So I ended up going to Vegas for about 15 days and had a pretty wild time. I didn't play any tournaments for a very good reason that I would not like to discuss so I ended up grinding the hell out of high stakes cash games. The games were phenomenal and I played pretty well the whole time spewing sporadically when the games were tight and I got bored. I ended up losing a ton in staking and prop betting. I mean I won $10k for jogging up this puny hill and still got destroyed in betting props and skill games. DO NOT bet with Aaron at ping pong. Lesson learned. I think the most hilarious thing from my trip was losing ~$15k on whether or not the gatekeeper was a girl or a guy. Good thing Starkey bitched out because I was betting the lot that 'it' was a dude.

Happy(code name) was in a $100/100 HA ante game and immediately started putting lots of money into the pot and I was on his immediate right. Fun times ensued. Button limps I make it $1100 with T8o and $11k stacks Happy calls button folds. Q84dd I c/c $2000. Qc ck/ck. River Kd and I think for a minute and decide to check. He thinks for 3 seconds and goes allin for $7500. I think for .3 seconds and double hand my chips into the pot. "You win kid." I normally NEVER snap call for obvious reasons. If I'm never folding there I want people to bluff me. That might not of been the case, because I might fold river, but I wanted to do something that would just tilt him hard enough to do stupid shit later. 3 hours later he pots SB to $800 and I repot BB to $3kish(I moved seats heh) w/ AJTc7c. He calls. Flop is A64r he c/c $5300. There was a lot of merit to betting for protection and that coupled with the fact that I'm not going to get CR'd with a hand that is slightly better than mine made me want to bet. Turn was a Js bringing a second spade and we had $53k left to bet in an $18k pot. I thought shortly and potted it kind of nervous because I like cash but not necessarily money. Heh, he calls. River 8 he thinks and checks, I think for about 2 minutes and I'm likem this is why you snapcall or act like a rediculous internet kid, so they call you with worse here. Do it. He thinks for minutes and calls with a worse hand. Then, a week later Manny(code name) was sleeper straddling and potting every hand when it got to him at $1/200 PLO at the Rio which made for an exciting time. I had a ton of money on the table and won a monster pot when I raised flopped the nut flush and bet/bet/bet for a big pot. There's some things I don't want to talk about until a couple weeks from now, but Vegas was a wild time and I have some exciting stories to share.

I want to have a discussion about this hand I played the other day. The 3 flop options are pretty close and the risk/psychological aspects of each option are present due to the money involved and how Ivey might perceive what my stacks means to me. I had already seen him bet/fold a coordinated board vs Urindanger and word on the street is that Ivey doesn't remember any screennames so I'm a total random. Sidenote is that he just sat in with doublestacks on both tables and for the record i was getitng up on my BB. Please discuss in comment box.
