Just got back yesterday from Vegas. My staff and I had a great time, I won money, I had great food, had great drinks, I did not sleep much and best of all, I licked a Playboy Bunny........in Blackjack at the Playboy Club. :)
I played in a 91 man tourney at Ceasar's Tuesday night. It was a $60 Buyin with no rebuys. It started at 11pm, and I walked out at 4:30 am. I made the Final table and finished in 8th place. The blinds were 1500-3000, and I had 10k left when I got AJ in the sm blind. I went all in, hoping to either steal from the limper and the BB, but the limper called with AQ and that was the end of my tourney. The payout was $200, so not much for over 5 hrs of work, but since my best hand all night was only 2 pair, I was proud of my finish.
I played cash games at Bellagio and The Palms. Both times I bought in for $500 and played 2-5 no limit. Lost $50 at Bellagio playing about 1 1/2 hrs, but after losing $250 in one hand when I flopped a set of 10s, and lost on suckout flush draw on river, I felt pretty good.
At the Palms, I cashed out for $850(played 2 hrs), so all in all, the poker was a success.
I taught a few of my girls how to play Blackjck and Craps, and we all won money and had a great time doing so.
If you guys ever get the chance to see Danny Gans at the Mirage, go do it. It was the best show I have ever seen in Vegas by far. The guys is truly amazing.
Went to see Penn and Teller at our Hotel on Wednesday night, and enjoyed that show too.
I bet on San Antonio against the Bucks and alas, I jinxed them into stopping their streak.
:depressed
I bet on Aggies -13 1/2 and won that one, but it looked like a loss for sure after Penn took a 2 pt lead in 2nd half.
Anyway, it is good to be back home and now I can sleep for more than 3 hrs a night. :)
