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)
