Mini Trip Report....Whatever....

Ok, so we went to Pechanga to play poker and watch the "big" Game....(trademarked you know) anyway, I decided to play in a 4/8 kill game.....Things are going along well, I am holding my own....so now it is 8/16 as there is a kill on.....so I am BB, I look down at A/5 spades...so I call the 4 bucks...What do you know, I flop the nut flush..9/4/7 S...SB bets 8, I raise to 16...one guy calls and SB folds....Turn comes a Q.....I bet, guy calls.....River Q.....I bet guy calls......he then say's "you gotta bigger full house?) What....no I have a flush..He proceeds to throw over Q/4 OS......WHATEVER......So, I decide it is time to go, as I am only down $75.00 bucks at this point.....So then I call Mark and he is in the bar, so I go over there to watch the game and have a beer......the bartender tells me there is a $25.00 Buffet, and I tell him we have already eaten so no thank you....We finish our beer and ask for the check around the end of the 3rd quarter.....$71.65 please....WHAT......so at this point bartender tells us that this is a "private" party and that everyone has to pay $25.00 per person for the buffet.....oh I don't think so.......you know we ask for the manager.....The guy next to me tells me to say"F*** You, I heard the buffet sucks".....I choose a little more tactful route......After a few minutes of wrangling with the manager, she offers to take the buffets off of our check.......How nice since we didn't eat anything....and there were no signs anywhere....Oh, but while we were wrangling, one of my raffle tickets got called and I won a nice Mug and a T-shirt....Oh and now that the Giants have won....We have to go back to Vegas to collect on our winning tickets....YEAH.....And that is Pechanga Poker......

POKERKATT

Same day Vegas report

short and sweet
I'm terrible at remembering hands but great at knowing my money wins or losses. Arrive at Binnions by shuttle can't check into the room so flirt with the bellman Marc for awhile who gives me 2 decks of Binnions cards and stores my luggage until someone shows up to give me my room. aka Gyla Its in her name ya know. So I go over and play NLH all day long not knowing that if I had a Binnions players card I'd earn $2 an hour while playing! So basicly this means all my meals here have been comped. Its so worth getting a players card at every casion in every state you go to. Ok so I'm down about $150 when I see Gyla walking towards me so I gladly quit the games and go hug her and Janice. Around then Lupe comes in too and we all visit for a sec then we get checked into our rooms. Gyla and Janice stay at Tina's beautiful home so I have the room all to myself. They leave and go to Tinas so I go get into a $3/$6 NLH game and KrazyBitch, Sly and DeeDee show up. Krazy joins my table while DeeDee goes to NLH. A few hours later I'm getting tired and the girls jump into the 2am tournament so I cash out $250 and go to bed. Those 3 stayed up till 8am and finally run to their hotel for a few hours sleep before starting in again. You hafta be young to keep up with them. A few of us go have breakfast at Binnions which serves man size meals!! OMG the food is yummy and hugh portions. Thats all I can remember for now. It will prolly take me longer to tell ya about Lupe cleaning house on the Omaha game. I did get to play Razz, Omaha 8/b, stud, stud h/l, tripple draw with Barbara E and Max Shapiro the following night. WHAT a fun time!

I crashed Lindas party she had Friday night but she didn't know it :). Barbara Enright invited me when I saw her at the casino late Thursday or was it early Friday morning??? I was playing with Lupe and she showed up at our table just to talk. She ask if I was going and when I said I wasn't invited she said well you are now! Lindas home is alot of poker, animals and more poker. Safari animal statues, beautiful paintings and her office all decorated with poker....and awards and trophiesLindas sister makes the bestttttttttt brownies ever!!!!!!!!
