Venetian $300+40 event 8 NLHE, and a Weekend on the River

Time to catch up. Last Thursday I played in the Venetian $340 NLHE event. I was chip leader at the second break. Then I won zero chips in the next three levels. Then my KK ran into AA, and then I stuffed with AJo on the button holding 4m's after two limpers and ran into Shawn Rice's KK in the big blind. I take 49th, 27 paid.

That's all for poker, because I'm annoyed with poker right now.

This weekend, however, was absolutely awesome. It was Jared's birthday weekend and seven of us guys headed south to party on the river. Here's the general chronology of the trip:

Launch the pontoon boat in Needles at 4pm Friday with Jared, Nick, and myself on board.
Boat upriver to the Avi casino
Meet 4 more guys, party for a while, play some drunken 2-6 spread limit, put everybody on the boat and float downriver.
Everybody in bet by 3am and up by 11am. What the?!?
Hit rocks at the boat with golf clubs and a hockey stick trying to land them on the roof.
Boat across river and play bocce ball.
Pay Nick $100 to swim across the river (Colorado River... it's wide). Water temp: 52 degrees.
More boating, more fishing.
Jared and Casey did sense killers. Snort a line of salt, squirt lemon juice in eyes, take a shot of nasty tequila, and get boat air horn blasted in ear.

At this point we drove to laughlin, and it was Saturday afternoon. Rest of the weekend pretty much had the same flavor. Good times.

Peace and good luck,

Devo
