Back to work…
Yes I have to work too..
Well for those who’d like to know how I did in Vegas.. I crapped out on the 1st day after 13 hours of play… I outlasted half the field though and managed to bluff 1 pro; the highlight of my shortlived poker debut hehehe. It was definitely once in a lifetime experience and I was overwhelmed by it all. I had an ESPN moment when I went all in, but my opponent took too long to decide, the camera turned away and focused on action on the table next to me.
I did win some smaller daily tournaments in Treasure Island. I won on the cash table too.. I’m not sure whether I’m trying to convince the readers or myself "I’m a decent poker player" by telling you that hahaha.
10 days in Vegas is overkill, now I have to find a new place to retire.. even as a hardcore fan of Las Vegas, I can’t stand the desert heat in summer. There’s too much ongoing construction on the STRIP new hotels, apts, complexes etc etc. dust everywhere, traffic is hell because there’s a cone near every sidewalk for no reason and most of the cabs punya a/c macam tak pernah servis.
Farah and I did manage to take our time and fully explore Las Vegas this time around. We watched 4 shows, all by cirque de soleil, these guys with rubber joints are taking over the Vegas entertainment. The tickets were free of course, courtesy of MGM group coz I’m a decent table player. B’fast, lunch and dinner too at their group hotels, but we kept craving for bfast at Wynn’s coz sedap gilo.
Overall it was a good break, I probably won’t complain so much had I won the world series.. hehe
