Sunday, July 30th, 2006Repeated visits to men’s restrooms at the Rio suggest that poker players really like to, um, “splash the pot”. If you take my meaning. Which I think you do. Also: note timestamp of post. Ate steak, ate eggs, returned to room, and if my cell phone starts blowing up in the next twelve hours I’m [...]
Done For The Night
Sunday, July 30th, 2006T40350 is the final tally. Moving to table 163. Bill Gazes will be on my left when we reconvene Tuesday (I think). As in, I think he’ll be on my left and I think it’s Tuesday.

Too Tired For A Full Update
Sunday, July 30th, 2006T34k or thereabouts. Made one genius move in the last level and won a good-sized pot because of it. No big hands (no rockets all day) but still grinding it out. I am the tortoise.

It’s What’s For Dinner
Saturday, July 29th, 2006T29825 at the dinner break, 100/200/25 when we come back. Nearly busted Brad Garrett, getting him down to T2150 (and irritating him with my face of stone). A few hands later he limped in and flopped the nut straight, checkraised all-in and got rivered by someone who is apparently Doyle Brunson’s grandson. (AQ vs. KT, [...]
And Then Nothing Happened
Saturday, July 29th, 2006T19800ish, about to start the 100/200/25 level. I did run KK into Brad Garrett’s AA but pretty much lost the minimum – he raised UTG, I reraised from the button, he re-minraised, I called, we saw an A77 flop. He bet 40% of his chips at the flop and I thought for a couple of [...]
