Vegas Trip Reports and Poker Room Reviews

With the actual playing of poker pushed firmly to the sidelines, I've decided to blog about how I'm going to do my trip reports when I get to Vegas in three weeks time. First off, each blog containing reports will be headed with the day and date. Eg. "DAY 1: 17th Aug", "DAY 2: 18th Aug", "DAY 3: 19th Aug" etc etc. I know it looks like the diary of a prisoner counting the days in jail but I think that this is a good, practical and methodical way of doing it.

Each day will be divided into sessions. Each session will be headed with: the number of the session; the venue; the game type; the minimum to maximum buy in; my buy-in amount; the time of day I spent at the table; and the time period spent in the poker room. The profit/loss for each session will be clearly stated at the end of the report in either a green font for a profit and a red font for a loss.

Eg.

Session 1 - Mandalay Bay - $1/$2 CASH - $100-$300 - $300 - 10PM-11:30PM (90mins)

Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. 

+$58

Or, for the odd MTT...

Session 8 - Caesar's Palace - $85 Freezout - 10PM-12:10AM (2h 10mins)

Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. Blah blah blah. Twaddle twaddle twaddle. 
-$85

As far as poker room reviews go, this will be a different matter. I've already set out the criteria that I'm going to use for this BUT I want to see all rooms first before I start ranking them. Therefore it may well be a case of writing up my findings when I get back to London.

Regarding presentation, I intend to head each review with the simple title - "ROOM REVIEW: (Insert name of hotel/casino here)" and to then use a nice icon for each with the possible inclusion of a screenshot of the $1 chip that each room uses. I'm not quite sure how to incorporate it yet and I'm not 100% clear about the layout but I'll try to make it all consistent and nice for y'all.

UNTIL NEXT TIME - WHEN I'LL BE WOBBLING ON THE BLOGGLE WITH MY LOAD OF OLD TWADDLE WITH A WIGGLE AND A SHUFFLE AND A BIT OF HUBBLE BUBBLE BUT WITHOUT THE TOIL AND TROUBLE - UNCLE WOBBLE - OH YEAH!
