October sky

I am at Planet Hollywood June 1st-2nd and the Rio 3rd-7th. Even with a free room at rio I’m paying 50 a night in fees.

Damn your comps must be a lot better then mine. I’m paying 350 and I’m only staying 6 nights. I am firing the big 50, 600 wsop deepstacks and 1100 Venetian.

I don’t play blackjack but I would be surprised if you find any 5 dollar tables on a Saturday night. If u did it would be at diamond jacks or sams town I would think.

I have seen some bad calls in my day, but that might be the worst! How on earth could they say he swung at that.

I plan on firing every bullet I can come up with in the big50 and the 600 deepstacks. If I have any money left over I’ll play some PH or Venetian tournaments. I would love to play a Omaha or HORSE tournament just for the experience, but I would be a huge dog in those.

I do for sure now. Two way chopped the horseshoe nightly for just under 3k. No clue how many runners, probably 50ish. Players in Shreveport are so bad it is amazing. If I lived here I would gamble everyday of my life.

I played the Saturday tournament at the Horseshoe today. Pretty good turnout, 7800ish up top. I cruised to the final table then loss KK to AA. Out in 6th.

Also a 600 deepstack wsop event on Monday and I’m sure some other decent tournaments on the strip.

Have you ever stayed at the rio? Are the rooms as bad as what I’ve read? I’ve lost enough money at the horseshoe to get a free room for my entire trip, but I’m still tempted to stay somewhere else.

I just use TurboTax. It looks like I am gonna get that money back minus an additional 40 dollar filing fee. That will fund my first two buyins for the big 50 at the wsop! Anyone made plans to go yet? I’m looking at June 1st-7th

Has anyone ever had state taxes taking out on a w-2g? I had almost a grand taking out from Lousiana. If I file a Lousiana state tax return I can get that money back(or a large portion of it) since I don’t live there correct?

The funny part is that two people at my table said how much better the lighting was from the previous year. I cannot comprehend how it could have been worse. With that being said I felt like a fish at the Venetian tournaments, and like a pro at PH. There was definitely less GTO being used at PH.

Venetian and Planet Hollywood will have plenty of 2 day tournaments. PH has the worst lighting I’ve ever experienced in my life for poker though.

Poker giveth and poker taketh away. Out in 22nd. Lost AQ to 1010 QQ to KK amd for the grand finale sb shoves 350k with J3. I call in bb with AQ and the board runs out A5542. GG

First break and I have 990k. Seems like that went pretty good.

The tournament today is BB Ante. I am sure I will jump into it if things don’t go well today.

I played the monster stack wsop circuit event yesterday at Choctaw. I went all in three times on the money bubble and somehow got folds all three times. Coming back today 50/57. 42k up top.

Is anyone playing any online these days? Is it still just Bovada, carbon and ACR?

The buyin was 180 and I won 10,950. They took out 600 in Lousiana state taxes and I tipped 350, to walk home with and even 10k

Poker is such a strange game. Results of my last two tournaments: 1. Deepstacks Run Good Series Shreveport: Day One- I win all of the following hands AA vs 108hh aipf(108 guy rebought 18 times btw) KK vs AQ vs QQ vs 1010 vs 45hh aipf(fade 18 outs on the river) 1010 vs 88 on 1082 flop JJ vs AA on J52 flop 34hh vs AA on AhKh5h flop Day two- I have double the chips of almost everyone else(70ish left) but proceed to lose every hand that I don't take down preflop. We get down to 18 and redraw seats First hand I get KK and get it all in vs the chip leader who flips over AA. I get up to leave only to see a K on the flop to get me back to a top 5 stack. Lose every hand until we get down to 3 players and I have 250k and they both have 2.1millionish. I win 11 of the last 12 pots and win the tournament. Easy game 2. WSOP Choctaw Ring Event I drop 3 buy ins in flight one and 3 in flight two. I think I got above starting stack maybe twice out of those 6 buy ins. Drive home and 2am never wanting to play poker again
