Ok, I'm going down to the Taj this Sunday, planning to make a killing  lol. If anyone from here feels like saying hello, I'll be the student (male) with a Drexel hat (black) and a black leather jacket on my chair. I'll also have a small black book and pencil. Hmm... I'm realizing this thread might be setting me up for someone here...  . I guess I'll take that chance.
Ok things I will be keeping track of in this thread and all future field reports....
Bankroll: $2,560 - Money that I've gotten through saving and winnings from poker. This is my total bankroll for poker and is not "scared" money. Hopefully I'll never have to add on to this initial investment...
Expected Playing Time/Date/Place: 10am to 10pm/ 11/6/05 / Taj Mahal
I like 12 hour sessions because I consider it a long fun(sometimes) day at work, and maybe simply because of my age I have good stamina.
Hourly rate: ??? I will be keeping track of my stack every half hour.
Hands played rate: ??? Again recorded every half hour.
Buy In: $300 - amount taken to table
Stakes and # of players: 5-10 FL #10-assuming...
I'm playing 5-10 because between the rake % and the lotto playing at the 2/4 tables I think this is the best table with my bankroll to play on. I might depending on my mood during and stack switch tables. Suggestions welcome...
Big Wins/Losses: This won't be exact of course since it's live play, but I'll do my best to jot down what was key.
Table Quality: Loose/Tight players, Drunks, Sexy women.... that kind of thing
I'll be recording all of this with my handy dandy black book and pencil. I'm planning to let my image factor into my opponents heads...
I plan to make runs down to AC twice a month in sessions of 12 hours. Depending on winnings/loss that could be shorter. Play will almost always be on Sat/Sun. I consider this and future Trip reports fully open to debate. If you have any serious ideas or suggestions of things to monitor during my play that I've forgotten please bring them up. The only thing that I will not debate about directly is my style of play. I will be open to any suggustions for styles of play and ideas, but for my own longevity in the poker world this will be my one secret...
NOTE TO MODS: If you feel this would be better in the Trips section please feel free to move this post. All future field reports will be posted in whatever section you decide to keep this post.

I have some vacation, so I am taking Monday off and doing a Sunday marathon.
Game-8/16 limit to start, then 15/30 or 30/60 after I have a fat stack
Place-Canterbury ($100k bad beat jackpot on Sundays)
Hours 3pm-3am?
Attire-unknow, but certainly something cheeky
Bankroll-minimal, fully leveraged/cash poor/asset rich American. Not a concern and not scared money because I have serious game.
Pen and Pencil-leave that at home, I will be busy dominating all
Goal-hoping some pros are still around from Saturday's charity tourney and get on a 30/60 table with Marcel Luske, Scottie Nyugen, Mike Saxton, Mike Caro, Amir Vahedi and Mark Seif and make them all my bitch. I will avoid battling Men the Master, he seems like a decent guy.
Note to Mods-Geno likes blokes (Webby-please insert appropriate banana emiticon)

^^ Did I manage to piss you off in a former life? From my first post here you've been the only one who's been attacking me. I didn't claim to be the Worlds Greatest Poker Player or some shi7 like that. If you don't like me then don't read my posts - there problem solved. No reason for you to waste your "precious time" on someone who's posts are apparently just to long for you to read.
Edit: If your pissed because you think my parents or myself are rich (seems to me what you think) your even more deluded than I thought.

I am not pissed off at all. Maybe you missed my attempts at showing my dry sense of humor.
When did I ever attack you? I probably did, I am just wondering how cleaver it was.

Dave B sighting.....
3pm Canterbury like clockwork. He takes a seat at my 4/8 table that I hve been picking apart for the last 4 hours. Play 10 hands before getting his 8/16.
I can see him building a nice stack on the 8/16 and check in on him after cashing out +455 for the day.
Watch a couple hands then Dave B gets 2-3 off in the BB. (I believe he protects them and calls one raise....not sure) Then it gets good. DB pairs the 3 on the flop of something like 3-9-J. Still 4-5 callers in. Calls 2 bets. Gets a set on the turn and check raises with 3 or 4 callers. Rivers a 9 for the boat and keeps one or two callers interested on the river and rakes in a giant pot! This is 8/16 at it's Canterbury Best!
I'm sure DB is well on his way to the 15/30 or 30/60 tonight.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Dave is the man.

Yeah, it was a good night. Finally checked out at 12:30 or so with a nice stack of chips.
BTW, this one was golden.
My K9 suited LP and limp, 6-7 callers. Flop AKK, checked to me, I bet. Turn blank, checked to me, I bet and I am check raised from a blind. Now, since he didnt raise preflop, and he was in the blind, I think I am ahead here, but just call.
River K, he bets out, hmmm, I have quads and someone is betting into me????? I raise, he just calls.
I show, quads, he jumps up screaming, YES YES YES!!!!!!! Turns over his AA and yells $50 GRAND!!!! (100K bad beat on Sunday).
(it took us 10 minutes to explain to him that both my hole cards didnt play and only AK for me would have given him the jackpot. Sweet 1 outer for me!)
