Vegas - Luxor cash game fun
I put in a 6 hour shift at the Luxor yesterday, with Shaun and Neil, and we all came away with big wins (I finished on a $1100 stack from a $200 buy in).
The best way to approach this game seems to be play very loose, make some crazy re-raises from time to time (and show), and then bet the nuts hard when the tight opponents won’t let go of top pair.
Most other players were sitting down with $100/$200 and then leaving when they went bust, so were playing very cautiously hoping to make their money last. Over the period, the only winners were the three of us, plus a crazy Scandie called Pharnam. Every one else (I think) lost their stacks and then left. We also tipped about $400 between us as well over the course of the day.
Hands of note:
A) 3 limpers, I make it $15 with AK. Pharnam makes it $45 and I put Pharnam all in for $175. Pharnam calls with 43o and hits a 3 on the turn. High fives all round :)
B) Serious American guy calls a raise and I come along with on button.
Flop has 2 clubs and inadvertently someone exposes the King of clubs when folding.
Turn is a club giving me flush. River is Ace of clubs so I now know I have the nuts. I bet $30, serious guys makes it $90 so I put him all in for his last $200. He thinks for a while before exposing 7c and I say “oh okay - good fold” and pretend to muck, and he goes “wait, wait, I’m not mucking” before cunningly flipping the 10c to make his call and looking crestfallen when I show him the nuts.
C) Folded round to the blinds.
Pharnam to american guy “Want to chop”
American guy “No - I’m playing this one”
Pharnam “No worries dude - I’m all in blind”
American folds :)
Shazbo arrived in town last night, and I waited for her to arrive outside Planet Hollywood. It was Saturday night in Vegas, and some of the totty on display was incredible with the shortest, tightest dresses I have seen.
Unfortunately I’ve been suffering from flatulence after drinking 15 bottles of Corona a day, and whilst waiting outside felt the need to release a quiet one. Unfortunately it came out sounding like the full time horn in a rugby league match.
I heard a comment from a bunch of nearby micro-skirted slappers:
Totty 1: “OH MY GAWD - did you hear that?”
Totty 2: “Animal”
:(
