I'll be in NYC from Wed - Sun - hanging out with Luv2DriveTT and visiting rooms in Atlantic City and elsewhere in the big apple -

if you recognize him, look for me - I'll probably have the Homer Simpson shirt on -

I'll probably have Whiskeytown within 50 feet of me.

RB - mid-trip report? Inquiring minds want to know.

Mid trip report? - well, since I'm getting my joneses in the i-net cafe, why not? - (screw booze, it's the internet I'm addicted to)

I'm currently typing this in an Internet Cafe on Bleeker St. in NYC - waiting for the sun to move a bit so there's shade again -

Had a great time with Luv2DriveTT and NJChick so far - I spent most of my time at one room with guys like Wayfare, MaxPower, but I left that table quickly and went to 1/2 NL -
first night - up 80 bucks - you would THINK having cracked a guy's KK twice (once with AK, once with AJ on the river) that I'd be WAY up /images/graemlins/grin.gif -

second night, checked out another place with NJChick, but went back to the first - blew $100 in a tourney, and then proceeded to pick up about $540 in another 1/2 NL game -

Gawd, I love NL - I am too tight playing NL tourneys, but the NL ring games are perfect for my style - just wait for the over aggressive player to push and bust his ass...

as usual, it came down to one hand - limp in with KQ offsuit - flop comes QQ9 - I bet/call something, opponent goes all in, and I call - he has Q3, and then I have $300 more bucks then I used to have....

the NYC portion of the trip is almost done - a couple hrs. in Washington Square Park, probably - and just relaxing - We're going to AC tonight and we'll be there till Sun, at which time I come back and fly out of Newark on Sun. afternoon...

been a great time - (loved Wayfare's apt....Jesus - I think I'd just sleep/live on the balcony 24/7) - and any in NYC, look for the guy who looks like a poor man's Russell Crowe...

Make sure you digest that Bistro Burger before you venture out again. I'm ready for a nap.

Glad to hear Gotham was good to you.

Gotham was fantastic -

Boardwalk country was terrible to me - took all of Gotham's money the first night in 1/2 NL - twice I flopped set UNDER set - (the first time I turned a boat only to have him turn quads) - but I think it was good to Maxpower and Luv2DriveTT

on the other hand, I did finally after 32 years get to see the Atlantic Ocean...

Will you all be in AC on Saturday? If so, maybe we'll run into each other at Taj or Borgata.

Bunkyfest is next weekend I think....

all bets are off - I fully expect half of them to be PM'ing me for bail money before the end of that one...

Further proof that Brick & Mortar poker is rigged.

I joked with TT that if it had been an online casino, there's a good chance I WOULD think it was rigged and quit...LOL -

as it is, I just think the Mob runs the Tropicana...LOL

in spots like this, I get bummed, but I can easily see the bright side of this as opposed to the 2 outer that takes me down - I was just dominated handwise this time around.
