Return From Vegas

Oh Vegas…how do I love thee! Let me count the ways! You leave me broke, half dead, morally questionable, partied out, and lacking brain cells, but I continue to flock to you and sacrifice my body and soul to the party gods. It’s like a dysfunctional relationship that you know is no good for you, but you just can’t stay away from. Vegas is the wife beater of vacation destinations.

My good friend Tarah sent me the above quote on her return from Vegas. I thought I would use it for my return trip report. Sure my report is coming like three weeks after I was in Sin City. Since then I have been to two other states including Atlanta, Ga. for the Final Four which was cool. But this is a poker blog so why not start with a bad beat story...I kid, I kid.

No there wasn't much in the way of poker to be honest. I played at the MGM and it was a good time there as always. I sometimes think if someone wanted to they could make a good little side living playing at the 4/8 tables at this place. Serious! Also, don't forget how nice and soft the 1/2 no-limit tables are. They are as wild as card rooms here in NYC. I have been making a nice little profit playing in those card rooms but the wildness of the game still rattles me a bit. As most of you know, I'm not a no-limit player. But my no-limit game has been improving so I thought I would give the MGM a shot. Needless to say there were a lot of people blasting away there and it makes me wonder where these people get their money.

In any case, lame ass report but I just wanted to get back to writing a bit. It has been a while since I have written here and I apologize. I have just been putting my own company together and I hope to be landing my first contract by the end of this month and that was the big announcement I mentioned a few weeks back. I'm starting my own little company...nothing much to be honest, it is a one man operation called: The Rooster Consulting. Where our saying is, We Swing Our Cock So You Don't Have To. It is kind of strange being your own boss soon...but it is what it is. Take care all.
