then, I have been playing Caesar's 12pm tourney, much better poker tourney. Anyway, $62 get you 5000 chips, not bad. The only problem is still the short blind (20 mins). After 2 breaks (2 hrs), the blind is at 300-600 and quickly become an all-in fest. Most ppl had between 3000-8000. Players there were quite bad, lots of them amatuer and beginners. At 25-50 level, a guy raised to $250, that's 5X big blind! I looked down with AQ and decided to call and outplayed him. 2 other callers into a 4 way pot. Flop 3-8-K, check check, I knew the original raiser didn't hit anything ( I put him on med pair), so, I bet 500 into 1000 pot. 1 caller, original raiser foled now. Turn rag, check check. River rag, check, and I didn't want to lose any more money and checked behind him. He turned over 7-8. He called my 500 with 2nd pair! That idiot shortly busted out. Later at 50-100 level, a guy rasied to 300 with 4 callers, I looked down at QQ at big blind and decided to end it right there and then. Raised to 1500, 1 guy put me all-in, the SB thought for a minute and folded. I called, he flipped over 77. My hand stood. The flop had an A, and SB told me that we almost called with A-9, but didn't think he would stand a fight against 2 players. Anyway, that's how players are at Sahara, they overplayed A-rag. Too bad I just couldn't catch any cards. Those are my best hands in 2 hrs! Finally at 300-600, I went all in at late position trying to steal with A-2 (like the other fish LOL!). Only be called with SB/BB. SB flipped over 88, BB with AQ, yikes! Q-6-T-A-2 came on the board, I lost my 2 pairs to AQ. There were 15 tables on Friday night, and very very smoky! I would definitely not play there anymore. I original was looking for the $200 V tourney ppl are touting for. Unfortunately, they only have $500 deep stack tourney right now. I stayed at Flamingo Hilton, and they remodelled their poker room. Now with more tables, and a flat screen with computer registration system. Looks pretty slick. Till next time! Happy gambling and thanks for reading. |
