Trip Report
Weekend of Full poker Thursday to Sunday
Date: 08/25/08
Player: TK_Poker7
For Rooms: Excalibur (Live),Hooters,MGM Grand,South Point,
Summary: Flew up to for 30+ hours of NL holdem Solo trip
Content: I flew into Las Vegas Thursday Afternoon and checked into MGM with little trouble. My goals were to play a few new rooms and and hit the 3 rooms that I had played the previous 2 trips. MGM, Venetian, and Excalibur.
I got into a 1/2 game pretty easily at MGM grand. I took my 200 up to 450 with a few small pots, but mainly after catching a flush on the river to beat another ladies flopped 2 pair. Played about 4 hours total and lost my gains when karma caught back up to me from my earlier suckout. MGM -30
Went to the excalibur to play some check blackjack and check out the poker room. Noticed new electroic table deal. Not sure what to think about this so just played blackjack. (just now reading many posts about Excal's Tech machines, now makes more sense about the room).
Friday went to South Point with a local buddy and played some 1/2NL. What a waste of a trip. Grumpy room with no action. They could hardly keep 2 games going on a friday night. Did win 100.
Back to the strip and more MGM grand. No big hands. Lost a little. Decided to go back to Excal and try the electron games and just get hammered. At first I didn't like the machines but after getting use to them. I must say they worked well and I would definately play them again.
Actually might go strickly emachine. I got many more hands the action was what I liked and the cards just kept coming. I could check player stats and didn't have to deal with annoying dealers talk about fantacy poker room trips or how they collect poker chips are complain about not getting tipped enough. The 3 rake and the huge saving on dealer tips was enough to make my session very profitable. 5 hours +700. Will definately be back.
