Just got home from my few days at the Pot... played in events 4/6/7 in WSOPC, didn't cash in any of them
Best run was in event 4, made it to about 30th place, maybe 11 or 1130pm Monday night. The guy who knocked me out went on to win the ring in that one too, so good to see my chips were put to good use. In event 6 (the six-max) I was knocked out early when I shoved AQ into AA... whoops. In event 7 (monster stack earlier today) I was card dead for 7 levels, never saw a hand better than K9... got down around 4000-5000 chips with blinds at 50/200/400, had a raise to 850 before me and I shoved with JJ... and the raiser has KK, game over there too. Oh well.
Pot was a cool place, had fun and made some good $ at the 2/5 game in the poker room, sounded like by the comments I heard that it was much more crowded and crazy in the poker room than usual with the WSOPC crowd hanging around. It was weird how some areas of the casino allowed smoking and some did not. I am glad the 3rd floor is on smoke lockdown but it seemed like I was walking thru smoke clouds as I made my way around the 1st floor checking out tables, restaurants, etc.
The new Italian restaurant up near the poker room, had decent food, but the service I had on Tuesday night was beyond terrible. It wasn't crowded, they had plenty of servers, and I have no idea what mine was doing. I made a comment to the manager, not with any attitude, just a "hey just so you know" and he told me I didn't have to eat there or come back if I didn't like what they did. OK then, I won't, "buddy".
The hotel room was nice, the people at the hotel were very nice (called to tell me I left stuff in the room after I left, most places would just ditch the stuff), etc. Service around the hotel was generally very good... check in was very easy and friendly, etc.
Thanks for the Q&A before I went out, hope to see you again next time.
