Drunken Monkey Poker

I don’t even know where to begin. As a lot of other people seem to be doing, this will just be a quick rundown of a few things that happened until… well, until after I sleep. Then I’ll write some more.

So… the WPBT Vegas trip.

  • 71(!) players in the Aladdin Classic. Cheering and clapping and screaming that wouldn’t be tolerated in a tournament of strangers. First three busts were (I think) two pocket aces and a hammer. Congrats to Bill Rini
  • HORPSE at the Nugget – the P is for Pineapple, in which I took down a hand with the hammer. Yes, I threw away a card to leave me 72o. And raised preflop.
  • Mixed game/dealer’s choice at the Plaza. I took down a huge pot on a straddle. Story later.
  • I slept in my hotel room one night outta the three I had it. I didn’t meet my roommate until Saturday night, after we had both been in and out several times. Whenever we were both in the room at the same time, at least one of us was asleep.

Damn, so much more. But I’ll save it for later. I wanted to read what other people were writing so much that I was browsing poker blogs on my Treo until they made me shut it off for takeoff.

I got a picture of me up on Tao of Poker. That’s me in the spring training 2002 shirt.

It was great meeting you. You’re a good looking guy, and don’t seem half bad at poker.

I know I met you, because I played in that HORPSE game at the Nugget, but I can’t remember which seat you were in. Or was this not on Saturday night?

I was in the 3 seat in the HORPSE game, I believe. I was the one who lost all my money the first round of Omaha. 🙂

First, you won all my sugar packets at breakfast (or was that lunch?), then your straddle cracked my aces!

Nice hand…and very nice meeting you this weekend. Such fun!
