Vegas trip report - In search of a (WSOP) ring [19/03/25 - 31/03/25) (4 Viewers)

Sorry backers and rail birds..

It looked like the forum crashed and I couldn’t open or refresh it during the break.
In the meanwhile, I was focused and able to adjust to the different play and settle in.

Bigger bets, wider ranges and harder to put villains on ranges.
They battle for each pot, almost never a walk for the BB or limping of middle positions.

And many willing to shoot a second or third bullet to build a big stack with agro play and paying big for draws.

The early double up helped for sure but lost that advantage after a few orbits since others were catching up and I paid for some drawing hands but was served with a bad flop and had to abort to keep my stack healthy and don’t gamble on a 1K single bullet without playing scared.

A few times I thought on the words that one or more backers posted…play your game like u are used to, so I was playing relaxed.
Had a few table changes, some for the better and some worse (stack sizes, position on bigger stacks, …).

After dinner break (12 levels) blinds started to hurt and betting sizes went in overdrive.
Since I was wel rested (first time ever after day 8 in Vegas), I was ready for the final levels but stack was short (below 30bb).

In the end, we played until 2:30 AM @before nr 22 busted…we did good team

We made the money again and @bagged for day 3…so my backers have their initial investment back and we are all freerolling now.
Even better, we have a very workable stack of 501K (and just paid 30k in blind before the bubble bursted).

I was one of the biggest stacks on my table when we bagged but will have more info on stack sizes today.
Today no poker…we’ll play day 2 on Saturday.

Have a great Friday @all

I didn’t know where you were going with this post until the end, so glad it was for the best! Let’s keep it rolling

Thanks so much…

This morning I made the breakfast for my Vegas family.

Crepes Belgian style (the healthy non chocolate version)

For today, same as day 1…focus maximus so will not be updating often (between breaks as much as possible)

A shower, some relaxing and then I’ll start sharpening my fangs and drive down to the strip.

Have a great day @all

Also, try for this one:

Also, @Thomacetti, everything you do at the poker table conveys information.

I think PCF has done more than enough to educate you, now just do what @WedgeRock suggested.

 

[Thomacetti]

Big hit with cooler… back to 450k

Resist the tilt, keep your head and play your relaxed game.

 

[maxim_666666]

Dude, just forget about this forum and give it your best shot!
We just want to see the ring....

Sorry my friends… no suckout story this time…

Two coolers killed the stack

AQs in BB, agro SB with smaller stack bets 12BB and I raise to 25bb. He calls. Flop Q410, he checks I jam and he calls….shows KJ and… K on the river

Down to 500k ish. 2 orbits later (BB is 16k, so 40k each orbit) I get 1010 and jam pre…big stack calls and has AJo…the flop are bricks (all low card) and he hits the J on the turn.

Sorry I couldn’t do better….would still play it all the same and thanks again for railing and posting.

Happy about the results, very happy…no big scores money wise but for sure profitable.
If I keep on bagging in multi day tourneys, a big score will come.

Still much to learn…but we are getting there.
Now time to relax..

It was a great run! I enjoyed railing you. Maybe next time I'll be retired and will be able to take a few days to be your live rail.
