Decided to take part in the 11 AM poker tournament, which would be my first time playing poker live.  Few hands of note.  Early on was dealt KQx which paired the king on the flop.  Bet T200, and the gentleman a few seats to my left went all in.  I called him and he flipped over KJx.  No jack on the flop or turn and I doubled up off of him.

Few hands later I was dealt KK, and flopped a set.  I forget the exact specifics but I flopped a set and doubled up off of another player.  Two hands after that I was dealt another KK.  No king on the flop, river, or turn, but the board showed a pair of twos.  Took about T1000 from one caller who thought I had the 2.  The rest of the tournament was uneventful for me.  Wasn’t really dealt anything useful, and the blinds whittled me down and I went out shortly before the final table (70 entries).

Took a short nap and went back down to the casino.  Sat down at a roulette table with $60 and hit my 15.  I stood up 30 minutes later and doubled my money.  Moved over to blackjack, and I more than doubled my $120.  I used some of my winnings for the 7 PM tournament.  In this tourney I kept getting garbage hands after garbage.  I was dealt AA though, but no callers to my small pre-flop raise made it useless.  I had less than T1000 at the break, and was planning on going all in with anything decent.  Another AA shortly after the break was over, this time I had a few callers but since my stack was so low the pot wasn’t too much.  Flopped a set and got to live for another orbit.  Few hands later I went all in with KJs.  One caller and paired the jack which stood up.  Few hands later another KJx.  Three others went all in, and the lady who flopped a set of 5s took the pot, and I was out.  Not sure how many people were left at that point.

Played a bit more blackjack and lost $100 before returning to the room for the night.  Planning on playing more blackjack and doing better in both tournaments for the next day.  Will keep you posted.
