Fairly subdued night as I had a date night with the Mrs after work. I even asked the new floor man to come in a bit early so we could eat at a decent hour. We ended up going to a nice restaurant not too far from our home and the Riverking called Bouchon Wine Bar. I've always wanted to try this place out and glad I finally did as it was amazing. The food was excellent with a great decor for the restaurant and they had what seemed like an endless selection of wine. We ordered three courses and for a fine dining establishment the bill wasn't too high at $38. The only thing I didn't take a picture of was my girlfriend's steak as she likes it well done and I can't bring myself to photograph that.
Work was work as we continue to be fairly busy with both hold'em and Omaha games. We couldn't get the $2-$5 NLH today but managed a second game of $5-$5 Omaha. We continue to see some new faces and the return of some familiar ones. The hotel is now fully booked so we had to start putting some players in an alternate location. The dealers and I had a really productive meeting yesterday and they all seem to be on board with what we're trying to do so I'm happy about that. More importantly they seem to be in better spirits as of late, which I really appreciate since they've had to work some really long hours the past few months. We finally got some help in that department as we brought on a new member and are training her right now. Her first turn in the box was a bit painful but I suppose that's to be expected. All in all we really do have the best staff of any poker room I've ever been around and that includes the servers.
I think I'll try to spend one more night in tomorrow and get some more rest before I go buck wild on Sunday night before my days off. But you never know I guess as the nightlife here is a difficult temptation to resist. I ran super good in the $2-$5 game the other day which turned out to be timely. My girlfriend's father has been ill as of late so I gave her some money to cover his recent medical bills. We're pretty well stocked on all the baby stuff, but we do have a doctor's appointment coming up Monday and I suppose those will only increase in frequency. Thanks to 5South who texted me today with some really helpful information regarding matters related to childbirth; much appreciated.
