so...I'm still on my vacation: NC, VT, DC, MD, PA, NJ...all in a week's time.

we're in NJ, at my in-laws, and they were nice enough to trek to Atlantic City with us. I had been there onc before, and it was nice, but today was pretty damn cool: I got to play my first real casino hold 'em!

I played 2/4 hold 'em at the Taj Mahal. Nothing really to report: no bad beats; no crazy suck outs. I lost $15 over the course of 45 minutes, but that was really just because I never got cards...5 times around of blinds lost. I'm fine with that!

Like I've read elsewhere, the speed of play was much faster than I was expecting, but it wasn't too bad, and I didn't make any mistakes.

There was one person of note: a man in his early 50s, missing 3 or 4 bottom front teeth. He must have been in the bathroom when I sat down, but he just appeared out of nowhere...only to pull a piece of crumb cake and a yogurt drink out and start chowing down!! Oh, and the whole time he was doing that, he was taking down pots left and right!!

I've got the fever...

we had our third round of monthly games this past weekend. ended up have 18 people at two tables, and it lasted over 12 hrs. i ended up third and got my money back. :)

You should have shot me an email. I would have been up for an impromptu trip down the AC Expressway instead of the home game.

Just curious, but are you still playing? Are there still blogger tourneys?
