Shuffle up and deal!

So we got out of town at about 4pm. We got to the casino about 9ish. We checked in and I went right to poker. Figured I'd start with some 3/6 hold'em. Wow these people are horrid. That said, I lost a couple of pots and decided to move to no limit. Originally it was a good idea since I ran my stack up from 120 to 350ish in about 30 minutes. I now have a greater understanding of the word "producer" when it comes to poker. There was this drunk guy that was a total asshole. Luckily he was also very bad at poker. I mean fucking terrible. So bad in fact, that when he finally lost all his money I considered leaving the game. But his buddies were still there and they were also bad. But I got it all in with KK against - go ahead, guess - yep, AA and lost it all.
I then took a break and visited the Evil Dcotor. I convinced him to do a Jager Bomb (I wasn't going to drink it) but they didn't have Red Bull. I would have paid handsomely to see that.

Then I went back to the game. Got a nice stack. Was thinking about leaving at 3 am considering how fucking drunk I was. Free whiskey makes Head LOOOOOOAAAAADDDDDEEEEDDDD. Probably should have. About 5am I managed to squint through the alcoholic haze and saw AA. Ran into 22 which isn't a problem until a 3rd 2 comes. Idiot. Rebuy and get a little of it back.

Finally go to bed. Wake up at 8:30, grab a buffet, and back to the game. Couple of beers and I'm good. Even on the day after 2 hours and they say there's a $105 tournament about to start. Well, why not? Rough time. I was starting to feel the effects of the previous night. Some guy was smoking next to me and I really thought I was going to vomit right there on the table. After busting out I went and took a nap. Woke up, had dinner with ED. And went back to the no limit game. First hand I lost $50. I said fuck this and went to 3/6. While waiting, my head was pounding, pounding, oh God why doesn't it stop pounding? I could not find asprin anywhere. Finally I gave on of the waitstaff $5 to find me some asprin. That helped, and I made the brilliant decision to switch to highballs instead of straight whiskey. With several of those under my belt my headache was gone and I proceeded to completely crush that game and win quite a bit.

I'm amazed I won considering that my brain wasn't working too well. One hand I looked at one card, a Q, and then the other card, a Q and got excited. Well turns out I looked at the same card twice. Everyone got a kick out of that one.

I was thinking that it was about 9pm. I thought that I had a good session and I'll go watch a movie or something. I asked the guy next to me what time it was. He said 10 minutes 'til 1. What??? I figured it's really time to go.

So, after room, board, and other expenses I spent $200, so that's good.

We got back about 5pm. Felt like Manhattan-thirty to me so we started drinking again. Lady Head made dinner and we dropped ED off at the airport at 8pm.

All in all a fun weekend, full of much needed debauchery.

Feeling a little run down today. Hence the crappier than usual post.

Stop posting boring poker blogs, Head. People are going to think we have such lame lives. I am a charming, exciting, person. I do not describe poker-hands and drop "poker lingo" with reckless abandon. I have a personality. I leave the house occasionally. An accurate imprint of my ass does not adorn our computer desk chair... Get a friggin' life!

Well, it happened to be about my trip. My trip where I played a shitload of poker.
If you went on a trip, wouldn't you talk about what you did?

They didn't deserve mentioning considering how hideous they were.
Still, you get what you pay for.
