Quick Vegas Update 5

By Ed Brayton

My run at poker continues. After meeting with another reader for dinner, I hit the poker room for my second session of the day. Started out playing 1/2 no limit but got on the interest list for a 2/5 game. Had a bad run at the 1/2 table, losing about $180 in about an hour. That's when they got the 2/5 game going, so I moved to that table and bought in for another $400 on top of the $120 I had left.

It was a pretty slow table for the first hour or so, then we got some new players and things picked up. Over the next 4 hours or so I built my stack steadily, cashing out for $1291. Since I bought in for $700 total, the profit was $591. I was actually a couple hundred higher than that at one point, but I gave some back at the end before going to grab a bite to eat.
