This'll be quick, as I am headed in a matter of minutes Vegas. Actually not for poker purposes (primarily), but for the big Pacquiao/Hatton fight this weekend. Unfortunately we won't actually be going to the fight, but a group of guys and I decided that it would be worth it to go to Vegas this weekend just to soak in the atmosphere, bet some money on PacMan, and watch the fight on CCTV or at a sportsbook. Hopefully I'll be able to get in some poker at some point. In the past I have favored the Mirage's poker room, but given CK's endorsement of the Venetian's room, I may give it a shot.
Also, for fans of Vince and the Yer Gonna Rove My Nuts! series, this YouTube video is an absolute must-watch. OK, moving on to the actual hand:
Hero (MP): $111.95
CO: $26.45
BTN: $100.00
SB: $33.65
BB: $28.65
UTG: $50.70
UTG+1: $17.70
Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is MP with Ad Kh
UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.25, 2 folds, SB calls $2, 1 fold, UTG calls $1.75 (I had been pounding this UTG guy QUITE a bit, so I was preparing for him to spazz out any time soon. Very juicy to rook down and find AK after you've raised about 80% of a dude's rimps in the rast 20 minutes.)
Flop: ($7.25) 9h Kc Jc (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $5.50, SB folds, UTG calls $5.50 (Given this guy's loose pre-flop range and my image at this point, TPTK is enough to go down town to varue town! In other situations I might check behind here, despite how drawy the board is, because those draws will check/raise me often, and there are enough made hands - KJ, JJ/99, J9, QT - that I don't want to get all-in on the frop vs. most prayers.)
Turn: ($18.25) Kd (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $15.50, UTG calls $15.50 (Sure, why not, one more K couldn't hurt...but more than the fact that it improves my hand - the only plausible hand that I'm ahead of now that I wasn't ahead of before is J9 - it makes my opponent think that it's less likely I have a K, so his QJ or whatever is gold.)
River: ($49.25) 6s (2 players)
UTG bets $27.45 all in, Hero calls $27.45 (And he monkey-shoves it on in there. I really had no idea what to expect when he fripped over his cards. I thought he'd check/raise the frop with a decent draw or a monster made hand...shoving here makes it seem like he rivered something weird like K6, or he has some weak pair that he doesn't want to fold, but he doesn't want to check/call and get valuetowned either. Some weird pair like...)
Final Pot: $104.15
Hero shows Ad Kh (three of a kind, Kings)
UTG shows 9d 5d (two pair, Kings and Nines)
Hero wins $101.15
Bottom pair no good buddy! I guess he thought I might fold pocket tens!!!

Have u posted ur ftp sn? Is it fritz1 or something like that?
GL!
There will be tons of drunken Brits everywhere, so you'll be able to find great action almost anywhere you go. FYI for the last Hatton fight, MGM and IP were crawling with the drunken Brits. (MGM might be a bit of a nightmare though.)
Tilt: No, and no.
Bwop: My friends ended up wanting to gamble it up in downtown Vegas, so we were more around the Fitzgerald's/Binions/Golden Nugget area...action not quite as juicy at those poker tables as on the strip, but I valued sticking with my friends above the extra EV of sitting at a better table. Oh well.
