I've dropped $1,001 in the last two days so I wasn't thrilled about that. I got a bit of it back today as I win about $300. I took the night off last night in regards to going out so I was looking forward to going out tonight. So I was glad that the Korean whale who owns a night club in town invited me and a group of us to eat and drink in his club's lounge. The place is the Marquee and I've mentioned them before, but I can't stress enough how much this place is the nuts. We've gone there on our own dime before but it's obviously more enjoyable when someone else picks up the tab. Honestly I was ready to help with the bill but as it is his own place the bill never even came out. We simply walked out when we were done and it was assumed that the owner covered it.
We then headed out to the Riverside where we made our usual rounds on 104 and 136. There are two bars that I'm going to cross off my personal list as I've grown fairly tired of bars that are drink factories, filled with girls that never go home with their customers. The Rose Bar is the first such spot as the girls there are all basically teases that constantly ask for drinks, but when it comes time to bar fine them and go home suddenly they tell you that they don't do such a thing. This is why I now ask at the beginning whether or not they go home because I don't want to be told that they don't after I've already bought them drinks. The Rose Bar and their staff are pros at this so I really don't want to waste my time there anymore.
The second place is the Candy Bar as I once liked them but I've had too many bad experiences in recent visits. Tonight I bought a drink for a girl but when some other customers came in she immediately left our table to go sit with them. I immediately asked for the bill as I wasn't about to buy drinks for some girl just so she can spend her time with someone else. We hit a few other bars before calling it a night.
I am heading out to Sihanoukville tomorrow to do some promotional work for the Riverking. I don't think I'll play in any events but I hope to make aware the players in this region of the Riverking and the general poker scene in Phnom Penh. And I have a couple of regular girls down there that I've always had fun with. Seeing as how prices are lower there for this sort of thing, I'm looking forward to the trip and hooking up with some ladies that I've had fun with in the past.
A significant part of why we went out tonight was that one of the new players at the Riverking was going back home tomorrow. I'm glad we got a chance to hang out one last time. I hang out with some proper friends from the Riverking as the whale picked up the entire tab at his bar, another friend picked up the tab at Candy when he saw that I was visibly upset, and the guy going back home picked up the final bill in the last bar.
Now seven of us are packing ourselves into two SUV's tomorrow and heading down to the WPT. We expect the numbers to be better than the event at Poipet so hopefully it will give me a chance to meet a lot of new players. It should be an interesting trip. I have much work to do, but I look forward to getting together with some old friends and having some fun mixed in with the business at hand.
