First day I dropped about USD 4000 in one night. I am like, here we go again. The next day I clawed back a bit. And finally I had a great session and you big fish fed me yummy sashimi! These guys were calling a "flush" as "same color" and two pairs as "dubs". Immediately I knew they were for the taking.
First hand I literally just sat down. I had 33 on cut off. Someone opened, 3 callers, I called, the two fish called. Flop was 1063. Everyone checked, fish #1 leads out a small bet, 2 callers (apparently many people knew they were fishes too), I just called. Turn was an 8 plus a flush draw. Another player opened this time. Could he have 79? Maybe but I was not going to fold my straight. I played it snug and just called again, and fish reraises. The guy folded so I am very happy about that. I went for another reraise so that I can get it all in on the river. He calls. River another 8. I got my boat. I jammed and he called. Chaching, USD 2.4k pot.
Couple of hands after, I had T9 of clubs. Flop comes 653 three clubs! Guy opens, another guy raises, I was worried I was drawing dead but I just flat. Fish flats. Turn is a blank. Guy checks, I bet, fish calls, guy folds. River was a blank King. I thought to myself what kind of value can I get? I am hoping this guy had a King high flush draw and hit his king. I bet and he did have a king and called. He had K2 with a club.
I continued to run good and went on to recover all my losses from the day before, and that night won another few K to make it a good trip! Stayed at the Grand Lapa hotel. It is one of the older hotels in Macau but it has been refurbished. A bit out of the way from the city but it has a really nice resort area with pools and stuff. Loved it. Nice buffet dinner too. Would recommend this hotel.
Overall a pretty nice trip. Great getaway and a good result. Dropped back a bit when I couldn't resist some table games, but I was happy with the result at the end.
