It was a only about 30 people $125 buyin so not a lot of money. I was the big stack when it was just down to 4 of us, and only 3 places paid. I had pocket kings and the villain had a 4 and something else, maybe an ace. There was a four on the flop we kept betting until we were both all in. He catches a miracle 4 on the river to devistate my stack. There is no way he should have been in the hand. I had this guy read perfectly. He had been chip leader earlier, but I was slowly taking away his chips. Just a bad beat.

Luckily a few hands later he made another dumb move and dump all his chips to a French guy and he was out, so I had 3rd.

I didn't have much left and with the blinds and antes I was done anyway.

Don't remember the exact amount but with that and my cash game winnings earlier in the morning (some of the worst players I have ever seen) I was up over a grand. Not bad for a few hours. Best part is I resisted playing anything else and left with all the money to add to my bankroll.

Going to Vegas for Labor day weekend. Used my points for free flight, basically comped at the Hotel for 4 days and now have doubled my bank roll so I am playing for free. What could be better. So the worst that could happen is that I come back home even.

Looking to play around. I love Caesars for the Tournaments, they have decent buyins and stacks and get good turnout, but want to try the new Aria room and get back to the Mirage and Bellagio for cash games.

Don't worry, I'll get em back at the buffet.

I am open to any time that we can make convient to all time zones. Somewhere between 12pm and 1PM NY time is usually good. I think HW is currently 6 hrs behind so that is between 6 am and 8 am.
