ok poker fans we're back in snowy
atlantic city where we start off the morning at the amazing
borgata!!
philadelphia sports radio 94wip is doing a live broadcast on the casino floor and there is a lot of excitement about the
eagles signing alshon jeffery. supposedly my
colts had some interest in jeffery as well as dontari poe but (so far) haven't reeled in any big names. this week i did see where the colts signed a player named al woods and my immediate reaction was that if we could just get bill benter under contract that......
anyhow i grab some breakfast at
bread and butter before checking out of the hotel and heading down the the poker room to close out our borgata stay with a final game of 1-2 no limit holdem.
we start slow in this one as my preflop raise with QQ is called by a player with
Q9
who goes on to river a straight.
just not a good week for pen shippers playing QQ here at borgata.
when i raise again and am beaten by a player calling with A9 i get up and move to the left of BOTH of these players. eventually i rally back to even but the table starts getting tougher. i drop a couple hands with AK and down $60 i wave the white flag and head over to
bally's where i have a room for the night.
unfortunately at bally's i had to pay an extra $28 to get a bed for our friend
the lion (who already tucked his tail and headed back to grantville) but since i have over $2000 of caesars rewards credits this isn't that big of a deal. of course though the woman at check in can't reverse the advance deposit charge that has already been put on my credit card....... sigh.
maybe things will go better against a weak 246 limit field down in the wild west poker room?
uhh....no.
i start losing from the opening bell but towards the end look to get on the board with KK. but the cowboys lose to 73 and in the very next hand JJ is rivered by a gutshot.
at this point i get up and storm out of the poker room towards the main wild west section where there's a concert, beer pong, 21 year old girls, and lots of fun things besides losing to rag playing donkeys.
suddenly though there's complete chaos and rumors of a gun and bally's security and atlantic city police are chasing people all over the casino floor!!
they run past me about five times in both directions. there are rumors, including one that it's outraged proximity poker tour fans that have finally snapped but no one can say for sure.
thank you for reading.
