APAT - Vegas Vengeance: Sunday, 20th November 2011
After all that sleep I was more than refreshed and ready for a day of grinding so after my usual lounge around the room I walked over to the Venetian. Food was the first order of business so I chose the Grand Lux Cafe for a couple of Stella and a very nice Club sandwich.
After that, I got seated into a 4/8 Omaha 8 game after just a couple of minutes. Despite going off with only six players the table filled up quickly.
The play was challenging to say the least and my stack yoyo’d between $100 and $200 most of the time. The hardest part was an idiot at the opposite end of the table who would stay in with even the most ridiculous no-draw and get there on the river.
Not only that but he slow-rolled me twice. Sigh.
I crushed him later when I made the ultimate nuts on the turn and he just wouldn’t let go and took him for a decent chunk of change.
Unfortunately, that chunk only got me back to my starting stack and after five hours I was down a whole $4.
That was enough and I wanted to play the IP Mixed Game so I cashed out and strolled over and got my name on the list around 6.30pm.
I was joined after a while by JP Round, James Edwards and Chen Tam and we got under way dead on 7pm with a few other randoms.
Laughs were had, suck-outs were bad and we played for quite a while. I couldn’t get much going...it was that kind of day...and, besides, having played this game before I’ve always treated it as a donation.
So after 6 hours play I was down $100 and I was yawning so I called it a night, especially as I was going to have, at least for this trip, and early morning the next day
I made the short walk back to Harrah's and crashed.
