for poker we're back over at the pink bird where we jump into some 1-2 nl action.

i fall behind after losing with all of my first several raises including AA to a straddle. following a flop of QTT the villain raises me on the turn and in frustration here i make a mistake by showing the aces and folding. when the villain leaves about an orbit later i get the feeling that i had him beat. whether he simply overplayed a hand like AQ or KQ or totally bluffed me i sensed a feeling of anxiety that he "got away with something."

anyhow, my no-limit's clearly a little rusty but i launch a comeback when i finally win a hand with a set of sixes. when AA comes again i three bet JJ and of course call the villain's four bet shove. an ace comes right on the flop and not even i am unlucky enough to lose the hand from there. i grind out a $28 win despite the early pounding.

over at 24 limit though i drop $10 and take a break to head over to blu pool before heading down to the excalibur for some night action.

i start off in 1-2 no limit. the game looks promising but it breaks before i can win even a single hand.

i lose $18 and quickly get a seat in 26 spread limit.

last year i really enjoyed this game, going undefeated for the trip but a repeat performance won't be in the cards.

i jump out to a quick lead with KQ but AQ loses twice in a row and i fall behind. i spend the final two hours of the game tossing T5, 95, and 94 into the muck and wave the white flag at -94 for my first career spread limit loss at excalibur.

thank you for reading.

quest -30 (+553)

Is the Cromwell the old Barbary Coast NW corner of lv blvd and flamingo? It is also in Carsar's orbit?

I like these reports, I was really trying to win a seat to the Wynn tournament but failed. I'll live through your report.
