So, with the upcoming large change of moving to the place I’ve always dreamed of living, I have been educated (perhaps beyond my understanding) about the ins and outs of Las Vegas real estate.

I have been scouting for places on and off for four years, aka what seems like forever. However, mostly I would look at cute, modern high-rise condos on the strip. Completely unrealistic for anyone on a “normal person” budget. So I guess I will have to wait until I make it big, so to speak, ...

I surprisingly don't have much to say about it. I got my ass beat, spent time gambling on stupid stuff instead of playing poker, and got quite the tan at the pool.

While I can't complain, I would rate it one of the worst trips out there I've ever been on, luckwise. Not THE worst, but pretty bad.

Got home last night after 2am. Spent the plane ride writing 2 huge blogs - see Adventures in Las Vegas Real Estate for more great reads...and then an absurdly long soul-searching ...

Yea,yea, I said I'd be better at blogging about my trip. But I DO like to mainly keep this blog about poker and to be honest, I haven't had any good runs. In fact, I've hardly had ANY runs, because right now, I'm as broke as an effing joke due to my overzealous sports betting nature.

I have rabidly looked every effing day, hoping that the price would drop, so that I could ...

Sunday night, Dave's live .50/1 game. I had pocket JJ 4 times in about 2 hours. Here is how each went:

(background: I have an extremely loose player sitting just to my right, and another extremely loose player sitting 3 to my right. 7/8 handed table.)

1st: 3rd to act. UTG limps, loose player to my right raises to 3.50. I reraise to 8. Folds around, loose player calls. Flop is 10 10 5. Dream flop for JJ. LP checks, I bet about the pot, she raises me, I reraise all-in, ...
