Commerce Trip Report (brief)

[Clarkmeister]

I had a great time as always. The highlight of the trip other than the 2+2 game at the Bike was outracing a Camaro on the way home. I'm so juvenille.

The staff at Commerce was exemplary yet again. Glen Tracy the dayshift Casino Manager actually walked up to me and welcomed me back to the Commerce. Glen hasn't seen me in a year. Incredibly impressive, espceially compared to the management staff in most (not all) of the Vegas rooms.

I played in the greatest game on earth for 3 straight days in the Commerce 40-80. Just how am I supposed to get movtivated to play here now? Bah. This is what I always hate about my trips to LA. It'll take me like a month to get over this feeling and not be sick to my stomach when I walk into a Vegas cardroom instead of an LA cardroom.

As always, I can't wait to get back. Not just for the poker, but for the people. A special thanks to everyone I met and talked with out there.

When's your next trip to the Bay Area? I'll head down to San Hoser and play some 40-80 w/ you there, where the games apparently rival Commerce these days.

You're not juvenile. You're cool. What the hell do you drive anyways?

Great seeing you. Just stay the hell out of my games. When Ulysses said, on the mid-, high-stakes forum, you play good, he spoke the truth.

I'm just wondering what Dynasty and Major Kong were thinking when you were racing the Camaro . . .

[Dynasty]

I was doing play by play and egging Clarkmeister on.

[Ed Miller]

What the hell do you drive anyways?

Clark's old car was WAY better.

"When's your next trip to the Bay Area?"

I am planning a trip this summer, but its like way up in the air still.

A 2000 Acura 3.5RL.

The Camaro dropped out when we hit 130+, but I could've gone quite a bit more.

"I am planning a trip this summer, but its like way up in the air still."

considering you could drive there in about 1 1/2 hours why not just go this afternoon?

[Boris]

That's a sweet ride. I doubt you could've taken out the Camaro in 1/4 mile race though.

[Clarkmeister]

"I doubt you could've taken out the Camaro in 1/4 mile race though."

Agreed.

It was funny, because he kept me behind him due to traffic and tactical speeding up/slowing down. I told Ed and Dynasty that because I was only "faking" trying to get by him that I'd surprise him when I actually made my move at him. He actually pulled over into the right lane when we had a long strip of open highway ahead of us and I got the jump on him as I floored it right away. I maintained about a 1/2 car length over him from 90 to about 120, it looked like he might make up a little near 125 (he gained maybe a yard on me), then at a shade over 130 he dropped back.

It was fun because of the buildup with him keeping me behind him and all.

[Josh W]

ROFL. Nuff said.

Seems like your style would be especially well suited to the California games.

Did Dynasty and Majorkong ever join you in the 40/80 game?
