Had a remarkable session at the Venetian on Tuesday. It was remarkable because I literally did not make a single hand, but still walked away a $200 winner.
It was simple small pot, late position poker at a weak table. Almost every hand was opened for a small $6-$8 raise with extremely rare re-raises. Lots of pots were checked around until some weak bet on the river took a small pot.
So about every couple of orbits my late position action was:
Several limps, a small raise to $8, two callers including me holding something like 8d9d.
Dry board on the Flop. Raiser C-bets $10. I call and everybody else folds.
On the blank Turn the Raiser checks. I bet $30. Fold and stack.
Rinse and repeat.
I did get 99 one time. Missed a set but there was no action. I won one hand with 84off.
On one hand there was a raise/re-raise and I tossed my Ts9s. Would have made a flush vs the AA/KK war, but still. It is amazing, but I can't remember a single hand that I had to show. I either folded or dropped a chip on the cards for the tip as I slid them to the dealer. Really, not one show in about four hours.
So it was a nice and safe win. It was boring as hell, but I'll take boring/profitable anytime.

Rake Reduction at the Venetian
I am always into good deals and right now one of my favorite Las Vegas poker rooms is having a good one. The Venetian poker room is having a $2 cap on rake until May 24. So you can play relatively cheap. Plus they are still giving $2/hour in comps for play. You'll have to work hard to beat that.
