Playing 50cent1dollar nlh at excalibur. Interesting electronic action. 3 tables going, but 1 of them is filled with people who make them

Phil hellmuth just arrived. We’re supposed to be excited. (and the true fan fans actually are.) one dude scalping vip seats outside.
Just voted … Wearing a partypoker shirt. Lady checking me in says, “i play at full tilt,” with a wink.
At bellagio now. Men the master has pants embroidered with “men the master” … On both legs
Ok, no more blogging. Kinda fun, but im most interested in bar codes on cards, and true oval shaped table. Meet me after for a drink?
Owner of venetian is here, so is dennis phillips. Jill st. John too. And robert wagner. Tim conway and bob newhart.
Bob newhart says he is here so people know hes not dead. Don johnson, too. Funny. Vinny favorito making dead doyle brunson jokes
Who’s here: wsop execs, pros, hotties, businessmen with money to invest, friends of poker players, and not tom.
At the real deal premiere at venetian. Tom was supposed to be my date, but he stood me up. He’s too cool to actually have fun with poker
Mayor oscar goodman playing at the hard rock right now. Not sure who else is there other than some strip club execs. Fascinating, i know.
Mc 1-2, 2.5, 200, 1, 0, 2
Crap. I knew better. Played well until the end when i lost all my chips.
Har nola 1-2, 4.5, 360, 2, 447, 13
Made friends with ace-cracker, but dealer left me on tilt. (take your tip and like it, a-wad!)
What to do: ace-cracker got me 3 times. (once on me for missing a bet.) so now worst player on table has all chips; im on his left but tilting
Question: what’s the point of chopping blinds in a time-charge game? (you know, since there is no rake.)
Not proud of self: just taunted dude who cracked my AA (w KK) a few hands later when he slow-rolled his two pair only to get counterfeited.haha
Starting a new table. Damn. Two of the three dudes asking whats better - straight or flush - had to leave bc didnt have $60 min buy in
Poker sure aint dead in nola. 16 full tables with 10+ on 1-2 and 2-5 waiting lists. 9 player interest for 5-10.
Harrahs n.o. 1-2, 3, 200, 1, 188, 13
Sigh. Shoulda left earlier. Old lady calling-bitch took most via river. Pardon my creole.
New kinda player i’ve never seen before: petite young asian girl with a thick, aggressive cajun accent. Evy ng meets james carville. Dangerous?
Another funky thing about nola: chip-running security guards carry guns. (i’m making so many tough folds tonight, btw.)
Harrahs nola 1-2, 2, 260, 2, 0, 0 …. Grrr. Money is on the table for the taking, but dont have the stomach to rebuy and grind all night.
Harrahs new orleans: looks like the orleans and rio lovechild. Odd that they take a time charge in lieu of rake in 1-2 nl. “lieu” is french.
The biggest problem with pokertek automated tables … No dealer to put a stop to table talk. Suppose good floorman could solve that.
Tulsa and goldfarb tell me i worry too much about “results”. The WPT boot camp slogan: real people. Real training. Real results.
At clonie’s mini boot camp. She’s teaching me and 60 others not to play 8-2 offsuit in early position to a reraise. Priceless info.
OTG at IAH - feels good to be back in Texas, albeit just for a few hours. (otg = on the ground)
Just stopped in at hard rock to play instead of work. Zero players. So am headed back home to write about hrh instead.
Running bad is when you get all in with AK vs A4 on flop of A-5-7, & u just know u will lose, not to a 4, but 2-3. Turn 6 river 3
