Sunday with Smokkee and Tina Part II

So, I guess I'll finish this post today since blogger would only allow me to post 3 pictures yesterday. In fact, I think that everytime I create a new post, I'm only allowed to post 3 pictures and that's it. Why is that? Does anyone know how I can change that?

At any rate, on with the story. So, we get to the Sahara Tournament and there are quite a few players milling around - 180 players to be exact. Smokkee and I signed up immediately and we asked for different tables. MiamiDon came in a few minutes later to sign up and there was a line already. He's pretty sad about having to wait...



But, luckily he met some really cool guys while he was waiting in line as you can see here...



So, we played for a while and we all made it through the first break. I actually started out a bit aggressive, which is unusual for me, but it worked in my favor and I took an early chip lead at my table. Unfortunately, I picked a bad spot to go all-in with AQ and ran up against pocket kings. I flopped an Ace, but he flopped a King, so it was all over for me. Smokkee lasted the longest, but none of us came in the money. I had a good time though. All of the dealers at the Sahara are pretty cool and I was chit chatty with everyone at my table.

This was another one of the cool dealers...




After I busted out of the Tourney, I headed over to the penny slots and played Jackpot Party. Super Jackpot Party is my machine of choice, but it's a newer slot and they don't have it at the Sahara. So, anyway, I made about $30 playing Jackpot Party, so that was kind of fun. I hit the bonus round 3 times! Not too shabby.

Don and Ray...



After the Sahara, we went back over to the MGM and I guess it was about 11 p.m. or something like that and the poker room was PACKED!!!!! We put our names on the list, but after about a half hour, I was done. I realized how tired I was and I knew there was no way I was going to pull out a marathon session. I couldn't concentrate. So, we called it a night and headed home.

Today is my day off. Don is about to head down to the strip and pick up Ray and the 3 of us are heading out to the Red Rock for some live poker action. I'm gonna put a keno ticket in using my dad's numbers too. He had good luck with the keno at Red Rock last time he was here. I'm looking forward to it. More pictures to come!!
