                    Jay, $2700 and you can survive and eventually thrive. All you can eat buffets and cheap flea bag hotels are your friend. Stick to low variance +EV gambling and you'll never have to leave. If you go bust find a hoe and keep your pimp hand strong. GL

                          I sent the points to everyone who posted.
                          I figure we're Pro so, you can re-distribute them as you see fit. Rocket however, is too cheap to go Pro so it would take him much longer to ship his points to Vegas so I sent the points to Vegas for him.

                          Kindred, that's funny $H|T.
                          RM18, I will be working on Comps daily, LVH is an option but when you're on foot, it can be a far walk.

                          Hippo, I hate to be a dick but, where's that pretty little thing we saw in the Vegas Video getting what she needs now?

                                  GL, I still have a hard time understanding why you'd give up access to some of the world's greatest books (if memory serves, you're Canadian) and head to Vegas, where it's much more difficult to line-shop, you have a lot of expenditures, and you are away from your family--unless that's one of the motivations for going to Vegas. Are you planning on creating a bunch of mobile wagering accounts to help save travel time?

                                    Thanks Element. I had never thought about using mobile accounts while I am there. But it makes sense to be able to line shop.

                                      Might have jumped the gun a little with the $2,700 post. I did manage to win $2,700.00 at that point but, sadly I don't have anyone (like my Father) willing to flip the bill for my flight to Vegas with their air miles rewards plan. So, I need to win another $400-$450 for the flight.
                                      In trying to do so, I have lost just over $100.
                                      Whenever I need to return to wrok to earn money, 100% of my salary goes towards the paments on my house & related bills. The only source of revenue I have for my Vegas trips comes from gambling winnings.
                                      Let's focus on providing Jayvegas with some winners this week so, I can get back sooner than later.
                                      Thanx for following.
                                      Jay

                                        I will be in Vegas from the last week in June until the middle of July. I will be posting a trip report , for those who are interested. I will be bringing the usual $2,700.00 & staying in my usual room for $149 per week. I generally grind the $1-$2 poker tables & sprinkle a little in the sports book everyday. This tactic hasn't been all that bad for me in the past but it also hasn't proven itself very lucrative.

                                        So, this time I am adding a few new twists to the trip. I will be playing in at least two premium tournaments & will be laying large unit sports bets.

                                        I intend to play in the Phamous Poker Series at Planet Hollywood. If I am up $500 by July 5th I will enter the feature presentation for $560 (for a quarter million guaranteed). If I am not up $500 I will register in the $100 series event ($25,000.00 guaranteed). I will be saving $600, regardless of my progress, to play in the Aria Classic. If I happen to have any money left I want to run in the Wynn Summer Classic.

                                        A little background: I work two jobs. I work for a small subsidiary of West Corp. & I clean medical & dental offices for a friend who owns a professional cleaning company, "Bin There Dust That".
                                        I have been gambling for 36 years, I've been playing Holdem consistently for 18 years & I have been wagering with offshore books since 1989.
                                        I am not a winning gambler.
                                        I like to mark my fiscal gambling year on March 30th, or as close the NCAA Championship as possible. I've seen years where I have profited $1,000 or $2,000 but generally I find myself down $3,000 or $4,000 after March Madness is over. I have lost as much as $25,000.00 in a year & I once wagered more than $6,000 in one weekend. It's relatively easy for me to keep track of my overall wins and losses. I can explain this further in the " Why I'm doing this" section below. I am an unproven poker player & this will be my 1st time playing against players of this caliber. I feel that after nearly 20 years my game is about where I want it to be. I am playing a lot less online poker and focusing on Honing my skills at live games. I try to focus more on line movements and beating the closing line when I bet sports. I don't have a favorite team. My favorite team is whoever won me the most money last week.

                                        Why am I doing this? Some people who know me well might try to tell you that I continue to do this because I have a terrible work ethic. Some of these people might be right. But, what I do when I'm on these trips I consider work. Hard work in fact. My wife works two jobs as well, her jobs however demand a much higher skill set then I could ever hope to have. Consequently my wife makes a substantial amount more than me. I am only able to make these trips because I found a beautiful woman who loves me and trusts me. My daughter also works at a fast food chain. We have 5 incomes & still barely find a way to make ends meet every month. Every dime of income I receive from my 2 jobs goes to my wife to pay for mortgage, insurance, heat, hydro, utilities, property taxes, car payment, car insurance, car plates, car sticker, car fuel, cellular bills, cable bills, phone bills, student loan bilss & we still haven't eaten yet.
                                        I continue to travel to Vegas, looking for the big score so that my family won't have to work anymore.

                                        What can you expect to see in this trip report? You can expect to see short videos & pics of the trip. I will try to post shots of my chip stacks (chip porn) & some hand histories. I'll have sports book ticket shots & race book tickets.
                                        Don't expect to see lavish culinary dishes, expect to see fry boxes & burger wrappers.
                                        Ill try to get footage from the Aria Classic & Phamous Poker series.
                                        I won't have the time or the money to post pictures of golf courses or rollercoasters & I won't be showing you The Hoover Dam. Don't expect shout outs or site specific references . I will posting trip updates across 4 different forms & I don't want any sites claiming I am trying to dedirect traffic from one site to another.
                                        I do Vegas as cheap as I can & try to give myself the best shot at maximizing profits. I barely sleep & I'm up at the crack of dawn most days ready to drink & play the best poker I know how to play. I dont waste money on expensive meals, clothes or alcohol. I dont take cabs or busses, I walk eveywhere I go. I even walk to & from McCarran. Being from Canada, I love the Vegas heat.
                                        I try to dedicate 90% of my bankroll to gambling. I know my limits when I'm drinking & I don't use drugs when I'm in the States. I don't break any laws when I'm in Vegas. Too many guns, too many metro & Clark County looks like the las t place I want to spend the night!

                                        Hope you enjoy

                                          Staying for 10 days and taking $10,000. 6 months $2700 would bary cover the rent at a crack house.

                                              You are honest to admit you have lost 25K in one year and are trying to make that life changing score. Most likely it's a pipe dream, but Good luck. Will be sure to check out this thread.

                                                  This. You're admitting to barely being able to make ends meet and you're leaving your family to go lose money in Vegas...wtf dude? Use that money to pay off debt and forget about gambling. You talk about poker like you're training for the WPT or some shit. You're going to be playing 1/2 with tourists and donkeys who don't give a shit about donking off $200 when that's damn near 7.5% of your roll. This can't even be considered "taking a shot." You will lose all your money and you're not even living it up, you will be living like a hobo. Throw some money on Stars and offshore and spot bet. You get to stay at home and be a husband and wife and you're not out any expenses. You will lose all of this money. Take care of your family.

                                                          Thanks for the advice fellas but, I've got a really good feeling this is time. $2,700 could go a long way towards helping to pay for bills but, I can make that in 3 weeks if I return with nothing.
                                                          I can win it in 4 hours if I catch a hot run of cards.

                                                          UTEOT....if I can stay in the the black I hope to play in the feature presentation as well.

                                                            Jay thinks he can win $2700 in 4 hours playing 1/2 NL.....

                                                            I hope to god you actually go and recreate this thread.
