The Best View in Vegas

This is by far my favorite view in vegas



I messed around in some PLO games on full tilt today. I think it's about time that I learn to play the game well. Even with my limited experience I was still easily the best player at the 1/2 6 max PLO games I played. I'm going to be learning at the shorthanded games, as I pretty much can't stand playing full ring cash games anymore. Omaha also seems like it is a much more interesting game with 6 or less people. I'm probably going to dedicate 2000-3000 hands a week to learning it, and I think it will be a good gear switch from the 20k holdem hands I plan to play each week when I get back to FL. Here are a few interesting hands from the session today:

not sure that I should be betting this turn, but nobody showed strength on the flop so I figured I was probably good.

The pre-flop call was most likely bad, but I think I have to raise that flop. Him just calling really surprised me, and I figured I was toast when the send ace fell. When he checked again it looked to me like he must have had a bigger flush draw, so I shoved. Thankfully he didn't show up with quads.

Sunday is our last day in Vegas. We're going to eat a nice steak dinner, gamble a little then hit the road. I'm looking forward to being back in FL, I have some interesting projects to work on along with playing a ton of poker.
