Ok, now the updates are coming all at once, found a way to make posting a bit more hazzle-free. I can upload a load of pictures o flickr.com and then use them on this blog releaving me of the teadious task of uploading pics one by one on blogspot, if i only could come up with a way to get the pictures to picasa instead I would really be going somwhere.
Anyway, Mike and I went to a nearby Indian reservation Mike mostly to accompany me and see something different but I went for the Gambling =) The Kah-Nee-Ta indian tribe is running a Casino on their premises. And on saturdays at 4:30pm they have a $37+5 with $10 bounty added per person (if you take somenone out of the tournament you get 10 bucks from the casino)
Its really fun playing live poker in a casino it gives a lot more to the game compared to sitting in front of a computer. I really love the Casinoenvironment and has always done. And you always meet some characters at those cheaper games. Last year I played one tournament in California and got 8 of a starting field of 110 something players I got about 120 bucks that time. This time my goal was to beat that. When we arrived, in the last minute, the registration was closed when i registered, there where 22 player with top three places paid 1st $407 2nd $244 3rd $163. So if i was gonna beat my old record winnings a top three is enogh =)
The lanscape changes quickly 30minutes from the massive snow in mt hood we're out of the forest and entering the desert.
Its pretty Cowboy out here
straight ahead...
Im concentrated at getting to the tournament in time, just keeping the speed above 60mph and it should be good
Beautiful creek along the road looks like John Wayne andcompany could be anywhere around.
We cant stop here... this is indian country.
Finally a place where the old indians can fleece the white man for some money to repay a tiny bit for the horrible landstealing that went on in the old days
Mike has a birdsview of the blackjacktables.
Its all about being there long enogh...
...and at the right machine
Overview of the main floor in the casino
Mike didnt join the tournament and instead sat and enjoyed the free drinks in the poker room, root beer is not good...
Shuffle up and deal. 22 players 11 at each table
Down to the final table..
Four players to go 3 places paid who will be the bubbleboy?
In the money!! Discussing a deal with the other players but no agreement and we play for the big bucks
Down to two now, im chipleader so looking good we didnt split the money.
All in the next hand, I went in as favourite and it held up. Good to win =)
Biggest win (yet) in my livepoker career $447 with the four bountys i picked up.
