Vegas - Day Six

Saturday, I started out at 9:30 in the morning, going to the MGM 1/2 no limit game. I made $157 in about 90 minutes, so I quit since it was enough to cover my buy-in at Caesar's noon tournament.

I played very solid all day. I only lost once when I was a big favorite (my JJ was beaten by KJ before I used the rebuy) so I didn't get too many bad beats. I made some good calls and good laydowns, and I didn't get involved unless I had to. This is the way I need to play tournaments if I want to be in the money consistently.

There were 163 players, and they paid up to 20th. I finished 11th, for a small payout of $253. I had to go all-in with AJ, and I was called by AQ. First place money was over $5300. So close, but yet so far...

By the time I was done, it was 6:30. I hadn't eaten since breakfast (this happens a lot here), so I went to dinner and spent some time with my girlfriend since it's our last day here - so no more poker.

So I finish the day up $280, and the trip up $687. I was down $202 in tournaments and up $889 in cash games.

I fly back tomorrow, but I will be coming back soon.
