Coming Home

I'm headed home tonight. I ended the week even. It has been rough for me. I had one good day where I was up about $600 and the rest of it has been a struggle. I had two days of bad bad beats that got me back down. Gail and i went out on front street last night and won $236 in 20 minutes on the crap table. It was fun and Gail was really excited as she has always wanted to learn craps. I made a little this morning on craps and then got rivered at the poker table to give it back so I figure I'll pack up and check out. It has been a blast. Counting Girl has made a beleiver out of more than one person. She is the Rio Assassin now and was up another $100 and something this morning so she went to the spa. I'm headed home to put all of her winnings in the bank. See ya soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Outer - I have lots of stories.

Ceasars Black Widow and the Wicked Witch of the Nugget

Too terrible to post about. 2 days of bad beats and I'm about worn out. Just a few minutes ago I get my aces cracked by 95 after a raise. I flop trip threes to see a straight run out after the flop runner runner. And then my AK get beat by runner runner diamonds to send me to the room. UGGGGG. Stop the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!! Counting Girl is still winning. I'm glad someone is.

Rodeo night and Ceasars Bounty

The PBR was awesome. I got some hats and stuff and then we headed to the Hard Rock where we saw Daniel Negraneu. He is one of my favorite players and he was all over the place. We're headed to Ceasars for the Bounty tournament and I'll have an update later on.

One Outer and his enemies

Man have I got into it with some people. Imagine that, you wouldn't ever think that I get into it with people. I'm at the 1/2 today for our morning session and I immediately get into a hand with a guy from Hawaii. He has a wad of money in his pocket, probably around $20,000. No shit, I saw him pull it out before the game and peel off $500 and sit down at my table. I get pocket 10's and he has pre flop raised to $22, his standard bet. We are now playing a 1/2/22 table. He looks at me and I say "shit, with all that money in your pocket that extra $85 isn't shit to you. He says so you want some action huh and but of course you know I do. He calls and I say you have A what? and he turn over AQ. He doesn't hit and I double up. We rock along and I drop some money gathering info on people. Along comes the hand!!!!!!!!! Pre flop raise to $22, call, call call. Soooooooooonnnnnnnn!!! You know I like this situration. I have K4 spades. FRIGGIN CALL BABY!!!!!!!!!!! Flops out J 10 8 with two spades. First guy with the big stack goes all in for $200, next guy calls with $200 and the next guy calls with about $100. SSSSSSSOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! Robert are we talking pot odds and earned value here son. I think so, so I'm all in. First all in guy has Q9 of spades, he has flopped the straight with the flush draw. He is a punk ass kid from Vegas and we end up in a pissing match with me telling him he needs to change out his Chicago Bear hat cause it is bad luck. Next guy has AA, oh my. But neither one is a spade. The last guy had a straight draw. He was dead in the water. I immediately yelled at Gail to holler for 1 spade and she came running over and started yelling spade, spade spade and rubbing my back. SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN, 2 of spades. YIP YIP YIPIE KIE YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! The punk ass kid from Vegas starts squealing and we get into it. He is saying stuff and I'm talking back to him. We go at it and he says you'll be talking about that hand from now on. I tell him taking your money is nothing to brag about, cause your easy and you have a bad hat. Not my fault. Oh shit it is on brother. We go at it for a while and things settle down finally. He says your the kind of tourist we like picking on and I tell him I am a tourist "HERE" and I enjoy picking on the locals. We are up quite a bit for the week and you need to keep on bringing your ass back down here to the Nugget. In fact at this point, Counting Girl and I are up $2,100.
The rodeo is tonight at 6pm. We are headed out in a few. Hopefully I can keep my ass out of trouble tonight but I doubt it. Updates to come.

One Outer

Halloweenie in Vegas!

Man, where to start. It's been a blast. I was getting my ass beat to death at first. Just bad beats and no cards and the works while Counting Girl was killin em. It finally turned around and I went off for $700 yesterday between the poker table and craps. We finally got a good run at the craps table and I won around $200 and Counting Girl won about $100. Back at the poker table at the Nugget I was hitting a few hands and downing the Blue Mountains. Of course I got into a verbal sparing match with a guy from Washington state. He started in about Tech beating Texas and there is nothing I can't stand more than Tech. Soooooooooooooo, we went after it. It degenerated into all kinds of stuff and me telling him "I'll bet you $20 on the game and give you 15 points". He looked kinda stunned but said that he liked a guy that put his money where his mouth was. I told him those infamous words from Winstar, " If you sit there long enough I'll get all the money you have!" He said you don't have long enough to get all the money I have and I laughed and it ended up him coming over and shaking my hand and said that he would see me after the drag races at the Nugget. Damn I hope Texas beats Tech bad. Friggin Blue Mountains. It was halloween and when we were going to the cashier I heard a lady of the night, whore, ho, madamm, piece of ass, whatever tell this guy she was arm in arm with that for $100 she would do everything. Well I'm not sure what everything was but if it included her standing on her head I'm there!
Ok, the poker action is great. Lots of tourists but some good players also. It doesn't take long to figure out who the locals are. They are quite intrigued with us and Counting Girl really has them stumped. They tried everything to get at her and it hasn't worked. At Binions they were planning stratergery on her at my end of the table and it was a good time to leave as she was up $341. They didn't know we were together until I got up and told her it was time to leave.
The check in was something else. I pulled the $20 inbetween the license and credit card trick and it worked. The girl at the counter said " oh my goodness" when I gave it to her and asked for an upgrade. She didn't give the $20 back so I figured it was on. She said the only way she could do it for 5 days is have someone as handicapped. I told her my wife had a bad leg. When Gail walked up I said to her "how is your bad leg" and winked at her. She said it is terrible today. We got the upgrade and it has been a blast. I got into it with a dealer named Pau. She is a tough 26 year old. We were really going at it and she was calling Tony Romo, Tony Homo. It degenerated into her getting relieved and when she walked off she said she was going to get on the PA and say that Kurt likes it in the ass. I said what, where the hell did that come from. As she was walking off she started hollering that Kurt likes it in the ass from across the casino. Shit, that girl is tough. I looked the new dealer and she said "what do you expect, your in Vegas". Damn, tough town. I saw Pau yesterday and we said hi, she is fun, we have a good time together as long as she stays away from my ass!!!!!!!!!!!

One Outer more to come

Rio Assasin strikes again

Too late to update right now but it was a wild day. We are up $1,200 today. Things got better for me, especially when my 5,6 boat beat a straight and flush. It was sweet! I have a ton of stories but it will have to wait. Another poker marathon tomorrow and the rodeo.
