This blog is being created to document my life. Here I will parse out my daily array of feelings ... You may read about my joy, pain, anxiety, love, frustation, peace of mind, patience or lack thereof, acts of kindness,
acts of goodness, trust, humility, self control, anger, sadness, depression, fears, apathy, pride, hate, forgiveness or lack thereof, resentment, jealousy, worthless thoughts, anxiety, worry, happiness, rejection, hurt, insecurities or lack thereof, shame, doubts, distrusts, guilt or lack of guilt, positive attitudes for the future or hopelessness. Well maybe some of these feelings will pop up from time to time, but mostly I will try to document what is transpiring from day to day.

Never Heard This Before
| |
Monday night I saw a little guy who called a raise pre-flop and then called a pot sized bet on the flop of 5 Q J
On the turn was another 5 and he called again and then on the river a 10 came and again he called.
The aggressive bettor said 2 pair and the little gsaid 1 and a half pair and showed a 5 K ...
"TRIPS" = "1 1/2 pair" I had never heard that before.

Open Comments on new Aria Poker Room
| |
Open Comments To Aria Poker Room manager
I voice some issues on the new room on my blog ...located at http://Mark-Hanna.com/blog.htm
Downsides
... No list phone-ins for locals.. I was told that hotel guests could call from their room... Locals build and start the games.. LOCALS LIKE LIKE CALLING IN TO GET N THE LIST !!!
... No seat change buttons
... No cup holders $8.5 billion and forgot cup holders
... Tables are too tightly packed together just like Bellagio
... It is L O U D - even dealers complain that they can't hearr
... Comp dollars from MGM are not able to be used here ..
... Venecian gives $1.50 per hr comps on 2/5 game Aria $1.00
... No wide variety of food delivery to poker room
... MGM rake takes 4th dollar on $150 ... Aria takes 4th dollar at $80
Upsides
... Very comfortable chairs
... Open to the casino to encourage tourists to walk in
... Restrooms are very, very close to the room
.. I like the Marble bar area to put drinks located between service desk and restrooms ..
... I did see some major "Tourist Tuna" playing in the room
After the newness of this room wears off I predict this room will get simular action as the MGM's room ...

Aria Casino Opens
| |
Well the new Aria casino in the 19 Billion city center project opened tonight at midnight.
My friend Jeff and I left the Venetian poker room at 11:45 PM after we both had booked wins and decided to check out the new poker room. It reminds me of the layout of the MGM poker room. It is open to the casino floor and it is LOUD.
The place is standing room only and almost everyone I know is checking the place out.
Tableside food service is non-existent and one of the TVs is set to the religious channel and a guy who preaching from the bible.
The waitresses are good.

At Times It Is Hard Beat Crazy Gamblers
| |
|
My first hand in November.. I bought into the "must move" 2/5 game for $200 ... I was dealt 4s4d in EP UTG limped and I limped .. 2 more limped and the button raised to $45 . I knew that was a take down move ... The blinds fold and the UTG player called.. The pot had $115 in it and I felt everyone was marginal so I went all-in for 200.. The pot was now $310 The limpers and the button who had tried a $45 take down fold back to the UTG player who called $155 more with 2c3c... The flop came 2d3d8d ... I could still win with any diamond or 4 or 8 .. Turn As ... I now could win with any A as well .. 3 Aces , 3 Eights , 2 Fours , 7 diamonds 15 outs The river was another 3d .. The only diamond I could not win with... That's the beauty of randomness.

Cheryl Hines
| |
|
Last night at the Venetian I had the pleasure of playing poker with Cheryl Hines start of '"Curb Your Enthusiasm" which has been running since 2007
She was in Vegas to see the Cher show at Caesar's which according to her could have been a little better. She has class and sugar coated her disappoint with the show. She is a pretty good poker player and was very pleasant at the table.

Stacked in 2 hands
| |
|
Last night I got stacked the 2nd hand I played.
I found myself with pocket sevens ... and saw a flop with 3 other players while I was was UTG.
The flop came down as 7 8 J and the small blind bet $35 and I raised to $125 everyone folded and the small blind called. The turn was another 8 ... The small blind checked I bet $250 and he check raised all-in and had me covered ... I called and he showed 8 J offsuit for 888 JJ beating my 777 88 ... such is the grind.
