Sorry about my recent span of inactivity. Life has its twists and turns....and in those whirlwinds, I've had little time, desire or funds to play poker. Which is a real waste, being that I live in the fishtank known as Vegas.

So I finally broke out of the slump and played the Caesar's 7pm tournament on Thursday. I have made remarks before about being card dead, but this was a new record. I played until 9:30. The only pot I won was one I had limped into with K8 of spades and...

So! I finished corporate Harrah's training last week. It was 2 days about the company, 1 day about your property, 2 days about customer service. 40 hours, but paid at least, even if it was only my base $8 without tips.

This week, different story. This week was unpaid. 30+ hours without a dime. Apparently everyone goes through this before becoming official as a Dealertainer. I guess their theory is that if they train you, hence saving you the cost of dealer school, you put...

Which was a really cool opportunity to pick up free magazines, sample products.

Posed with Humberto and Jamie Gold (see avatar and profile photo) who were both very kind.

Hell, Doyle Brunson appeared on stage...

This has the potential to be a long blog. I don't want to waste up too much space, so I am actually going to post an extended version to myspace later, and you can read there if you really want all the juicy details.

SO! Here we go. First off, the drive here was disgusting. The first day I drove 15 hours. It wasn't horrible. I thought it would be worse. I made it almost the whole way through Kansas when I stopped and spent the night...
