So, I returned from Vegas yesterday and feel great. Highwaytime and I played a decent amount during my week in town and it was a solid week for both of us. We had a few prop bets that he did emerge *victorious in, but it was close and there is still some room for debate. I did however destroy him in a foot race.

The game for the week was built around one player we call Old Navy. He’s about 75 and always wears a denim Aladdin jacket and a Navy hat. The guy was very nice, but Mike and I proceeded to extract every dollar possible out of him. He was very LAG and wasn’t folding once he had money in the pot. During one of our final sessions, I arrived shortly before Highwaytime and Old Navy had about $600 on the table. The two of us sat on each side of him and in a span of about 4 hands managed to get most of his money in to our stacks.

We also went to a 51’s game with the infamous Gambling Duke and his girlfriend, thanks again. I tried to hustle her in prop bets during the game, but alas it turns out she’s smarter than me, so no luck.

Highwaytime introduced me to the glory that is Viruta Fighter 4 and I will be entering an intense training regiment to get in to shape for my return trip to Vegas. I still want my $1500.

I also received conformation during my trip that Big Carolina will be making an appearance in Vegas, so I’m clearing my calendar for that. All in all it was a good trip and great to get back in some live action after thousands of online hands.

Just a closing note, if you are ever given the decision to either attend Pathfinder or the Aqua Teen movie, just kill yourself as the it will be a faster and much less painful death that way.
