Guns'n'Roses/casino trip report w/pics
byrnesam, July 02
Epic Trip Report
Friday was the first show of Guns n Roses - Chinese Democracy tour
14 years since they had last been to NZ. Although its just Axel this time around.
I initially thought the show started at 7, so planned to get the 5:20 bus arriving at 6. The show wasnt till 8 so i decided to get the bus anyway and roll over the casino whilst i waited. When i got to the casino i bought a beer which was 6x more expensive than if you buy it at a shop (beat). So i set about high rolling at the 2c slots. I have no idea how a slot works but i did quite well and ended up like $28 on my initial investment (brag). Woman who sat next to me got dominated by her machine (variance).
It took me at least half an hour before i located the "collect" button, and decided this machine had run its course. Took my fist fulls o' dollars and went back to the bar to purchase further beers with my new found wealth.
Went on to another slot machine (beat) (same as before in different location) this time a smelly man sat next to me (variance). His machine again dominated him, but i was running hot for another $15 scoop - purchased more beer (brag).
Then i decided that the Dragon Lord slot machines could take no more of my ill skillz, and i went to one of the newly opened low stakes blackjack tables. $5 a hand i sit down at the empty table. He asks if i know how to play im like "OBV IM SICK WIDDIT" and he waits for me to cut the cards (didnt know u had to do that) anyway, he was a friendly guy and explained the etiquette that is skipped over on Party Blackjack.
About 2 hands in an old woman sits at my table and puts $5 on my hands (I did not know you could do this) anyway she obviously pegged me as a sick card counting gambler shark (that i am) - and i obliged by dominating my hands playing like a legend.
I won every hand to begin with, then i lost a hand and was like "urgh..." then i lost another. So being cool - i hit and run and escaped with $105 in chips (WHUT! BALLIN!) I cant remember how much i bought in for maybe like $80 or something i didnt wanna look like a cheapo with a tiny stack. So i was up huge amounts lifetime at these so called "unbeatable" games - with a massive sample to proove it. Maths is wrong. In hindsight i should have martingaled to ensure victory.

net worth in my hand
I take a taxi down to the venue because its raining. It costs like $10 or something but its cool coz im ballin so hard from my casino run.
I purchase like 6 beers or something pre-gig to get myself buzzed up. I also bought some hot chips and ate them on the toilet because i needed a piss, thought i was gonna spew my guts out - those chips were hard to get down. ROCK N ROLL!
The smell of the beer in a plastic cup bought back fond memories of emptying my stomache at Iron Maiden.
The warm up acts were pretty cool. Didnt know any of their songs so i didnt really care that much and i missed quite a bit because i was in the line for beers. I battled my way to about 12 deep to get ready for the Guns.
During the warm-up act i was stood behind these 2 really cute japanese chicks (I had some yellow fever) i pretty much sexually assaulted them - but asian chicks are into that stuff right? ive seen some vieos on the net so i figured id go with it. Theyd probably also have liked it if i spewed on them then took a dump in their mouth. The first chick was bopping to the music and i stood behind her so her ass kept bumping into my crotch - and i popped a semi-boner, i also let my hand touch the ass of the other chick. Its rock n roll - what can you do? neither of them noticed.
I wanted to stay behind them for the whole concert but when Axel came out the crowd went crazy and there was a massive push forward. Welcome to the Jungle blazed out and i moshed around in a sea of other peoples sweat. You could see it rising from the heat in the crowd it looked like fog.

Guns n Roses in full swing
Axel has not lost it. He is a brilliant entertainer. I was like 12ft away from a rock legend. I forced myself forward till about 5 deep. These 2 guys start fighting just to my right. One of them gets pointed out to the bouncer and he drags this guy forward - despite his best efforts to resist, everyone (including me) pushed him forward and he got yanked over the fence (then everyone cheered)
I was now about as far forward as i could go. My lovely shirt was in the way so i took that off and threw it into the crowd ( -$8) and at one point my trousers nearly fell down lol
Pretty sure Axel made eye-contact with me at one point (brrrrag)
Show was good and i was now wearing 3 t-shirts and sweating like a mother-fucker. My old GnR one, my new tour shirt and a tour shirt i bought for girl #1 from the other threads.
Show ended at about 2:30am and i decided i could probably make it back to the casino and just hang out there till the buses started running again (like 5 hours)

Confetti at end of show, huge beat for the janitor
Its hard to find a tall building from the ground and i was pretty sure my chances of getting beaten up, robbed and raped were at an all time high as less and less people from the concert were ahead of me. I ended up down all these side streets going past the entrances to hip hop clubs with all the G'd up niggaz outside them. Not where you want to be when youre in full on bogan mode.
Also went past a strip club and a massage parlor ($120 half hour special) I considered that a fair price but wasnt nearly drunk enough to act upon my instincts plus is was like 3am so theyd all be covered in drunk man spooj. Next time i might go and bet $120 on blackjack and have that as my prize.
Eventually made it back to the casino. Head to the bar to get some water and a coke - they were both free BOOYA! so i drink them then get a fanta and a water to make sure that i roll this bitch for all its worth. I get $20 in coins and head for Dragon Lord - this time he totally crushes me. So did OutBack Jack and i was so sure i was gonna win the jackpot. I also spent $8 trying to win a BMW but for some reason i didnt win (must be rigged only against me)
I walk up to the poker place and feel that 3am on a friday is probably a good time to play. I ask what games and he says $60/$100NL and $100/$200NL. Not wanting to sound like a noob and ask if they were the blinds i just say "oh ok" and walk off. Id have only got rolled by the rake anyway and the games were only going to be running for another 45 minutes which is like half an orbit live. The blackjack table from before is cashing up so i re-evaluate the situation.
I walk downstairs and sit at the roulette table. Get $50 in chips and start betting red/black. Obviously ive got sick prediction skills and started to roll this table with $10 bets martingaling when i lost one (martingale system works in real life - its rigged online though)

Proof that the Matingale system lets you beat table games
So i double my money when the table closes and decide to go to the casier. I get my winnings in a fat $100 bill.
I realise that if im gonna catch a taxi with this its gonna be full-fare if i pay with a $100 bill (last time ride was like $60) so i withdraw $40 and get a cab home (i told him thats all i had) he asked how much i lost tonight and i said "about $100" small enough to be realistic but big enough that he will take pity and knock a few $$$ off my ride. Turns out the ride was only like $45 so next time ill start at around $30.
In total: i dunno how much i spent.
shirt $8
2x tour shirt: $90 - this was borderline robbery, but its not like ive ever paid for a guns n roses CD.
taxi to: $10
taxi home: $40
6x beer at venue: $36
hot chips: $4
5x beers at casino: $30
slot roll: $20
-$238
Dragon Lord ownage: $30
blackjack domination: $25
roulette rumble: $50
free drinks (lol comped) $??
some other slot shit: $10
+$115
total -$123 (not including ticket but that doesnt count)
Still down but dominating. +$45 in refunds for t-shirt from girl.
Casinos are the fuckin shit. $80 for a sick night is all good.
brag: Axel turned up
brag: sang along with him
variance: the band members
brag: got away with sexual assault
brag: owned casino
beat: taxi rides
beat: beer expenses
variance: still alive
beat: girl #1 didnt get to come coz it sold out
variance: attended on my own

Long update
Daut, July 01
Havent updated in a while, my stupid computer wont connect to webpages, only poker sites and aim. its really awful, i cant even connect to FTP anymore because there is an update and i cant get to the webpage to dl it. sick beat. so right now im posting this on clint's (beatifulman) computer
oh well, here is a quick list of what has happened so far this summer.
-I've done pretty shitty during the series. so far ive played 15 events and have only cashed in 2 for small cashes. ive bubbled 2 and busted out in the money with aces in another. basically running really bad in them cause ive played very well in 13 of the 15 events (played bad in the plo rebuy and the stud8). but thats ok because...
-the guys im backing are doing really well. from the last post, everyone knows mig won a bracelet, and i bought a percentage of online mtt player brett favre for the series, and he just got 2nd in a 2k limit event. kind of funny, i havent met him yet, but im really happy for him and me of course
-the first house i moved into was across the street from a bunch of degenerate white trash meth dealers. not joking. nancy martin (martine23's mom) is my hero though, she found us this awesome new house. its called a mini castle. heres a link to it:
www.luxuryrealestate.com/662782
some pictures of the place:

we have a knight:



as you can see, nancy martin rules.
-this guy named thenut21 got 2nd in the 1k sunday for 158k, but lost hu with KK v AA and first place got 310k. i guess he went on lifetilt after that, cause he lost his mind and started playing 4 5k hus at a time. i managed to sneak a game in vs him and won. check out our sharkscopes, mine looks pretty baller with the straight line up now and his looks so hilariously sad:
mine:

his:

-i am doing the online broadcast of the 2k nl final table today. ill be doing the poker commentary and there is a guy who will chime in with jokes and ads and other commentary type things while im babbling. you can watch the feed on www.worldseriesofpoker.com it costs 50 bucks to sign up for all the broadcasts for the series, but there are a few really good ones to watch, like dirksens final table with zeejustin commentating and the one brian and taylor did.
thats about it. hopefully internet starts working again.

Day 3 with PICTURES!
JonnyCosMo, June 20
Obviously this time I got pictures. In my Day 2 post I was in a rush to get back to the poker room so I couldn't put up any pics. So yesterday I basically played in that tournament in the morning that I talked about in my last post, then Derric (actionDJ) gave me a call so I met up with him, his girlfriend Shana and his girlfriend's friend Anna. We headed off to the pool with Mango and met up with TYROMPER and his girlfriend Courtney coming back from the European section of the pool. For most of the afternoon we just chilled and drank pool side.
After the pool we headed to the poker room to pick up Lyric for dinner. Ate at Corsa at the Wynn, and it just wasnt nearly as good as some of their other places to eat. So after I headed off to The Mirage to hang out with Shana, Anna, and Derric in their baller ass suite. The original plan was to hit up Pure (in Ceasars) but we convinced the girls that Daut's house was like x1000 more baller than any night club. Now the problem: How to transport 7 people with one car.

Shana, Anna (behind her), Me, and actionDJ

Anna, Me, and actionDJ
So let's stuff 5 people in the back of Lyric's Porshe Caymen! Seems like a smart idea! So we head off to Daut's baller pad, and upon arrival half the house was upstairs watching Martine23 play the final table of the PokerStar's Super Tuesday. With 5 left, he shoved K6 in SB vs BB and was "slowrolled" by this euro guy who tanked and called w/ A6s. Martine23 bricks off and is out in 5th. He then proceeds to berate the shit out of the rest of the FT players. Some funny ass shit.

actionDJ, Mango, Lyric, and pmilanov
So Lyric goes out and grabs a lot of beers, then we decide to transform the nicest marble table in the entire house into a beer pong table. And the battles begin:
Genius28 & youngman VS. actionDJ & Shana

actionDJ & Shana

Lyric, Mango, Anna, and Daut
At the end it was Genius28 & youngman who hustled the Santa Cruz beer pong pros. Next match:
Genius28 & youngman VS. JonnyCosMo & pmilanov

Me and Pavel getting totally fucked...

youngman & Genius28
We got swept pretty hard, leaving 5 cups on their side as they cleaned us out. Genius28 & youngman now 2 for 2. Next match:
Genius28 & youngman VS. Mango & Anna

The defending champions

The challengers: Mango & Anna

And once again... The winners are...
Genius28 & youngman, just hustling everyone so far. Then Martine23 entered the room after getting over his bust-out of the Super Tuesday.

Martine23, Genius28 and youngman
So we now had our next match:
Genius28 & youngman VS. Martine23 & Lyric

Discussion of possible prop bets??

The champions... struggling?
In the end, the underdogs came out on top and Martine23 and Lyric took down the defending champs. Next match:
Martine23 & Lyric VS. actionDJ & Shana

Team UCSC trying to get their shit together
actionDJ and Shana ended up taking this match in a really close 1 cup vs 1 cup ending. Next match:
actionDJ & Shana VS. JonnyCosMo & Jesse

"Oh fuck...

Ship??

Ding! Winnars! Happy Dance that shit!
Bam bam and the new champs are Me & Jesse! Ship ship!! So after that we all ended up going to the spa (which is huge) and chilled a bit there, and then Pavel ended up driving all of us back home in Lyric's car. While driving down LV blvd I stuck my head out and blew chunks so scratch #9 on my things to-do list. That is pretty much all I remember. Oh btw, most baller picture ever?:
LOL... ok hasta

Vegas bitchez!
SakiSaki, June 20
Hell YES! Tomorrow is finally the day, Im so fucking pumped! My flight leaves tomorrow morning and I have 14 hours of flying to look forward to :/ I fucking hate flying so much. I always get really bored and the seats are way to small to fit my slender, long scandinavian legs.
Awell, I have my ipod, books and laptop to keep me company so hopefully I wont get bored enough to kill myself. I will be staying with cosmo, sixpeppers and two fellows I dont know in a baller condo. I dont really have an adress for where we will be staying but I do have cosmos cellphone number so we can hopefully sort it out. If not, Ill just pull a twistedecho and head to the bellagio looking for familiar faces.
I cashed out about 10k from neteller for expenses and a live roll, unfortunately Im a retard and cashed out way to late but hopefully I will have the monies in my bankaccount by friday. Otherwise ill have to spend the weekend like a bum having only a couple of 100 bucks for playing/eating/being baller.
Anyways, I intend to update the blog regularily with stories/pictures of my encounters and adventures with all the legendary lp ballers currently hanging out in vegas.
Stay tuned
VEGGGGAAASSSS OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Day Dos of Da Vegas Trip
JonnyCosMo, June 19
So yesterday I basically woke up, went to the Wynn poker room and played til I dropped. I sat down at a juicy 2-5 table but couldnt get anything started. Then I moved over to my good friend Ann's table (Poker Pro Ann!) who is regular at the Wynn, and probably one of the better live pros I know. She plays some pretty sick 24+ hour sessions on a regular basis. My luck started picking up at her table as I raised A3s in the cut-off and the wreckless button called. Now before I explain the hand, let me tell you guys what I know: Ann is a thinking player who plays more off of instincts than off of the math. With that said, I know she is capable of huge hero calls, as well as some wacky plays. So Ann called from the big blind and the flop came 2-4-5. Ann leads $45, and I flat call in hopes the button goes psycho. The button folded, and the turn came a 9. Ann checked, and I bet $100. Ann didnt take very long and called. River is a 10, and Ann checked again. I thought about it for a little bit, then shoved for $350. That immediately got a weird look from Ann, as she reaches into her stack and counts out $350. I got the super stare down for the next 5 mins, as she kept asking me questions and saying things like "I think I'm going to make a donkey call" just to see my reaction. I just sat there silently for the most part as she continued to think about it. Then she asked "Will you show your cards if I fold?" I should have just said nothing, but for some reason I had to open my fucking big mouth and say something retarded along the lines of "I dont know whats the correct answer to that question." Way to give it away JonnyCosMo you fucking moron... she doesn't take too long after and ends up folding. To make matters worse, I decide to be the nice guy and show her the A3. Smart one... Later on we talked and she told me she tossed QQ. I play so bad, how do I not stack an overpair there, zomg.
I end up making like $500 in that first session, and took a break to get something to eat and walk around. Lyric and Daut came from the $2500 6-max WSOP event and told me they both busted so we all went to the buffet at the Wynn w/ Pavel. After we ate we all went back to the poker room to play. A young kid sat to my right at the new 2-5 table I was at and was obviously an internet player. So I asked what his ID was on PokerStars and he told me he was GoGator86 (a NL200 regular who I use to play against) so that was cool. We talked a lot about the games online, and I noticed he was being the most active player at the table preflop. Raises and repopping people left and right. So I'm $700 deep and he covers at this point when a loose player raises in MP to $25 and he reraises right behind him to $75. I look down to see AKo... I figured I could just fold... but this might be a good spot to try that 4 bet over the top squeeze. So I make it $250. Everyone folds as does the original raiser, back to GoGator86, who takes like 10 seconds and then says "Reraise all-in". Ugg... fuck me. So I call and hate myself when I see his AA. Flop came a K, but turn and river brick off and I lose that $1400 pot to put me back to even on the day. Shit. I play 2 hours more after that and couldnt get much working so I went back to my room around midnight and just crashed.
Woke up this morning at 11:30 and decided to play the $330 tournament at the Wynn. They start you off w/ 5000 in tournament chips with really slow blind levels starting at 25/50 and moving up every 45 mins. So 20 mins into the tournament I pick up AQo, folded to the cut-off he raises to 150, I reraise to 550, he calls. Flop comes A-K-3 all hearts, he checks, I look and see I have the Qh, so I check (apparently a mistake). Turn comes Kc, he bets 700 so I smooth call. River is the As and he insta shoves his last 4000 into the pot. I'm like "Whaa.... ok I hope we chop." and call. He taps the table and is like "I thought you had nothing" as he mucked his cards. Thanks for the gift sir. So I'm up to 10k, build up to 12k over the next hour. Then right before the 1st break, at 75/150 the utg player (10k stack) raises to 600, folded to me in the big blind and I look to see KK. I make it 1600. UTG player looks at me and insta raises to 6000. So I insta re-shove all-in and he insta calls and shows me AA. Bam, board bricks off for me and I'm down to 2k in chips. We take a 15 min break, I come back and on my 2nd hand I find AA on the button. UTG limps, folded around to me, I make it 1200 at 100/200 blinds. One of the blinds calls, and the utg calls. Flop comes Q-2-3 rainbow. Check check to me, so I put my last 800 in obv. The blind tanks for a while then puts in a call. The limper reshoves all-in, and the blind folds. Limper has 33, gg JonnyCosMo.
Poker sucks lol.

A young kid sat to my right at the new 2-5 table I was at and was obviously an internet player. So I asked what his ID was on PokerStars and he told me he was GoGator86 (a NL200 regular who I use to play against) so that was cool. We talked a lot about the games online, and I noticed he was being the most active player at the table preflop. Raises and repopping people left and right. So I'm $700 deep and he covers at this point when a loose player raises in MP to $25 and he reraises right behind him to $75. I look down to see AKo... I figured I could just fold... but this might be a good spot to try that 4 bet over the top squeeze. So I make it $250. Everyone folds as does the original raiser, back to GoGator86, who takes like 10 seconds and then says "Reraise all-in". Ugg... fuck me. So I call and hate myself when I see his AA. Flop came a K, but turn and river brick off and I lose that $1400 pot to put me back to even on the day. Shit. I play 2 hours more after that and couldnt get much working so I went back to my room around midnight and just crashed.
Woke up this morning at 11:30 and decided to play the $330 tournament at the Wynn. They start you off w/ 5000 in tournament chips with really slow blind levels starting at 25/50 and moving up every 45 mins. So 20 mins into the tournament I pick up AQo, folded to the cut-off he raises to 150, I reraise to 550, he calls. Flop comes A-K-3 all hearts, he checks, I look and see I have the Qh, so I check (apparently a mistake). Turn comes Kc, he bets 700 so I smooth call. River is the As and he insta shoves his last 4000 into the pot. I'm like "Whaa.... ok I hope we chop." and call. He taps the table and is like "I thought you had nothing" as he mucked his cards. Thanks for the gift sir. So I'm up to 10k, build up to 12k over the next hour. Then right before the 1st break, at 75/150 the utg player (10k stack) raises to 600, folded to me in the big blind and I look to see KK. I make it 1600. UTG player looks at me and insta raises to 6000. So I insta re-shove all-in and he insta calls and shows me AA. Bam, board bricks off for me and I'm down to 2k in chips. We take a 15 min break, I come back and on my 2nd hand I find AA on the button. UTG limps, folded around to me, I make it 1200 at 100/200 blinds. One of the blinds calls, and the utg calls. Flop comes Q-2-3 rainbow. Check check to me, so I put my last 800 in obv. The blind tanks for a while then puts in a call. The limper reshoves all-in, and the blind folds. Limper has 33, gg JonnyCosMo.
Poker sucks lol.

Day 1 in Vegas w/ LP
JonnyCosMo, June 18
So I arrived in Vegas and met up with my roommate Pavel (pmilanov on Stars and FTP) and we went over to check in to our mini-baller room at the Wynn. Let me take the time to say, the Wynn is easily the nicest hotel in Vegas. Hands down. And they give poker players a sick good room rate for only playing 6 hrs a day at the poker room. EZ Yo!
So after taking a shower I immediately headed down to the Wynn Poker Room and started playing some $2-$5. Wow the players that play in casinos are terrible. I have KQ in middle position folded to me, I raise. I get 2 callers. Flop comes K-T-7 rainbow. Donk out of the blinds check, I bet $75 into a $100ish pot. Guy behind me folds, and this donk calls. Turn comes a 7. He checks I check. River comes a 3. He checks, I bet out $125. He's like "I can't put you on a King" and calls. Ship it. Then he starts telling the guy next to him how if I played the hand correctly and bet the turn he could have laid down his AT. I said sorry to him and told him I play bad. Make sure the donk knows that he's correct about his idea of the game. Came out of my first session +$500 which was sweet.
Lyric randomly ran into me in the Wynn poker room and there he introduced me to none other than Lex (RaSZi) and Dan (Rekrul) playing some $10/20. They are both real cool guys. So after, Lyric, Mango, Pavel and I went to dinner at Border's Grill at Mandalay Bay. Definitly some good mexican food. Daut met up with us after he went busto from the $3k WSOP event, and later on in the night Myth, and Ket both came to dinner. Obviously Ket is the man.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend... Ket
Mig.com came right when we were leaving and for the first time I got to see his brand new WSOP Bracelet. Totally baller yo. The plan was to head over to the Wynn and figure out our plan from there. Back at the Wynn poker room we all went up to talk to Rekrul again while he was still playing. Rek was playing with some sick big stack of bills and massive mountain of chips since all of Wynn's poker games are uncapped. While we were talking we see a guy at Rekrul's table stand up and start swearing "You stupid mother fucker, fucking shit I can't believe that. This fucking kid is so bad". Apparently Rekrul check/raised this guy all-in on a T-6-3 rainbow board w/ K7. The guy snap called with KK. Turn 4, river 5. Obviously this guy didn't know... Rekrul can see the turn and the river. So the guy just storms off and leaves and we all start busting up laughing over it.

[vital]myth, Ket, pmilanov, and mig.com

mig.com, Lyric, Mango, Daut, and RaSZi (cut-off)
We meet up with RaSZi and finally figured out that we were going to drive over to Ryan's total $4million baller pad on the south side of the strip. So we get there and wow....

The group gathers to leave
So words cannot describe how baller this pad is... When we got in, we saw Martine23, Reddog, tbc, and Genius28 all on this huge stretch couch playing on their laptops. We went down to the game room and were met with a poker table and a pool table with some baller ass chairs to boot.

Wannabe pool hustlers

Wannabe poker hustlers
So we whipped out the drinks and played some crazy ass $1-$2 mixed game format with a 50 cent ante and it just got totally degen yo. Daut on the other hand decided to get his champion sleep for the $2500 6 handed event coming up.

We end up heading home around 4:00am and I just pass out. Btw for those that dont believe me that Wynn is the sickest place ever, just check out the view from my room:




Ok I'm going to plug in some more hours downstairs at the tables. Later you guys!

Shitty session, but breakeven
Twisted, June 17
Pretty hungover today, but decided to play some nontheless. Was a big swingy, but I played alright I think. Had a few bad beats against me like these:
Openended = nuts
Openended = nuts#2
Also kind of sucked out in one, but I figured I had about 15% equity here in hindsight because he was giving me a free card on the turn. I'd give up if I didn't hit obviously so I'd lose 95$ 85% of the time, but win 470$ 15% of the time, so that comes pretty close to 0EV I guess. Probably like -50$.
The "suckout"
The rest of my hands is possibly like breakeven in terms of EV, so if I look at only these 3 hands, I should be up 1450$ more considering the openended straight hands were all like 75%/25% favourites.
Well I'm happy nontheless that it's not a losing session:

Mig.com is my hero
Daut, June 16
yesterday, mig won a bracelet in the 5k nl event in the biggest steamroll of a final table ive ever seen. with the exception of one hand, he won every single pot he voluntarily put a chip into the pot. he totally destroyed the entire ft.

what a hero.
its sad in a sense because i wont be backing him anymore, hes made enough to go out on his own, it would have been nice to have him through the main event cause he gonna destroy some more peoples, but i couldnt be happier for him.
2 of my friends have won bracelets now, i need to get my ass moving. at least ill get in a ton of bracelet winning pictures as my friends own the poker world.
