Monday 13th started with a deep stack tournament at the Caesar Palace
JB made a late entry but a too-soon departure as well and after struggling with my 'almost average stack' I had to start playing aggressively with no cards.. or let's say.. a range of cards between douce and eights with some jack-fours time to time...
I hit a draw on the flop with 7-8 off on a 4 way hand and soon after I double up my stake with good hands to reach 40k when the average stack was about 21k. Then my 8-4, 7-3, 4-9 off came again for another 2 hours and I started feeling the pressure of the blinds + antes.

So what it should happens, happened.. my stack was 20 bb and I pushed with my first 'not too bad hand' K-Q suited.
I get busted afer 6 hour of poker fighting with no cards.. I was quite disappointed because I think that, given the situation, I was playing pretty good..
Then lead to the pool, a cigar, a quick shower and direction downtown to visit the Binion's and Golden Nugget. After the dinner we decided to give a chance at the Golden for some cash 1-2.
The one that should not be named decided to go pay a visit to de slot machines...very soon... again...
JB & Myself were seated at two different tables, I found myself in a table of locals, and was for me a tough start with bets that had no-sense (bet 55u$ on a 24u$ pot) So I had to narrow my range of hands, and while watching baseball I was waiting for the good hands at the right spot.
I left the Golden after a few hours with a +370u$. I left at the moment that the table became crazy....
100u$ bet post flop was pretty current (remember it was supposed to be a 1-2 table) people were pushing with absolute rags and whishing to hit something, like the old guy at my right that made quads 7 against a full of tens.
What this guy had prior to push for 250u$ ? Q-7, yes he made quads on the river with only one 7 in his hand... and he was also claiming for the full vs quads jackpot by the way...

We took the one that should not be named in the blog from another slot machine on which again he cashed out big money and we grab a taxi for the hotel.. to find Jack Sparrow (seriously) playing poker on seat 10 on the lobby of our hotel..
Mondays are quite estrange days in Vegas..
