So last weekend my friend Matt turned 25. We went to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate. I was suppose to drive but we were running late so Elizabeth and I just hopped the next flight out of SNA. They went to get ready, I went to shop. Since moving into my new place I don't have any clean clothes because at the time we didn't have a washer/dryer. I went to Fashion Show to find some clothes, I wanted a baller suit but there wasn't enough time to get it tailored, so I settled for a shirt and jeans. I also needed a haircut but there was little time so the chick at Nordstrom just recommended getting a hat which I did and was an easy fix.

That night I met them at Nobu, If you haven't been you have to go, its a Japanese explosion of flavor with every dish. The stand out dishes of the night were the king crab tempura and the kobe beef sashimi. The kobe was similar to Carpaccio, however it was seared, so briefly so that the meat hadn't changed colors despite being razor thin. It was the beef equivalent of toro imo.

That night we were planned to go to XS, but it was August in Vegas and they tried to give us an outside table. Their scam is pretty brilliant, tell you that you're promised an inside table, seat you outside, then tell you that if you want to get inside you need to start a bidding war with the people who have tables in there. Anyone who knows me personally knows I want to start the bidding war, but Matt and I were the only poker players in the group, and most people are live nits so, we bounced and headed to Pure.
Pure was cool, we got completed wasted and remember very little of anything.

The next day we went to Fix and the Bank at the Bellagio. It was chaos, so many people there on a Saturday night. Got super drunk and don't remember anything from that night either.



Matt, Me

Black out drunk waffing a 20 at 5 in the morning Saturday. I had no idea this picture took place until a few days ago. lol

Poker,
There have been some juicy 1/2 games running, in fact nosebleeds in general are starting to heat up so I've been taking some shots w/ all my own action. Was going badly until yesterday.

I thought about checking back here, but I thought for sure he would push preflop with any pocket pair, and I didn't suspect he would have many SC's in his range (touche), and he was tilt and making some advanced plays so I felt there was a good chance I get it in way ahead here. also gamboooooool. My only real beef with the had is

A. Preflop 4b should have been larger as I expected him to flat
B. I didn't suckout


I'm down about a BI at 1/2 and up 2 at 5/1 so I'm even this month in nosebleeds. I plan on playing more with all of myself/most if they games keep going and I can get a seat.

I'm otherwise doing well this month, save a few 1020 sessions I am very unhappy about. For the first time ever finally winning at 25/50, took me long enough god damn.

We have an insane dynamic, I was a little sick about this river

So ya, sry I'm really hesitant to post too many 25/50 hands, players there are too strong and I'm not sure who will stumble across this blog and who won't.

Here's a kind of funny hand where I slowplay AA preflop deep for the first time in my life

you're welcome.
