I made it back from Vegas
with a few bucks in my pocket
and my ego mostly intact.

Got to play with some full time
grinders, a bunch of WSOP main event
entrants and a few drunk donkies too.

Mostly played $1/2 NL at the Golden Nugget
(Downtown on Fremont St.) Played at Caesars
Palace and Binions too. The line up to play
at Bellagio and Rio were rediculously long.
Next time I'm going to stay on the Strip
and play some of the big casino's.
During the world series, there's no shortage
of bad players itching to give away their
money at the Rio, Bellagio, Caesars, MGM, etc.

It surprised me how many 'new' poker players
shyed away from No Limit. They like the idea
of Limit poker and only being able to bet a
set amount per round. But for some reason,
they would end up losing more money in
big pots at limit, than they would have at NL.
During hands i had folded, i watched the 2/4
and 3/6 limit games over my shoulder, routinely
capping the bets and building $100-$200 pots,
and then someone takes it down with a King high,
or a rivered pair of 3's etc. It was so juicey, but
i just couldnt bring myself to move over and play limit.
