I'm going to have to do more interesting stuff in Vegas I think, otherwise my daily blog will get boring. I got up at about 2pm and made ket play some online poker while I watched.

Ket is a supernit, he was playing 10/20 6max and would open fold JTo, QTo sb v bb, he open folded QJs HU when the button raises etc. I think he might have been talking with us too much and not focused (he coldcalled a preflop raise with T2o in the sb, and then seemed confused when he noticed he had a flop decision with T2o in a raised pot). Mig, Rain and myself had a huge long discussion about mtt strategy, and we didn't end up watching ket too much. Ket finished up about 3k and we decided to go watch a movie that evening.
We played some pool, and I realised I suck as a hustler. I should have thrown a few games vs Rain and got everyone to up the stakes before winning, but instead I went 3-0 and now have to give him 1.5:1. Mig says he has played pool maybe 3 times in his life, so hopefully we can get him into some bets too. I also have a $500 bet with Rain that aba20 will be up vs. Farha, but they seem to have stopping playing since I made that bet... damn.
We decide to go see knocked up, but have 15 mins to kill so convince ket to play some poker. He finds a soft 50/100nl table on FTP and sits for ~4k (there were two people playing HU with about 4k when he sat), and a three handed 2550 table. Ket seemed annoyed we were calling him a nit earlier when he played, so he wasn't letting them push him around anymore! After me and mig berated him for not open shoving some random hand, he 3bets the button raise with Q2o and claims that he is calling a push. I'm fairly sure he only raised here because we'd berated him the hand before.
On the 25/50 table he defended his BB with KQ, and check minraised the buttons cbet on a K77 board, and shoved over his 4bet, losing to J7o. There goes his profit from earlier! So with 5 mins to go, he has to win $2500 back off the 50/100 table.
Button raises to 300 and ket defends the BB with J8d (both myself and mig were trying to get him to just shove preflop, but hes a nit!) Flop came AJ5dd, and they have like 3k behind, so like the easiest checkraise ever since everyone will be cbetting that flop. Ket instead decides to donkbet out 450, and gets coldcalled. Turn was some random lowcard, and ket now checks and the button bets $1200. Ket shoves for like 2k total and the button tanks and folds, as ket instantly leaves $300 up for the session. Shippppp
We drop Rain off at the Rio and go to watch Knocked Up. When we get there we finally find a DDR machine, and the battle is on! I pick the first song which is some ridic easy 9 footer (on DDR songs are ranked by 'foot', with 1 being really easy, and 10 being the hardest). Mig kept telling me how he was crushing 9 footers, but he failed pretty fast and got to watch me finish it.
He makes some lame excuse about it being 'live ddr' (WTF?!) and he needed to play an easier song. He picks two random songs I’ve never played (UK machines have like 10 good songs, US one has much more) and we both pass, with him getting a slightly better score. I then pick the easiest 9 footer in the game for the last one, and he fails that too. However mig claims he doesn't lose the sidebet since it was 2-2 on scores, despite him failing two. We will have to play again and come up with some better scoring, but after seeing him play, it should be a lock.
We then see Knocked Up which I’d recommend to everyone, really funny film. Mig thought it was really good too, but ket didn't like it, claiming Harold and Kumar was much better - we bust his balls about that for a while and head over the Rio so I ca register for the $1500 event. The queue is about an hour long, so I decide im going to play the $1k at the bellagio instead.
We get home and mig heads for bed at like 2am and me and ket chat for a while until rain gets back. I then get into the most retarded argument maybe ever with Rain about tournaments online for a few hours and headed for bed.
Tomorrow's blog will probably be about as interesting as this one, since again its 2pm and I’m just getting up. I'll probably try to watch ket play some more online and play some pool, and then head over to bellagio at 6pm to play the 7pm $1k. Hopefully I can have a few more interesting hands unlike the $1500 to post
