Vegas - Day Four

Today, I played in a $130 buy-in tournament at Caesar's. I was eliminated in the first hour when I bluffed away all my chips.

It was a dumb move that early in the tournament, I know... There were over 150 people entered, and I will have to try again before leaving.

I sat at a 1/2 no limit table from 1:00 to 7:00 pm. I was up early, but I made one bad call that cost me $120. I then sat through a 2 hour stretch where I got absolutely no cards. About 15 minutes before I had to leave for dinner, I was dealt 89 offsuit. I limped in, but someone raised to $15. There was one caller, so I also called. Flop came out 10 J 3. The raiser bet $20, other player called and I called. Turn was magic: 7. Raiser bet $75, other guy called. I moved all-in for $55 more. Raiser went all-in, other guy folded. Raiser had AA. He was drawing dead.

So I ended that session up $248. I didn't play tonight, so I'm up $118 for the day, down only $3 for the trip after that awful first day.
