(Part 10 in the "Letters Home" series originally printed in aces-cracked.net.)
"Entry 9, 10:50 am Friday (I think it is, who can tell any more) 6/8:
When you don't get to bed until 5 a.m. (or was it 6?) and insanely crawl out of bed at 10ish because some of the crew is playing a noon tourney at Caesars, you know you are truly certifiable. That's me.
Being up late was worth it, though. Paul (poor tired sniffling Mr. Group Leader), Randy (he made it here and found us, as did Lori) and I played the 11 pm $40 + $2 + $20 tourney at Sahara. Randy (rk) went out early; must still be the jet lag, or not yet used to the Vegas felters as Paul (penn) and I have become. I finished 6th for $230 (minus a tip for the dealers). Paul beat me (boooooo!!!!!) for his first tourney cash of the trip, finishing 4th. He can brag about it himself ... if he ever wakes up. We expect to see him maybe around dindin time.
Lori (Irongirl, IG) got in nicely, though I don't think she's played any poker yet. She and rk are targetting the nooner at Caesars, $110 buy-in with long levels. Yeah, I'm gonna drag my body over and support them. May play, may just do cash table ... or may sleep in a corner. RK and Ig both called our room this morn, the sadists. I did chat with ig, she's playing the WSOP women's event Sunday and was off to register. Hope it goes smoothly and she's careful; when you walk the Vegas streets (and even casinos) with cash, you must be wary and alert.
Not much game report today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe when I get home. So many tales to tell. Bottom line from Thursday for me was three tourneys played, two cashes, two finals tables and over $200 profit for the fay. This is getting a tad better. Now to get one of the 4-digit paydays and convince myself I'm not dreaming...
I'll let y'all go (I hate that expression!!!) and go ig and rk hunting. Really wish y'all were here!!! Next summer let's plan plenty in advance, and get the group here to partake of Sin City's bounty ... or at least the booty flying around here for those able to grab some.
Love and miss y'all. Play happy..."
