Here's the trip report for this very long period:
I woke up around 9:45am and did morning stuff till I called yanks at 10:00am to make sure he was awake and would remember to come get me to play the deepstack venetian. I then messed around for a while trying to get ITH and my internet connection in particularly to work, I also wanted to download Princess Bride while I was gone but it was really messed up so I gave up. Yanks came by at 11:10am and we were off to the venetian.
We got there at like 11:20am and went to the poker room the tournament wasn't starting for another 40 minutes so we decided to go play some BJ. We sat down at one with 2 people already playing. By the time we bought in which took some time as we were getting scanned in and I was making an entry to remember how much I bought in for. The other people were scared off by this display of superior record keeping so it was just yanks myself and the dealer. The dealer thought he was clever that he figured out that I was staying at the Rio since I was using a Rio pen . . . until I told him how he figured it out. Regardless, we were playing $15 a hand while the dealer was regaling us with his dream of getting a 2nd job dealing so he could build a BR to play poker. He had some strange notions but at least he actually knew BJ strategy and would basically make some decisions for me since I was clueless. One great hand that came up was where dealer had a 5 and I got 88 and split and got an 8 and split and got an 8 and after everything was said and done I lost $17.50 - my original bet. Anyway, as time came we went to go play the MTT.
I sat down to the MTT and didn't feel overly comfortable just cause it was a bit of a new environment and we were outside the actual poker room. The feel and weight of Venetians turney chips are awesome . . . the downside is that it's very hard to tell the color of the chips from the sides cause they have this really gay "this is a tournament chip" written twice with a white background across 2/3 of the chips side.
Anyway, the tournament didn't start off great and at the first break I was at like 9k or so (12k starting stack) while yanks was at 25k. I had one dealer who bummed me out cause I realized that this guy had literally no purpose to being alive outside of dealing (a discussion about this happened about 15 hours later). His name was Carl and he looked like http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001484/ . The other interesting thing that happened was this guy who is half asshole half dick half alright was sat to my left. I've played with him in event 2 and at 5/10 cash and literally see him everywhere I go. And he's got a hot-ass asian girlfriend but that's about it. Anyway eventually I busted at like 4 or 5pm right after yanks and we went to his place.
At his place I was impressed by his 30" monitor and actually had some cereal . . . it was Total with actual whole milk I think. We watched some baseball highlights then drove to the Rio.
At the Rio I sat down and played 2/5NL. I played about 3 orbits playing maybe 1 or 2 hands. I got bored and posted on the BTN. 3 people limped and I looked down at A5o - OK enough for me to raise to $50. Everyone folded except MP who looked like an internet player with his gay sunglasses. Flop comes down K64r MP checks and I bet $60, he c/r to $200 and I go AI for another $271 he calls with AT and wins when turn and river are T/6. Basically, I think we both played it fine for how it played out. Anyway after 2 more orbits I asked for a seat change - mostly because I felt like there was a good chance I'd get involved with a huge pot again with that guy and overthink it (I'm liable to do that sometimes) and since I wasn't playing to improve my game but to hopefully make $$ I felt it was the more +ev move.
I got to this table with husband and wife. The wife was apparently playing $100 at a time while her husband would give random advice . . . only problem was the husband sucked. At first, I thought the guy was just hitting on her (badly) but then realized that they were probably married. After they left, Paul Magriel the 'quack quack' dude sat down. I played with him for a while, he was playing really tight mostly just wasting time while Zolotov was playing the WSOP I think. He raised twice in about 6 orbits and I popped him both times (once with AK and once with KK) I really thought that he'd overthink it a bit and play me when I had the KK but he folded both.
There was also this reeeaally bad old guy at the table who literally looked like he was dying. He was more or less a really bad SLAP player if that makes any sense. He did everything a lot but most of it wrong. Anyway our table broke up and I moved to a game going on.
This game had a very interesting composition. Basically, in seat 3 was a really tilted asian dude who had just bubbled the wsop mtt. In seat 4 was this 21 yo kid from Cali who was a total dick to everyone and couldn't shut up . . . all he talked about was gayness, dick size, and just insulting everyone who came by but he wasn't good at poker. Next to him was a very drunk ski instructor from Aspen who apparently had just cheated on his wife the night before. Then there was an older guy who was ultra tight trying to trap the tilted asian dude. Then me and a couple of random guys behind me.
I basically got really shitty cards and did nothing forever. Eventually, Seat 3 moved to seat 2 and this huge Trucker dude sat down in his spot. 21yo Asshat kept telling this guy who was 3x his size how fat he was, meanwhile to my left sat down a filipino kid in seat 9 who was 26 and a middle-aged bald Israeli guy who I guess thought he was the shit as most Israelis think the are in seat 8. The first hand that the Israeli guy played the filipino kid put him to a decision on the turn or something and he was saying stuff in Hebrew so I asked him if that was hebrew cause I wasn't sure. This dude flipped out and started cursing me out in Hebrew, while the guy to my right called clock and floor came over and this guy basically took the entire minute to curse me out until they called his hand dead. Overall it was a really retarded table and I played till 1:55pm. I was up till 1:30pm by like $400 and then lost 3 hands in a row (I had decided to quit at 2pm before then). So it really sucked.
