Vegas - Big Blind Special

Wandered down to the poker room at 8am this morning but there was no cash game going so had to enter the $60 tournament. I was down to 250 chips at the 200-400 level at one point, but managed to spin back up to 5k before knocking myself stealing the rock’s BB from the SB with 84off and running into AJ.

As a result of that I only was able to play one hour at the cash table before the Spa, but a very productive hour it was, with a $520 profit.

Key Hand:
I am up to $400 from $300 start and the button is playing about $300ish. 6 limpers so I check my BB with 36off.

Flop is 3c6hKc I bet $10 and button calls.

Turn is a 6d to give me the house.

I bet $20 and button calls.

River is the golden money card - 5 clubs bringing home the flush. I’m fairly sure this is what he has been drawing at, so I bet $55.

He raises to $140, which I ponder for effect, before shoving for my $400. He calls with the Jack flush to rake me a big pot.

Can’t enter the TI tournament tonight as it will clash with 10pm dinner at Aquaknox, so I’m going to play cash at the Mirage across the road I think, as Nit says it’s a nice place to play.

Aiming to play the Caesars $225 tomorrow though, as you get 15k starting stack, although with their usual fast blinds.
