I am fairly drunk, so hopefully this is coherent enough to read.
I got up about 3pm as I couldn't register easily for the $1500NL WSOP event. Mig informed me that there was a $1k bellagio tournament at 7pm each day, so I decided to play that. Myth drove myself and ket to the bellagio at 5pm to get some food, and I was going to sign up for the tournament and they were going to play cash. We get to the bellagio and find out there was a tournament at 1pm, so I decide im going to donate money at cash.
We go to a decent Asian restaurant to eat first, but my meal is pretty bad. We go to play cash but the queues are so long so head to Caesars palace.
I follow myth to a 1/3 NL table where you could buyin for $500, and ket goes to play 5/10. I only buyin for $300 because I didn't realise you could buyin for more, and end up topping up to 500 an orbit in. Sadly due to drinking I don't remember too many pots, so you'll have to forgive that.
One hand random moron raises to 12, myth calls, button calls and I call with K9c. Flop comes 532dd and preflop raiser doesn't cbet. Myth bets $20 and I coldcall, and lead for $45 on the Ac turn. He tanks and finally folds, probably with air.
Then random kid who seems to be playing pretty decent LAG raises two limpers to $15. I call with KTd in position and both limpers call. Flop comes Ah Th Tc and its checked to me. Its the first time he hasn't cbet (he cbet twice into multiple people) and I bet $50 hoping to look like a bluff. Its folded to the preflop raiser who makes some speech about 'why $50' and finally calls. Turn is the Qh and he checks. We are 3 buyins deep so I check behind, and snapcall when he bets $50 on the 4d river with AQ.
Another hand i'm up to $700 and get KK in EP. I raise to 15 and get 5 callers including the bad lagtard button with $600. Flop comes Ts 6s 5d and I cbet $55. Button coldcalls and SB checkraises to $100. I announce allin and the dealer informs me I can't move allin. (oops, stupid live poker) and I call. Button now tanks, and finally calls too. The turn is 7s which is a sick horrible card, and I check and he turbo checks behind. River is 2s and I figure he hasn't got much and bet $100, he calls with 9s7h... lolz.
So i'm up to $1100 (+600 profit) and ket comes to play, the empty seat being to my left. While he gets his chips I move to that seat so I can have position on ket, shippp. He isn't pleased but whatever.
I now start drinking so my memory isn't wonderful, but ket manages to stack myth twice, making myth -$1200. He seems really upset and goes off for a walk, and eventually leaves to go home.
At this point ket is raping all the random morons, and has like 1500, and I have 1100. Its folded to the CO who opens to $20 with about $250, ket calls in the SB and I call in the BB with JTc. Flop comes 798r and its checked to the preflop raiser. He bets $50 and ket announces allin (lolz dumb internet player). I snapcall but ket has only put out a few hundred to cover the CO. I make sure the dealer knows ket went allin, and ket finally realises I have called him. CO calls with QTd, and ket tables T7o (he didnt realise I was still in the hand). Turn 7 river 9 and I ship ket the $2200 pot. Thankfully I had started drinking so I found the pot really funny, and kept laughing at ket.
The very next hand, UTG straddles and ket completes in the SB. I raise to 20 in the BB with ATs and the straddle calls. Ket makes it $80 and I turbo shove, and the straddle folds. Ket calls with A9o and doubles me up back to $1k.
I play a few random hands I don't remember, and get up to $1200. The MP limps for $3, CO with about 400 raises to $20 and I call with KQd on the button. The AdJdx board is dealt, and MP announces he hasn't acted yet, and tries to call. The floor is called and the flop is redealt. Rigged.
The new flop is T94 and its checked to me. I often take a stab here, but I decided to check behind with the plan of raising the preflop raiser on any turn if he bet. Turn is a J putting out two hearts, and he bets $30. I make it $100 straight and he shoves with 99. Obviously I snapcall, and river is a 9. Amazingly this is the SECOND worse badbeat I’ve taken.
At this point the game kinda dies so we cashout. Somehow i'm only down $200 after losing a $2200 pot with the nuts, and a $1k pot with the nuts and not winning any really big pots. Myth left -$1200 and ket was +$3k or so including 5/10 wins. I'd suggest reading kets blog whenever he updates it since he probably remembers more of these hands than I do.
At his 5/10 table he played maybe the worse hand of the day - after being away from the table he posts $15 from two off the button. There are a few limpers and he checks his option with J6o. SB shoves for $300 and ket wants to call, but thinks its too much. SB says he doesn't have a pair so ket instacalls, and busts the SB who had AK.
That is the end of day four, and hopefully that made enough sense that people can read it. Its now 4am and after spending 20 mins typing this I realise how drunk I am, and hopefully will wake up in time for the Sunday online tournaments. Ket basically is a HUGE luckbox, and rainkhan is still in the $1500 event with about 170 left which is ITM. He has 33bb so maybe he will win!
