WSOP circuit?

so a lot of things have happened this week and i probablly should have done a mid week post but most of the stuff was at the end of the week so yeah ill get into it with online poker. not too much has really happend in online poker i was kinda breaking even and being in the red slighty for the first 3 or 4 days and then most of my last sessions have been pretty decent and im sitting 10 buyins up so far for the month so things are moving along there, as for live it has been going very well this last week the first bit of the month didnt have too much action and i was kinda just breaking even then i heard that a casino about 15 miles off the strip called red rock had a pretty good 1/2 game and a nice poker room and ive wanted to visit it before i left so i decided one day to play there and ended up winning 550$ not because the game was super bad but mostly cause i sucked out on somone for 200$ and then ran pretty decent. theres nothing too special about the game there and i think the game at the mgm is more profitable and actually closer so i wont be going there again before i leave. then the next day i went to the venetian and won 450$ then for the next couple day i lost a total of 100$ and then today i went to the wynn and played the 1/3 game and won 575$ so right now im up 1650 for the month and if things continue this month might end with another personal best. im actaully going to most likely spend half my time at the wynn and the venetian now. the wynn's 1/3 game is really juicy and has a max buyin of 500$ most people buy in for 300 including me but the game plays like a soft game of 1/2 but the big bling being 3$ makes your raise size more "respectable" by everyone who judges by dollar amount instead of bb's. so things are going pretty well for this week. also they were spreding a private game at the wynn of 20/40 nl with a minimum buyin of 50k.... yeah 50,000$ i guess its some rich guy who invited whoever or somthing but yeah one of the dealers said standard opening raises was like 1000 so i guess the blinds dont really matter in that game. he also said somthing that gave me more confidence which was he thaught i would actually do pretty good in that game (if i had the money) he said its not the "standard" type of poker and very splashy which ive always thaught that the big buyin games were kinda like that sometimes when they spread a 10/20 at the venetian they have people buyin for 20k so i kinda undrstand how the game kinda plays bigger than what it really is.
its not the first time ive been told i have a solid playing style, by dealers and players so whenever i hear people tell me that it gives me more confidencce in my game. also i guess the WSOP circuit is coming to ceasers in the middle of the month and they have quite a bit of events with a buyin of 350$, i actually told myself before i came down here if the trip went well id like to play in a wsop circuit event and i just might, if this month keeps up i might play one of the events in the last couple weeks im here so who knows maybe ill make somthing happen

now for the spicy stuff. so the begining of the week not to much has happend in the "life" category just working out and same routine but friday my friend hit me up and wanted to know if i wanted to go to the new club in paris called chateau. its the newest opened club on the strip so i was down i was actually suprised about the whole experience the line wasnt horrible we did get there a little before it opened and took about 30 minutes to get in but there wasnt an admission, maybe cause they were trying to premote the club or somthing and the club was actually pretty cool the inside was pretty decent had a couple bars bunch of places to dance and a lot of females. also me and my friend were talking to some girls that were all in the same area before the club started to get packed and they said they were "working" and i guess the club hired about 25 of them to dance and stuff untill 1am then they were free to do whatever but they were dressed as normal people which i guess was another way they were trying to premote the club, but there were a lot of other girls besides them so i dont know. there was also an outside area which is where most of the tables are and it did have loud music outside as well but you could still talk and hear each other but outside was a better spot to talk with female units, it also had a very good view of the bellagio and the water fountains as well as ceasers and the cosmo but after a few hours i was ready to go i got out of the club and was suprised to see no line at 1 am. to me the club was pretty cool and id rate it at one of the better clubs in vegas for an all around experience. but its in paris which isnt that booming of a hotel casino so i dont know how well the club is actually gonna do. then yesterday i was playing poker with my friend at the wynn and told him i needed to go to a strip club before i left vegas and he was like alright were going tonight so again i said im down. we left the casino at like 1 am and decided to go to larry flynts hustler club which my friend sayed was awesome and he was pretty right it. although it wasnt packed and i guess it was slow it had a bit of people in there and plenty of pretty ladies, i was a good boy though and only dropped 175$... sometimes i cant help it. annnnywhoooozle i leave the rest for imagination.

i was going to try and make a hand history for this hand i played today but i guess im not smart enough or just lazy either way im typing it now. its a the 1/3 game at the wynn today and ive probablly been at the table for 45 minutes and have already won 275$ so i got a stack of 575$ there a few early position limpers and i raise to 20$ with AK of spades in mp, guy to my left calls then a short stacker calls and the bb and and 2 of the previous limpers. yhe pots 120$ flop comes J 10 5 with the jack and ten being spades. i was like sweet this is a pretty decent situation. it actaully gets checked all the way to the short stack in on the button who shoves for 65$, bb folds then two callers at this point i was like alirght im going to see this for cheap and ive got a lot of equity. there were a lot of players in the hand who had stacks of 300+ so i dont think betting the flop was an option or check raising. but the guy to my right had a different idea. when the action got to him he shoves for 575 making the pot just under 900$ i knew i wasnt getting odds for it and thaught about it for about 30 seconds and folded with that "i hate my life look" on my face everyone else folded turn of course comes a spade which would have gave me the nut flush and river is a king button turns over q 9 for a straight and guy to my right turned over QQ!! theres a couple sirens going off in my head at this point number one this guy limped with qq after 2 limpers before him and a 600$ starting stack. also his check raise on the flop was just notrosious seeing how anything that had him beat was still calling and his equity against 17 players in the pot wasnt the best either. also 3 queens were gone from my possible outs and even if a queen did come on the turn the quy could have possibly filled up on the river i was getting like 1.75-1 to call and needed at least 2-1 to call if my overs werent good which i thaught they wouldnt have been. there was a lot of comotion about the hand and i told the table i folded AK of spades and every one of them told me they would never fold in that spot ever i told them i didnt have odds but that didnt change their minds LOL. but yeah had i stayed in that pot it would have been almost 1500$ and wouldve been the biggest pot i ever won. guess ill have to save that achievment for another day.
