The strip, the heat and more poker?

Let me start by saying my blog thingy isnt letting me reply to comments but i appreciate reading them, thanks.

So we had a great first day, just wandering the strip and checking out the casinos. We left at 10:30am and just walked until gone 5pm, the strip is huge. Most enjoyable, just having banter and laughing all the way round. Id say the venetian is teh most impressive casino, absolutely johnny mintos inside. Had a radical lunch consisting of a burger wrapped inside an onion ring. It was FEROCIOUS! Some of the shops are awesome, and i had the best margherita (sp?) at the venetian. Blackcurrent with loads of tequila - sweet! We debated a romantic gondola ride at length, deciding it would not be appropriate. Maybe when we are drunk eh!

Its extremely hot here btw. Sorry. Just sayin :-P

We picked up some supplies and headed back to the room for beer and music to just chill and watch the sunset, before heading down the poker room at about 7:30. The plan was to play for a bit here before dinner and then moving on to another card room. Instead we played through to 6am! Lol. Was just hard to leave, so many droolers :-D

After about 5 mins of playing kev had built another wall of chips, guy is seriously crushing it over here. I managed to drop another buy in when my 2 pair failed to hold against a flush draw, all in on the flop. I also had to watch in horror as i made a good disciplined fold with ak against a guy who was clearly super strong and ended up showing down queens. The window card was obv the ace and some fish next to me lost his stack with QJo. All in pre. Notsureifserious.gif

I took a walk to clear my head a little and came back to reload and proceeded to start crushing immediately. Hitting sets and making boats became standard and i was soon back to level par for the trip. I had a fun table last night and really enjoyed it too, and the time just flew. This drunk guy was giving nick names to everyone and started calling me right said fred! Lol. He also randomly started calling this black dude carlton, which was slightly racial but he took it well. When the table broke i managed to go sit at kevs table to watch the phenom in action first hand. I think one guy actually left the table because of his intimidating stack of chips! We cashed out not too long after an headed upstairs for a well earned 4hrs rest....

Anyways, its saturday so we are going to go get some breakfast and hit the felt.
