Leaving Las Vegas (Pt. 2)

So we left off with a $1144 profit over 5 hold 'em sessions. Now onto the ugly stuff:

Sportsbook: -796 (whiffed on 1 4tm parlay, 2 3tm parlays, 1/3 on 2tm parlays, 0/2 on misc)
Table Games/Slots: -819 (-269 slots, -120 blackjack,-330 tx hold em table game(yuck), -100 pai gow)

-1615 (TB/Sportsbook losses) + 1144 (poker) = -471
-250 (hotel and gas)
-500 (going out, staking, misc expenses)

-1321


Wait. Hold on. Come on dude, I thought this was supposed to be a frickin' poker blog, not a gamblers anonymous testimonial?

Unfortunately, this is not the case. I, my friends, am the ultimate degenerate fish.

Taking a second look, even without the table games I would still end up profiting only $294 after my expenses. It was little consolation that I discovered 56 complimentary Harrah's offers to come back for free in my Inbox upon my return. GD opportunists.

My hope is that this develops into an actual poker blog instead of a fishy sob story. Look forward to discussions on bank roll management, implied odds, and tournament theory instead of bankruptcy diaries, seven card straight flush pai gow odds calculators, and eleven-team parlays. I'll go over my goals for the next six months away from the tables along with my strengths and deficiencies at the table for my next posts. Hope to see y'all around.
