Thursday night we left Santa Fe, NM around 11-11:45PM (thanks girls lol)
Trip was on schedule until we were 30 miles east of Flagstaff. Fatal semi accident we sat there from 5:30AM until 8:30AM at a dead stop on the freeway. Finally got into Vegas around 2:30PM on Friday (hauling ass lol).

Friday -
Got checked into the hotel Friday afternoon my friends were extremely exhausted and I wasn't so planned to go play the $60 Bounty Tourney at Harrah's with an add-on of $40. It was planned to meet up with Steven there he wasn't able to make it in time for the tourney but he railed me for my 3 way chop for $488. (Saaweet!)* Pic on my facebook page of the chips from the 3 of us at the table.

That night started feeling sick and let my buds go out to Tao night club while I stayed behind. After a shower and a nap felt a lot better and decided I didn't want to walk all the way to Tao @ the Venetian. So I went downstairs into the casino in Bally's. I had watched the guy with $1500 on a $1/$2 NL game play like a total donk and my thoughts were "I'm gonna take all that money." I waited for a seat for 30 minutes finally got seated directly to his left. (Hellz YEAH!) As soon as I was dealt in, he left (OMGWTFBBQ?) So, there I sat at a table full of extremely tight players and made a total profit of $25 (lol)

Went back to the room when my friends got back and passed out.

Saturday -
The girls wanted to go shopping (oh man...) went to Planet Hollywood and played some $1/$2 NL. Sat on my $200 for a long time, then I stood up to go to the bathroom and instantly I hear a soothing calming voice say "Are you Sean Pilgrim?" It was Bazerk!!! We talked and she had gone out of her way to get me and my friends passes to clubs and free hot dogs and stuff (Yum!) and BTW, we greatly appreciate it and they all worked for us! We talked for a little while and then she had to go.

She brought good karma and good luck to me. I sat down and was dealt pocket 7's on the button. Flop was gorgeous!!! K7Q rainbow. Check, Check, I bet $25, call call, turn 8 (still no flushies possible) I raise $100, All in $135, fold.

River 6c.

KJo was worth his whole stack apparently. Nice pot.

Then I went to the bathroom (had to play my button first lol) Came back after using the restroom and talked to my younger brother for a little while came back (posted behind the button in the CO) there they are again pocket 7's. This time it was raised pre-flop to $12 I flat in the CO flop comes 7Q2 (OMG Yes!) Original Raiser C-bets for $18, I re-raise to $65, he re-raises that another $100. I thought about it for a minute, really debated I don't think top set would re-raise me here (but I have been playing a really solid game and he realizes this, even made a comment about it which really helped my bluffing capabilities with the rest of the table I was able to take down pots with almost any C-bet). He had about 35% of his stack invested at this point he too is a tricky player and pretty solid but does occasionally go to showdown with dominated aces or dominated top pair. I re-raised again all in. I wanted to get paid off and if I was behind, set over set is a cooler that's all, and I'd still have plenty of chips left. But, once he started really having to think about it I knew I was golden then I thought about whether or not I should have flatted the flop 4-bet.

He flashed pocket aces at me and I tried to induce a call by somewhat acting a little bit nervous but not too obvious that I was displaying an acting tell. He mucked his aces face up, and I decided to show him the set, that's a tough lay down sometimes and almost any recreational player calls that shove with aces. But, he knew better.

Cashed out a short while later Total chips $660 ($460 profit).* Pic on my Facebook in the Vegas album.

I was supposed to meet up with Steve around 5PM but got tied up entertaining the girls and shopping myself buying gifts for my mom and brother, and we absolutely had to go hit as many night clubs as we could. So, was not able to meet up for another game unfortunately.

Sunday-
We got back to the room at 5AM (lol party animals). Checkout was 12PM. We were up and ready to go and I always get so depressed leaving Las Vegas especially after some run good. Anyway a little more shopping for the girls and we finally left around 4PM. Traffic was expected at the Hoover Dam. What we could not believe is that AGAIN! I-40 east was closed 30 minutes east of Flagstaff (OMFG R U 4 REAL?) due to a dust storm causing low visibility. We stopped in Flagstaff to get some dinner at Chili's and finally they reopened it about an hour and a half later. From there on out. Smooth sailing home and finally was in my own bed at 5:30AM and now. At work at 1:30PM.
