I played at Bellagio for the first time tonight. It was 30-60, which was interesting only because it's the highest I've played. I bought in for 1600, and watched half of it trail away in the first two hours or so. It is a testament to something that I have no emotional reaction to this anymore. I know where I made mistakes, and where i just got unlucky (I lost a big pot (750 or so)when I flopped an open ended straight draw and a flush draw, made the straight on the turn, made the flush on the river but lost to the nut flush). It was a crazy game: one guy was raising constantly and calling raises constantly, a woman to my immediate right was three betting pre-flop seemingly all the time as well.
people started to respect my raises and suddenly, we were playing six handed. I beat the table up a bit... both three betting the woman with pocket 3's, but also I had a fortunate instance where three people limped in and I had AA in the big blind. I raised, and another guy re-raised. I four bet it and it got everyone else out. Two guys were trapped for two bets pre-flop... there was 390 in the pot before the flop... and I was heads up with a guy who folded to my flop bet (now that's a little weird... I'm thinking J10 suited. He did say "I wanted everyone else to come along too," as he folded.)
Anyway, I ended up just a little for the session, but I came back and even made some money. It's nice to be comfortable at 30-60... I guess I'll play some more and see what happens. I certainly felt like one of the best players at the table.
The lifestyle is fun too... Wake up whenever, chill out, decide what casino I'm going to, and cruise on over. The casinos buy me dinner because I'm playing there, so that's nice too.
FREE FOOD! Love it.
