Session 4

Well, going to make this short since am in vegas and want to get back into the action.  My plans did not pan out too well yesterday.  Met my dad at the luxor around 2 or so yesterday afternoon and then we went to check out the poker room and where severly disappointed they had 2 tables playing 1-2 NL and that was it.  So we decided to make the trek out to the Venetian where we played last year.  They have a huge poker room and a lot of action.  One of the Deepstack Tourneys is going on right now so that brings in even more. 

I started playing about 3:45 in the 1-2 NL game and my bad luck streak continued.  In the first hour and a half I had lost 600, I was playing well but just gettin severly unlucky.  I started to come back and then got sucked out on twice by the same crazy forigen guy.  He would go all in on the flop and I have a set of 7's so I call him for 220 and he runner runners a straight on me.  Then a few hands later I have top and middle pair and he goes all in again on the flop so I call him again for another 200 or so and he has Top pair with a good kicker and it comes runner runner JJ to counterfeit me.  So about 10 pm I bought in for my last 200 by about 1 am I was down to about my last 150 when I won a monster ~550 pot.  This time it was my turn to get lucky on the river.  I had A8 and 2 other players in the pot, the flop was 8-7-8 with 2 hearts.  I made a bet on the flop and it was called and then the next guy went all in, and I called.  The last action was from eastern europe and was really talking the hand up about what he should do.  He showed the A-10 hearts and there was abotu 400 in the pot and he was debating if he should call with the nut flush draw.  He eventually did after about 5 or 6 minutes of analysing the hand for everyones benefit and how much it would be for him to call and the pot size and what we both had etc.....Well he calls.  The inital raiser of course had 8-7 for a full house.  I had three 8's with and Ace and the third player had the nut flush draw.  The turn brought in 9 of hearts.  So now we have Full house, me with 3 eights and the next guy with the nut flush and now an open ended straight flush draw.  Well the river brought me the ace of clubs to give me the bigger full house and take down the pot.

On a side note I hit up the roulette table at about 2:30am and got real lucky and won 275 so I am only 30 short of what I brought here.  So hopefully today will be a better day.  Starting off basically new so hopefully I can dodge the horrible luck I have been getting the last 2 days and start making some upward momentem, and going to add that 275 back into the bankroll, since this is Vegas gotta roll with it.
