ok poker fans we're back with day number two of yet another exciting ATLANTIC CITY trip.
day number one found us winning at the poker and blackjack tables but taking an absolute pounding on the slots.
we'll close out the trip with a day of poker and the day starts well as I jump out to a quick lead in 2/6 company at the
bally's world series of poker room I the wild west section of the casino.
unfortunately, however, i'm in the "main game" featuring "regs" who take frequent and lengthy breaks. from sixty year old pot smokers to long lunch breaks to normal smoke breaks...... you name it. it all adds up to a short table. eventually I get sick of seeing double the number of players at one of the other 2/6 games and ahead $54 I bolt for the
Tropicana.
Tropicana features a brand new poker room. the room is nice enough but it's tucked way back in the corner behind even where the old room was so idk how much casual traffic it's going to pull in ? and truth be told, the room probably shouldn't have pulled me in since this little stroll down the boardwalk isn't getting me any much needed caesars tier credits.
but when i flop a set and river quad 9s it appears that the gamble could pay off as Tropicana has an hourly high hand that i take command of! another player tells me that it's like $300 AND i get to draw a ping pong ball or something for an added bonus. indeed this could turn the whole trip around!!
however, with just five minutes left in the hour, the other 2/6 game breaks and a player from this broken game comes to our table and immediately flops quad tens.
i rack up with a $25 loss and head back down to bally's for one final game of 2/6 where i go back to being incredibly card dead.
i fold about 100 hands in a row before running TT into AA.
in a recurring 2017 theme AQ flops an ace but loses to A9 offsuit. JJ loses. 87s misses completely. i drop $39 and point my car for Grantville.
thank you for reading.
