Noticed $100 had been shipped to my Stars account this morning, Amatay lost the bet on whether he could make $10k this month playing SNGs on Full Tilt. He kind of underestimated the difficulty of the task, I'm pretty sure he took off the first day of the challenge and went out drinking lol. I think he would have needed to play about 1,000 SNGs AND run well to win the bet. Unlucky you lazy fishay.
Headed in to Caesars Palace yesterday to play cash games and did well despite only getting a few hours sleep the night before. Seeing as drinks are basically free while playing I decided to start working my way through their drinks menu. I recommend the Chocolate Julius, tastes like the fakest chocolate ever but is very delicous.
So yea, booked like $420 there, shippp. Then went across to Venetian to meet up with Pete/Dan and had some noodles. All 3 of us ended up getting in a $1-2nl cash game and drinking coronas and shots throughout, was pretty much carnage and a lot of fun. We didn't leave 'til after 5am I think and I was reeeally tired and pretty frustrated after losing most of the money I'd spent that day making! Lesson learned, don't drink and play or play tired. if I'm going to drink play $2 blackjack or something instead. Although I did run pretty bad that session, but whatever. Was really frustrating worked hard at Caesars booking a good win then jizzing it away. Grrr!
Took a bunch of pictures around the Venetian and some of the strip...

Today was pretty lazy, slept 'til like 2 then lay in bed watching the Mask of Zorro :P Got up at like 5 and headed into the Rio, played a short cash session and ran pretty poorly, the table wasn't great either. So I quit and left after a few hours. The $50k horse event was on which was pretty cool to rail for a bit, and the $5k 6-max too. Awesome fields. Isabelle Mercier is sooooo hot in real life. Had a burger from In n Out which was sweet.Gonna get my grind on at the Rio or Caesars tomorrow. My aim is to get back to breakeven for the trip by the end of the weekend and play the last $1,500 WSOP event which is on Monday. If I'm playing it I'll be selling half of my action at face value, will post about that over the weekend.
Kind of concerned that almost half of the trip has gone and I've not done a lot of the touristy shit I was aiming to do. Really need to hook up some of the following...
- Shooting guns
- Spearmint Rhino
- Rollercoaster at NY NY
- Stratosphere
- Shopping at outlet mall
- Cirque de Solie show
- Penn and Teller
- UFC 86
- Rancid gig at the House of Blues
- Play at Bellagio and Wynn
- Euro 2008 final
Damn I've played 76 hours of poker since arriving here just 11 days ago, pretty sick. :)
