1-2 PLO, 1-3 NLHE, and 2-5 NLHE at Orleans/MGM Grand/Aria

I kinda wanted to keep going around to various casinos in LV as time permitted.

=================
Orleans

1-3 NLHE

4 limpers
hero limps with 87d

flop: 9d6h3d
hero - bets 80% pot
everyone folds

hand 2:
UTG: limps
hero (MP) - raises 6xbb with KK
button calls
limper - reraises
hero - calls
other player - calls

T96 2 spades
UTG (75 bb): bets 50 (about 3/4 pot)
hero (MP, 125 bb): tanks - folds
other player folds

Analysis:
99% of time, a UTG limp-reraise = aces. I could have peeled a street and saw a turn to see if 1) UTG fires 2nd barrel, 2) i *may* decide to bluff a spade (although I may not have much (if any) fold equity against typical 1-2 NLHE player).

-16 bets


I also checked out the Bowling Alley at the Orleans. It's very large (60 lanes)

-----------------------
mgm grand

play seemed to be weak overall
buyins at 2-5 - 100-1k (many buying in for 200)

2:

I wanted to check out the Aria and figure out where stuff was prior to the 8 game mix tournament on Friday.

1-2 PLO Hi
limped AcJc2c6h

checked around 4 ways - i bet 80% pot

I also participated in 2 $50 PLO Hi flips with 5-6 people (a couple people I had met previously at the Wynn's mixed game.) Unfortunately, I'm not a good cash game flipper and lost both...
