wednesday cont'd

Hit the GAMBLERS BOOK STORE to
pick up another ACG book. Came across
a copy of Professional No-Limit Holdem
by Ed Miller (which always seems to be
back ordered back home), so i picked
that up too. A quick glance through it,
gives me the impression this book is gold!
Advanced concepts for cash games.
Would probably put this in the category of
NL Theory & Practice. Not a beginners book.
Cant wait to get started on it.

Conveniently, there's a DollarStore
next to GBS, so we popped in to get
some refreshments, snacks and toiletries.
$1 styrofoam cooler to put water
and soda's in was a great investment.

Headed back to the airport to pick up
our friend Jeff Smith (molson35 from the
Premier Tour online events) who was
coming in for a vegas vacation.

Made our way to Downtown LasVegas.
Checked in to the FOUR QUEENS after
lunch. Tried the $20 trick, (tipping the front
desk clerk for free room upgrade) but she said
there were no upgrades available.
Took a tour around Freemont Street.
Checked out BINIONS (-$5 on slots) and the
FREEMONT (+$2 on slots).

It was a very long day/night previous...
watched the 08 WSOP on ESPN,
went to work, then off to Detroit,
so I needed a nap around 5pm.
My renovated 4Queens room was clean,
had a flat panel tv, & a very comfortable bed.
Bathroom was small, but adequate.
No hesitation staying here again.

Woke up around 9:30pm and headed over
to the CALIFORNIA Casino for their
$4 Chicken Finger and Fries special.
One of my favourite Vegas food deals.
Lost -$5 on the Reel 'Em In fishing game.

Really surprised how dead Fremont St.
is after midnight, guess it IS only the
middle of the week.



Went over to BINIONS, wasnt much
happening in the poker room so went
across the street to the GOLDEN NUGGET
and played some $1/2 NL (table stakes, no max).
Action was a little slow, but had mucho fun.
+ $85 over 4 hours of play. Headed back
to the 4Queens. Made + $12.25 on the
Village People Party slots before bed.
