Started my day by going to Caesars to checkout the Heads Up tournament, but it was such a long wait for seats that Highwaytime and myself bailed. We headed off to Planet Hollywood to get in the action.
This was my last live session this trip and my goal was to book a win however minor without getting in to the hole to start. I start out in a 1/2 game with Boston Eric. The game was your average 1/2 game and I was pretty card dead to start. The first hand that looked decent was KQ of hearts. I called a $10 raise from the cutoff and we saw a 4 way flop. Flop comes down J 9 3 with 2 hearts. This is a pretty solid flop for me. A player that I don't have a read on leads out for $15. The action folds to me and I re-bet it to $40, he flat calls. The turn and river are both checked to me and I miss on both streets, but continue to fire bullets at the pot. I bet out $75 on the river after my $50 turn bet and he thinks and calls. I muck my cards and tell him I missed. He shows down A9os. I was like wtf this guy calls me down with middle pair. So, yet again I'm in the hole from trying to bluff a calling station. It's not a very interesting hand, just frustrating to me.
The table decides to change to a 2/5 game which is fine with me, but I just can't seem to get anything going and end up down $300 in about an hour. Time to change to a 1/2 game again.
I change back and hit the nut flush against a Q high and get doubled up. I picked up some other minor pots along the way and book a very minimal profit for the session.
Tomorrow is the Final day of the Monte Carlo Tournament, so hopefully I can take it down for the 1st place $50k prize.
I like my chances in the field as we all start with 2000 chips and I really feel like I'm leaps and bounds beyond the talent I've seen so far. Now, I just have to dodge some bullets.
Hours: 4
Profit: $85
