WSOP 2006 - TP's Updates...

[Talking Poker]

I played absolutely NO poker today, and had a really great time. It's so crazy to me that I was BORED here just a few days ago and was thinking about changing my flight to go home early. Things sure have changed since then and all for the better!

Today, I went out with a new friend of mine. And yes, my new (female) friend is a FRIEND, so no need for you guys to speculate, etc. We went and had lunch at a cafe overlooking the pool at the Wynn, and then we headed up to Red Rock. This is a beautiful area that I've heard of before, but never visited. It really is impressive, and not all that far from here.

We went horeseback riding (this was the third time in my life, and first time in 8 years or so) for about an hour. It was slow and relaxed, except for when MY horse decided to get spooked. No worries. The only way I'm falling off a horse is if the whole thing comes down on top of me. I'm not even kidding.

After riding, we went exploring a bit... We did the scenic drive, which has about 5 or 6 stopping points where you can go hiking. We went off for quite a ways on the first one, and ended up doing a little bit of climbing. I love climbing things (always have), and there was one spot (ledge?) that I just HAD to try. I made it up, but coming down was tricky, to say the least. If and when she sends me the pics (the batery in my camera is dead), I'll post one or two.

After exploring the area some more, we headed out and stopped by the Red Rock Casino. This place is NICE. We had dinner there, and then played some 1c slots just for fun... well, fun for her - not so much for me. I typically hate all slot machines, but I suppose it was an entertaining $20 spent.

Definitely, definitely, definitely a fun day. I'm so glad I stuck around Vegas, not only for my Final Table, but for this too...

As of right now, I'm thinking I'm going to play in tomorrow's $1500 Event, but rather than head over and register now (I'm tired and don't feel like it), I'm just going to go in the morning. If it's sold out, so be it - I'll take that as a sign that I wasn't supposed to play. But I'll probably get in, and when I do, I'll send RR some updates. I don't have super high expectations (it would be awfully hard to repeat my performance from the other day), but I have been playing excellent poker lately, so you never know.

Oh, I also have to find Fabrice before I leave, since he owes me $1000. He's playing in the $10k at the Bellagio tomorrow - too rich for my blood.

sounds like fun...

did you just meet this friend in vegas a few days ago? if so thats pretty sweet...

Anyways good luck tommorrow if you play the 1500 event.

[Talking Poker]

Thanks.

And yeah... she's actually the one who registered Zy and I with less than 10 spots to go before the tourney sold out (they capped it at 1100). She was really cool and stalled for me, while he was literally running through the building with cash. We've chit chatted ever since, and went out for drinks to celebrate my Final Table the other night.

This reminds me, I still owe Zy some $$.

[omahilo]

sounds awesome.

[Penguinfan]

Great, another EEJIT on our hands.

[Robbie Robb]

That sounds like an AWESOME(R) day. There's just so much around Vegas that I've read about that I want to visit. Well, as far as I know I'll be home all day so I'll leave my email open for the updates! GL!

Just got back from a cruise to mexico and belize, just saw this and thought id say congrats TP, great job.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, not really. He was paid in full within 5 minutes of me making that post.

[Penguinfan]

Playing today?

[Talking Poker]

Hopefully. I'm leaving here right now, and if they aren't sold out when I get there (I don't think they will be), I'm in.

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, got the first update from Mark. He's registered and says it's a small field so far. He also mentioned that he witnessed a player having a seizure at a satellite table. Scary stuff.

[Reel Deal]

Ask TP to get Jen's number for me... I'm way better looking than that grease-ball she married.

Seriously though, go TP go!!!
