Day 9: surviving Bellagio

Played 30-60 again at Bellagio.

bought in for 1500, then I bought another 600 in chips when most of that was gone... soon i was down about 17 or so. I hung in there, came back and even was profitable for about 5 min... then the swings began: I would be down 500, the n it would be 1400, then 800... most of the evning the deficit was 4 figures... I was exhausted and played for about ten hours through to 6 in the morning. The game was only fair, but still, I hung in there. I won two pots in a row where I flopped the nut flush heads up and got paid off on every street by the pre-flop raiser, and then when I called a raise with 76s and turned trip 7s. this got me back to being down only 600. I decided that was pretty good (as , every time I was down 1400, I would wonder why i hadn't gotten up to leave when i was only down 700 or so) and got the hell out of there. It was about 6:30 in the morning when I did so...
It was a long fun session. and while I lost, and am back to being down for the trip, it sure could have been worse.
