Vegas so far

Well, the tournament went well. I played about as perfectly as possible, and got to play beside a couple pros. John Juanda and Shannon Elizabeth were both right beside me. John is a really good player, very agressive preflop, but Shannon is pretty bad, from what I saw. She couldn't let her KK go when JJ showed strength on two separate streets with the board QQ5,9..... dummy.

Anywho, I got taken out by John Juanda after he doubled me up when I had AA, and he had 67... but after that, I was way chipped down, and he had 82 in late position and raised, and I had 55 and went all in... board came AJT... looking good... Q... still not bad... then BAM 9 to give him the straight. SOAB!

I was really sad after that, but Lauren cheered me up. We went out for a great dinner the next night, and then to Cirque du Soleil. It was great. I have to go, it's the last night here, we gotta clean up, eat, and then go out for our last great night on the town. What an amazing trip. After losing the $1500 for that tournament, I made $1000 from poker, slots, and some blackjack. I had a blast!
