Vegas Report

Just a quick report for anyone checking this out... Wife and I just flew in from Vegas, what a week! Poker wise I played in 4 Multi Table Tournaments, small $65 Buy Ins, made the the Final Table in one of the four. As I've been playing online the last year, it was refreshing to sit in front of people again, I am "Ready" for the WPT. First MTT no glasses, next three I was "Shaded" with my Foster Grants and I learned a few new things which I'll keep to myself for now.

Last night, er, Friday Night, I purposely got drunk on Captain Morgans and Cokes (and some Fat Tuesdays Hurricanes) and then went down to a 3/6 Limit game to see if I would be quickly relieved of my bankroll or not. I am happy to report I walked away 3 hours later with $300 so I was able to play cards while running my mouth at the table. It was ALOT of fun and very entertaining! My concern was that "if" I could truly play cards I should be able to play even if drunk. Don't worry, you WON'T see me drinking during the WPT! I only drink on vacation (which is what last week was) and major social events. I am looking at the WPT as "work" and am going to give it my absolute BEST!

Wednesday Morning I had the fortune of walking up to a 1/2 No Limit Game at the MGM and sitting before was indeed Chris Moneymaker! What a truly 'nice' guy he is. I wish I had been able to get into the table and action however the other nine people there were glued to their seats. I heard he started around 6am and I witnessed him leaving around 10:30 am'ish. He had on a Polo that said "Moneymaker Gaming" <--- what is this? I went and checked out the new "Wynn" Casino... WOW! I love that place except the Poker Room is REALLY crowded. You could just about play two live tables from one seat. Ok, time for bed and in less than 12 hours I will be heading to the Borgata! Just you wait to see my NEXT Blog Entry! (SNICKER)

Peace!
