it's a relaxing and uneventful drive down to the shore and despite the fact that i've spent the year getting cards that would make a pauper out of phil ivey i try to keep my thoughts positive.
eventually i arrive at spectacular bally's by the beach. it's 1:00 am you would think i could just check right in at that time but of course this is the proximity poker tour. the diamond line waits and waits and waits as an ugly couple tries the difficult task of checking into a hotel room.
eventually i get to the desk and 30 seconds later i'm sent to an interesting little suite in the curtis on the bay tower. i don't really need a bar, a jacuzzi, and multiple bathroom sinks..... but hey, i'll take it!
for tonight at least, i'm a winner!
tomorrow: cards in air.

ok poker fans we are back in exciting ATLANTIC CITY where we wake up in some kind of strange add on suite in the Curtis on the bay tower at BALLY'S.
traditionally i'm more of a fan of the boardwalk than I am the marina in this town but I do note that you can actually go for a PEACEFUL morning walk on the path behind marina properties HARRAH'S and the BORGATA. on the boardwalk itself of course your walk is going to be interrupted by panhandlers asking for change..... probably multiple times.
there are 1-1 comps (which is what ALL comps should be
) at the dunkin donuts and we start our day with an oatmeal to keep our immune system strong in its battle against the dirty chips. eventually we make our way down to the poker room in the wild west section of the casino and start our gambling with some 2-4-6 limit hold 'em.
top pair loses twice in the opening moments and KK is beaten about thirty minutes in. about two hours later though we're about to move ahead with 93 from the big blind.
flop 9 8 3.
but a card shark stays in to river a six to complete his gutterball with 7 5.
fortunately he only has $3 left to bet but we're still behind.
a set of fives is rivered by a flush and AQ falls to A5 (AA5 flop, lol) before KK (0-2 day) goes down to J7 to put the cherry on top of this bally's sundae.
the game breaks (for the third time) and i call it quits.
thank you for reading.
