SUMMER CAMP DAY 2

Well day 2 started off OK with a nice breakfast but unfortunately went down hill from there. The Golden Nugget had a PLO8 and NLH tournament that I entered. Every 8 hands the game is switched. Now most anyone might have thought that PLO8 meant a split game with high hand splitting the pot with a low hand of 8 or better. I found out the hard way that PLO8 in this instance only meant 8 handed not 8 low. I lost a nice pot but adjusted quickly. Still only got by half the field before getting knocked out.

My evening tournament was still at the Nugget and again it was two games but this time it was 7 stud 8 or better and limit Omaha 8 high low. Now these are two of my favorite games but unfortunately i was simply card dead but again managed to get through half the field.

Tomorrow I will be at the Wynn playing NLH in a seniors tournament. Hope my cards get better. Stay tuned!

SUMMER CAMP DAY 1

Got up at 5:30 A.M. and with Jean driving left at 6:00 for Midway and SW Airlines. Lines were ridiculously short, the plane left right on time and arrived in Vegas a half hour early. Called my usual Lyft ride and arrived at the 4 Queens (the only hotel in Vegas with no resort), Early check in was $25 so just checked my bags and had breakfast in the coffee shop.

After breakfast walked over to the Golden Nugget to check their tournament schedule. They has a Limit Omaha 8 that had just started so I jumped right in. Unfortunately I only lasted through half the field. Checked into my room at the 4Queens and am getting ready to play with my computer group. Thursday the Wynn has a $550 Seniors buy in that I am going to play in. Stay tuned!
