In Vegas, and finally found some time to blog. I am sitting in my hotel room at the Bellagio over looking the Rio pondering what may be today. Julie and I got a room upgrade to a suite with whirlpool tub as the hotel made a mistake and sent her into a room that was already taken. She walked in on the people, and they were none too pleased, obviously...but I digress
I am waiting to play in the $1500.00 6 handed tournament today in the WSOP. I am sitting at a table right next to my buddy Lets Poker Martin. We are going to give them hell today. I am running real good now and I was able to bring my "A" game to Binion's yesterday to play in their 6 handed tournament in the "Binion's Poker Classic". I think they pulled in around 250 people for the event. Davey and Parfait played. The buy-in was $150.00. I took down 3rd place for a cool $4300.00.
One hand to note, I am on the button with about 3 tables left when i look down at AKs. There is a raise of all in from a player that I have barely covered. Guy to my right calls and he has about half of that. Wow...what a decision. I go in the tank for about 2 minutes. I figure I am getting about 3 1/2 to 1. Finally, I announce, "Well, to win one of these things you have to win coin flips sooner or later...I call". We turn up our cards and we all have AK...but mine is suited in spades. At that point, one of them says, "Ah man...the spades are coming I can feel it"...guy doomed them both. It was beautiful to see those 3 spades hit the board.
Have to get in the shower...I will try to post more later.

u leaving Vegas tommorow
I guess you really like steak BB. I figured you were a mans man. Your a Pokersaurus Rex. Eat, hunt ,and mate. I like it , we should hang in Vegas and tear it up and maybe snatch a bracelet or two.
I just recently played At the Cherokee in Oklahoma( what a dump) and took 2nd in a little $ 300 buy in. Cashed for $5500 but had to give up 20% cause I reluctantly agreed to swap percentages with another player. Everytime I do a deal with that guy he busts out early and I pull thru with a cash. Im pissed cause we never went as high as 20% before. Stupid me. Word to the wise, Dont do deals unless they are fronting you the buy in. Hope GeneD got to keep all his cabbage.
