Well.... Let's see - we had 37 players - small field. I had one of the most successful tourney players from Calgary sitting to my left - Rick Brown - (he looks like William Shatner) - he was very good company and we stayed out of any pots together.
I was fine until I wasn't...funny that in poker. No need for details but I got my money in well and a crazy ole feller got his money in with only 2 cards in the deck that could help him. OUCH! Dang that river card. Anyhooo - kinda crippled me until my 99 ran into TT - oh well to the cash tables I go.
All went well there - won enough to cover today's buy-in plus a few extra pesos. So we're good. This is Todd - nice dealer.
This is Ocean World Casino
Sat at the table with some men who clearly knew each other and sounded like they lived here and in the Bahamas. Discovered one was a hedge fund manager from the Bahamas who's been down here for many years and the other guy (his buddy) was the owner...of the casino. Yes, playing $1/2 NL. Nice guys...played seriously...too funny. You just never know who is sitting across from you at a poker table.
Tomorrow is the $500 tournament.
OMG! This is so exciting...its better than t.v. FYI I have had that hand in a tourney 99 vs 1010...we all know how that one ends(different stakes:) LOL a fund manager playing cards with a casino owner...hmmmmm. Simply rivotting. Those damn 2 outters. Love it.
