WSOPC New Orleans



After a lovely lunch at Juan's Flying Burrito, I hustled back to the casino to catch the 5pm PLO. I have to show picture ID to get into the casino and to buy in to the tourney.

I'm considering wearing my ID around my neck so I don't have to fish it out of my wallet every time I have to prove my identity.

And... I'm out.

Took the ole AAJ5 vs AA36 and lost to a 7 high straight when the 5 hit the river. Awesome.

I play the 9pm $200 tourney a little later and after bluffing all my chips off with 9 high I bust out in the 3 level with KJ vs 88.

I decide to play some cash games and find a 4/8 limit hold'em limit omaha high game and sit. 3 or 4 hours later, down $100, I head back to the hotel but before stopping at 24 hour dinner called Daisy Dukes. Pretty sure I saw them mircowaving my New Orleans Sampler while the new graveyard waitress tried to figure out the cash register.

Got back to the hotel around 5am to chow down on some gumbo, jambalaya, and red bean something or other.

The Next Morning:

Having stayed up at little late and drinking a little too much, I slept till 3pm and missed the noon tournament. No biggie. I want to play the 6 handed Wednesday.

After wandering around Bourbon Street and eating a catfish po-boy, I head back over to the Casino to play the 9pm tourney again.

Just as we're starting the tournament, I see that the 6 handed was today. Blargh!!!

I play 4 levels of poker before I raise it up with KK and get two callers. The flop is 7 high and its checked to me. I move in and the big blind calls with A7. Blank on the turn, 7 on the river.



GG and I'm headed back to Bourbon Street.
