so more poker in vegas, met up with neil for my first tourney of the week. We ended up deciding to play at the venitian. It has a great card room, so $150 buy in 7000 chips, 20 min blinds seems like a decent structure.
So game on, first hand goes raise, reraise, call, call. Looks like one of they tables, i look down Ace King spades. So decide to repop and everybody call. I hit nothing betting goes bet and then reraise, so goes fold fold and I fold, turns out set
win. Looks like its going to be a busy table.
Looking round table after a few orbit, seat 1 calling station an any 2 cards player. (p.s ment to be some sort of famous baseball player) Im from Scotland we play rounders lol.
Seat 2 seemed pretty solid player. Seat 3 young guy talks a super star game, Seat 4 quite guy has a lot of chips early on looks good. Seat 5 crazy asian guy, loves the raise.(All asian guy play crazy). Last few player seem supper tight playing no hands.
So I go through a few orbits without many decent card a lot of raises reraise calls happening in front of me so needed to pick up a hand to play. Crazy guy on right playing lots of pots but often showing nuts, loves the reraise in position.
First hand in a while Ace King again to I put a raise in from mid to late position rock on left, puts in the old min raise, so i flat call oop hoping to hit. i miss again I check call the guys 1/3 pot bet on flop thinking of later streets and I wanted to play I guess but i guess not good oop, so turn missed I check they bet, I fold and they flip queens..
Few hands later crazy guy has knock put 2 players in 5 hands with stone cold nutts, must be so FN. So it is folded around to him in the small blind, and he raises, I look down at ace king and reraise, he flat calls. Flop come Ace king 10 finally I hit now can I get paid. So he leads out I call, Turn is a blank. He checks I bet and he calls, turn is a blank he checked I decided to over bet the pot as he as been making a lot of big calls with middle pair. No such luck he fold and gives me a long stare.
2 hands later, on button I look at 66, folded to me I make standard raise the small blind min raises me again. I dont know what it is but they love the min raise over there! I decide to call see a flop. flop comes like 10 high, I think I migt be good. He lead out and I raise and then he shoves and I fold he showes JJ. Im like to do alway pick up a hand when I raise. Need to keep eyes peeled for min raise.
So very next hand couple of usual limper i look at ace queen. Decide to raise, guy on left reraises again, " Im like can u see my cards or somthing" every body folds I decided to see a flop and call. The flop comes King High, I check he bets, I tank and decided to go for check raise, rep a hand like ace king, oooops he shoves, I fold he flips set of kings. This guy has me in his pocket.
Next hand to note was the last hand before the break, I am on big blind, it goes raises reraise and call I look down at ACE ACE in big blind im getting short had under 5000 chips , so I shove hoping to get some callers for guy shoving allin before break, but get 1 caller and double through up to around 11000 right on chip average nice timing....
Break time.....
