Sham's Blog: Las Vegas 2007 (Sun 6/3)

(Part 6 in the "Letters Home" series originally printed in aces-cracked.net)

"Entry 5, 9:25 am Sunday 6/3:

The WSOP is worse than I said. Everyone complaining about the cards' numbers etc. being too small (for TV), and they're right. Lines and player treatment are awful. Over 1,000 alternate players for Even 3; I gave up on it. Better ways to spend my money. Even the cash games are all but squeezed out (poor Harrah's/Rio!), too many tourney tables needed. Things should calm a tad next week.

Oh, hi! As you may surmise, I'm feeling much better today!! A nap/siesta is a wonderful thing!! Played my first live blackjack in years yesterday, and only lost 40 bucks -- and got that mostly back thanks to the Cavs. Played ring games here at Orleans 7:15p-3:20a yesterday, down almost $400 at one point, came back well at $1-2 NLHE table to finish the session just $33 behind. Enthused. Back to the tourneys today, a $75 NLHE nooner at Orleans and then maybe 5p Binion's Classic $150 Lim HE. Tonight will be ring games at Bellagio, Caesars or Mirage; time to find some rich tourists who are feeling generous!

Too many kids at the pool still, durn it. Need a session over at the European Pools of Mirage, Ceasars, TI, Statosphere etc. soon. Venetian is nice too; that may be the Monday plan, as they also have a great Deep Stacks Extravaganza tourney that day.

Time to roll. Who won Saturday night? Was there even enough for a game? I miss being able to do much on computer. Oh, and Randy, love the Sahara 11p tourney; I would've recommended Caesars' new 11p tourney, but they said they're shutting it down while WSOP is in town. Concentrate more on getting players' ring-game cash.

Ciao fer now..."
