LV: A Fool and His Money...

...are soon parted. But Nancy and Bill didn't raise no fool! Has been a wild day in Vegas. I played in the 10:00 a.m. Binion's holdem tournament, played till 1:00 p.m....and finished in a Tie for First. Nice! For you non-tourney FROTB, the final three of us all had about the same amount of chips, so we "chopped"--combined the prize monies for first, second, and third and split them evenly. So for Texas Holdem I've:
played 5 tournies
made 3 final tables
cashed 2 times
finished T-1 once
Not bad.

Barely had time after the 10:00 a.m. tournament to dash back to Main Street, grab lunch, then dash back for the 2:00 p.m. tournament. At the Garden Court buffet, had a great lunch. Talk about variety! All these things I NEVER eat at other times.... Salisbury steak, cottage cheese, custard pie, chocolate brownie, deep fried cod, etc. Vegas is all about OPTIONS...which is why the best card players---and those who love great food and wine---end up, in the end, coming out on top.
