Spent my evening up at WinStar last night and while it was mostly uneventful, excluding the very first hand I sat down to play, the trip was slightly profitable.
Prior to ever getting my chips from the cage I was dealt pocket kings and had bet and re-raised all but $26 of my stack when the red and blue clay coins finally made it to my table. My opponent folded on the turn allowing me to start off with about $100 more than when I had sat down after only one hand.
Like I said earlier, the rest of the game was pretty boring from the card’s point of view. I had a good time with the people who were seated around the table, apart from a 15-minute window where two regulars were biding their time until a satellite tournament started by raising and re-raising one another to the point that the rest of us were sidelined as spectators.
I made one bad fold with middle two pair, but it was very early in the night and I was up against two opponents who had called on the river. I was willing to let this one go and save some money in order to have a little extra information and money for later. Had the second player not called and it was heads-up I probably would have called, both because I would have been more confident in my hand and it would have been the only way to see the guy’s hole cards. It turned out both guys were overplaying their top pair.
I ended up winning $60 for the evening after playing for five-and-a-half hours. This equates to $10.91 an hour. For 2011, I have won $580 and made an hourly rate of $16.69 after playing for nearly 35 hours total.
On a side note, I saw this story today on MSN.com about the upcoming demolition of a brand new hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. If you are interested, this link will take you to the article.
