Trip Report The biggest loss in my life Date: 03/09/07 Player: onajojo For Rooms: Bellagio,MGM Grand,Orleans,Venetian,Wynn, Summary: Tried moving up, and lasted an entire 20 minutes!! This is pretty long, since it's 5 days of play at 5 different rooms. Content: I last spoke of moving up and taking my shot at 8/16. So, I got to the Wynn last Sunday at about 7 o'clock. I had to wait nearly 90 minutes, since they only had one 8/16 game. At one point, they had 7 names on the list, so I think they could have opened another game. During my wait, I watched the game to figure out as much as I could. I thought the players were not as weak as I have been used to at 4/8, but I still thought there was money to be made. There were two players playing any ace, players calling with terrible odds, and players calling hands down with second pair or worse. So I finally get in the game, and buy in for $240. About 5 hands into the game, I get 66 in MP. Long story short, I flop a set, and lose to a guy who flopped middle pair and went runner-runner straight. Lost 5 big bets on that hand. A couple hands later, I switch to the 3 seat from the 6 seat. I like seats 1-3 the most because you can see other players easier. This also put me to the right of the guy who sucked out on me. It was a good seat because he had been fairly active pre-flop. I was SB, and it shocked me to see the table fold around to the button. That was the first time I saw that in all of my observation of the game. The button didn't surprise me and raised. I look down to see A-10s, so I three bet to knock the BB out. She folds, button 4 bets, I call. Flop comes A82, I bet, he raises, I call. I go into check-call mode, and he shows me AK. I was on the button with $32 left. I decide to play to the BB, and just leave the game. So, I decide to try 1/2NL at the venetian. Buy-in for $150, and about an hour into it, I flop top pair, go all in, get called by a flush draw that comes home. Then I had to reload. There was a maniac who was two seats to my left that was raising with napkins. So my plan was to pick up a medium pair or better, or AJ or better, and limp in. Then, I would re-raise all-in. I picked up AJs UTG, and limp in. Just like I planned, maniac raised to $15. There were callers, which was frequent when this guy raised. If somebody had a hand, they would re-raise. I thought my hand was good, so I push all in for $115, just trying to pick up the $60 in dead money. Then, the maniac goes all in, and tables AA. Flop was J high, so if I called pre-flop, I still probably would have gotten all-in. So I pulled out my last $85 and donked that off by going all in PF with 66, and maniac had 1010. I went home then, composed myself, and since I wasn't tired, decided to play some 4/8. I know people aren't huge fans of the bellagio (myself included) I decided to go there. I saw a post here that said the reason the poster didn't like bellagio is because there were so many people who wouldn't fold. That sounded like my kind of game. So I sit down way back in the corner of the room. I actually liked it back there because I could put my drink on the ledge along the wall. The table was amazing. There were two locals who would call all the way to the river if they had at least 2 outs. Sure, they would catch sometimes, but I was able to suck $160 off the game in 4 hours. As the week continued, I went to MGM after work on Monday. Had a very fun table, with everyone joking around. I had a lot of respect on the table, and tried getting loose-aggressive pre-flop. I've been trying this lately, and it has been a lot of fun. The swings are tough, but it's fun to have a table reacting to how you play and always on their heels. Had players on the game that, if they had an Ace, they would go to the river. Had one younger, solid player on my left that I could get out of the pot easily, but if they came along to the flop and fired, I would be gone. I did very well adjusting to each player on the table and playing to their weaknesses. I finished up $85 for 3 hours of play. Last night, I was at the orleans with some co-workers and decided to play there. There were crusty old locals there that were no good. I entered maniac mode pre-flop, and pissed off most of the table. 4 players decided to leave because of my aggression. That was fun. I again improved on playing on each individual's mistakes. I feel like I got the maximum value out of all of my winning hands. I played for 4 hours there, and finished up $135. I have had a super sick run of sessions at 4/8. Since I started my poker plan, I have won $892 over 19 hours since 2/28. The only losing session I've had at 4/8 was at the bellagio for $8 over 30 minutes of play. Fortunately, this crazy run has made losing $593 on sunday night a little easier to swallow. |
