Atlantic City...

I wont got into much details...but here is a general overview on what happened:

Heffie, BvarianLvr, and I

$53+$12 Showboat Tournament....64 participants...top 6 paid...Heffie busted out when it got down to 3-4 tables... I came in 5th to collect a cool $203...1st place winner got $1400 or so...

Early Dinner at PF Chang (Tropicana)

Played an hour or so of $3/$6 LO8 (-$15)@ Tropicana while Bvar and Heffie went to Hilton for some $1/$2 NL.

Made a quickie $60 playing nickle slots...plus $20 playing Let It Ride...

Stayed at Days Inn next door to Trop... VERY NICE actually

Breakfast at Country-something...

Stopped by Borgata for an hour or so... Heffie and Bvar did some NL $1/$2... I hit some Let It Ride (-$60)...


Quick Note: Finally saw the poker room expansion (Borgata)...Hands down best room in AC

Not bad I guess Part Deux




This time I came in 5th.... I was actually the chip leader when it got down to 6...but by this time everyone had even number of chips and its either push or fold... Oh well.... I was actually last in chips when it got down to about 17 or so but was able to double then triple up to the final table....

I've been to the final table the last two times now (2 out of 3)

Here is what I think I know:

- tournament starts at 9:30....wont "in the money" till around midnight...to be ITM ya need at least 20K-15K to be "safe"

- final table wont happen till around 1:30am (EST)...by then you will need about 50K-40K to make it there..
