Vegas - Day Three

My girlfriend flew in on Wednesday, so I went shopping in the afternoon. I finally sat down for some poker at 5:00 pm.

I got very lucky early, building up my $200 to $700. I limped on the button with Q5 because there were 6 people in the pot and I felt priced in... Flop was Q55. Turn 7. I managed to stack a guy who held 57. I also raised KJ, and flopped three of a kind, and then turned quads against a kid holding a pocket pair.

I then lost $120 on a good read when I called an all-in with J9 on a J high board against a pre-flop raiser who had AK, only for him to catch an A on the turn. So I cashed out a $369 profit at about 11:00 pm.

I went to the Excalibur 1/3 no limit game, lost $200 and called it a night. I ended the day up only $169. So I'm stilll down $121 for the trip, but I would be up $1000 if I would just quit when I'm up $500 at a table.

Have I learned that lesson? Stay tuned...
