Final Days 13/14/15

Friday was uneventful in terms of poker but involved a fair amount of drinks in the evening after a chilled afternoon by the pool.

Yesterday i played my final tournament of the trip, the 12pm $550 multi at the Venetian. Great structure but generally i kept running into bigger hands once the antes kicked in when being more agressive. There was one pot early though that i had a laugh about:

50/100 utg aggressive but poor betting player makes it 300, i call with 10,8off on the button and the blinds come in also. Flop is 852 (2 hearts) and utg bets his usually weak continue bet of only 400 so i make it 1200 to go, he calls. Turn is 5x and at this point i put him on a flush draw (rather than an overpair) so fire again 1700 this time which is called quick. River is Qh but he checks so i check also thinking shit he must had overpair then, but he shows A9hh for the flush LOOOOOL.

Ended up busting mid field on a squeeze play J9 vs AKstd, but once again i was happy with my play and this one was just not to be. Once again the standard was poor as with most games out here.

Afterwards i played 2/5$ and sat down for 1-2hrs making $250. Later i met the others in Caesars to catch up then when they left at midnight i had 2 hours on 2/5$ and made $650 thanks to a double gutshot and flushdraw hitting for a $1600 pot, all the money going in on the flop.

Its now day 15 (Sunday) and im in the airport waiting for a few hrs b4 the flight back, apparantly there are around 150 spare seats on the flight !!! I was considering an upgrade but went against it when i found this out , fingers crosses i will get 2-3 seats to myself as im at the back where most spare seats usually are anyway. As always not looking fwd to the flight or the drive back from London but thats part of the package.
