Is there a more exciting city than Las Vegas? You can never be bored in Vegas that's for sure. Well I have a funny story from the weekend here in Vegas. I head down to the Bellagio on Saturday to place my wagers on the Elite 8 Games and to play poker while I watch the Games. I'm going to be meeting RJ Bell and Vegas Runner later for dinner so I'm there early to play some cards.

The Missouri/Connecticut game just ends and my phone starts ringing I see it's VR and I'm going to answer the phone but the dealer is just starting to deal out the next hand. I answer the phone as I'm waving to the dealer not to deal me in but the dealer doesn't see me and deals me in anyway so I peek at my cards as I'm starting to get up from the table and what do I have but pocket Aces. Now I sit back down and raise knowing that anyone who was paying attention knows I must have a big hand and I'm not going to get paid off here. Somehow 2 people call, I tell VR to hold on as I set the phone down to play.

On the flop nothing 9 high I lead out like I'm making a continuation bet just like I would if I had AK preflop and Both players call the bet. On the turn I step up the Bet betting 2/3 of the pot. One guy folds the other guy calls. On the river comes a King and I figure the guy is going to be done with the hand if he is putting me on AK but I throw out a value bet of $100 on the River. Guy is taking forever to decide and VR is still waiting on the phone when I get a bright idea I pick up the phone and tell VR you still there hold on I'm about to win a Big Hand.... The guy looks right at me and calls the bet as he thought I was trying to get him to fold by saying I had a Big Hand on the Phone. The guy just shook his head as I turned over the Pocket Aces... VR gets the phone assist....

You got to Love Vegas!!
