25k Sin City Blues; Las Vegas, NV
	February 25, 2022 0 Comments
	Real bummer of a trip to Las Vegas this go around.  I came out for the NAPT 25k High-Roller event, which was actually a very cool format.  It was a shootout with 7 tables of 7 players each.  You win your table and you move on, pick up $75k and get to compete for the win.  I even had a table that was on the easier side, comparably that is.  Obviously all these tables were absolute killers.  It was myself, Phil Laak, Justin Bonomo, David Williams, Joe Cassidy, Yevgeny Timoshenko, and Tommy Vedes.  I was pumped and ready to get things rolling...   Sadly for me though, I was never able to get anything going.  I have been on this streak lately of simply never picking up any hands and never making any hands either.  Over the 4.5 hours that I played I picked up four hands: A4 suited, KQ suited, AJ off and 44, once.  I got into one lucky spot when I got Tommy to move into me when I held that A4 on a flop of A72, with him holding 88.  It wasn't to be though, as he took the hand down with a runner-runner flush.  Had I won that hand I would have had some breathing room and had a chance to perhaps start to play.  It seems that I am always operating from a short-stack for quite some time now and it's killing my ability to ever make any moves or be aggressive at all.  I busted 4th out of the 7 and didn't make a dime.  Ugh, something's gotta give before the LAPC starts this weekend.  I'm not one to complain about running bad, but man, it's time to start to reverse all of that as soon as possible...   On a brighter note, "Poker2Nite" returns next week, this time on a new channel, Versus.  I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of network programming, but most people I have spoken with think that this is a very good change, with the only downside being the dispute between Versus and DirecTV, so let's hope somehow that gets ironed out sometime soon.   Gonna head back to LA soon.  This trip just has left a really bad taste in my mouth all the way around...   Holler at you...   peace, J
