I wouldn't worry too much about it. Play your A game. Take it down.

Worse than losing this hand and busting 2 hands later was listening to the old guy complain for 10 minutes... nonstop "Ace Jack they give me and they have AA and KK. Ace Jack! I could have just folded and made the final table. Ace Jack! I should have folded it... no I had to go all in, i had Ace Jack! Ace Jack! They gave me Ace Jack and he has AA. At least you had KK you had to play. I had Ace Jack! I could have folded it, it was just Ace Jack. AA and KK and I have Ace Jack!". He is saying this to me, random poker players, the floor, and the cashiers paying us out who obviously don't give a flying f*ck. He must have said "Ace Jack" 40 times. LOL poor guy.

I'm also slightly irritated that the guy who was 3/16 to start the day didn't even show up because he had to work, and he probably ended up winning several thousand more than me. Sigh.

On a good note I really liked the tournament structure and promotions/added value. The buffet and overpriced wraps/burritos in the poker kitchen were decent. However, the casino itself I would describe as less "legendary" and more "depressing and smokey as hell", but I'm sure I'll be back again.

How do you not use a personal day if you are 3/16? Why even enter if you know going into a tourny you can't play if you advance to day two?

I'm probably the only guy that plays there somewhat regularly named Alex though. And I'm 90% sure I know who you are so I think it's more fun to keep it a secret.

Not sure if you can use the free night the same day you win it so check with the casino for rules and of course hotel availability. Fwiw I won that free night but haven't stayed there yet so don't know how good the rooms are.
Thanks man. I called them it is based on availbility so I am definitely gonna try to get a free night. That helps alot I need to save the money to lose at thetables. much appreciated man.

OMG, I forgot to post about OFC at the berg. They were playing it Monday night before my Tampa trip and playing with a rake to make it legit with the state. When I have some time away from the tables this week, I'll put up a blog about it. I think I have the rules they are using with me as well.

They would also like to host one of our monthly get together. I know you westsiders would go, but how about the east side guys and gals? Anyone interested?

I would play in a mix game there as long as I'm not out of town. Are we thinking March or April?

I'd suggest HORSE+NLHE+PLO and add 2-7 TD if we get 8 handed or less.

Same blinds as before (4/8)? And dealer pays antes on stud games (half the field?). 1/2 for big bet games. $500 max buy-in?

Count me in on this, I propose removing the H from Horse though and swapping it with NL 2-7 SD. I think most people hate Limit Holdem equally don't they? lol

Probably April. March is pretty booked for me. Need several to commit for that trek.
