onto San Diego

Got into San Diego yesterday to play a few events at Harrahs Rincon which is about an hour North of SD. $150 cab ride from the airport, that was fun. The place is right near an indian reservation and there are trailers and bad housing just across the street, odd place for a casino, but I guess the tribe owns part of it or something. The room is actually real nice though, I got a step up from the standard room and we are in the Garden part which is just 3 floors overlooking the pool with a small step out balcony. 42 inch flatscreen, really modern decorating , not bad at all. The pool is real nice with hottubs all around it, too bad its 60 degrees. Better than Tunica though, which I'm still sick from.

Karec and I both played the $440 today, we signed up together last night and of course they put us the same table, LOL to random seating. The structure is interesting, they give you a lot of chips, but it goes 25-50, 50-100, 100-200/25, 200-400, so its real fast, just 40 minute levels for the $440, $550, and $770. The $1k does have hour levels, and the $5k on tuesday has a pretty decent structure. So anyway back to today, I busted in the first 40 minutes when I reraised Karec and 2 other players up to 700 with AA, the player who initially called Karec's raise makes it 2200 to go, so I just call. Flop 962, I check, he shoves all in, I snap call, he has QQ, Q river... good game me. I went back to the room got my camera and decided to take a walk around the outside of the casino since its all mountians around it. Took some pictures, and came back and fired up online tourneys. Karec was up soon after, he got AQ all in vs Q9 on a Q78 flop, turn 5, river 6, good game Karec. Pretty dumb, we run good.

Online stuff so far today has been a debacle, I cashed the $200 turbo on Tilt but no cards at the end and out 20th or so, I was top 5 entire way of the Tilt $120 bounty, with 60 left I was 3rd and I raise AQ up to 999 at 200/400. BB calls and he has 22k in front, I had 25k, avg was only 12k at the time. Flop J89, he bets 2400, I Call. Turn is a 3 and he just shoves 19k into the pot, I tank and call, he has AT and gets there on the river for a huge chip lead, such fun. 40 left in the $55 singlerebuy on Stars get a walk with KK in the bb when I Have 10 bigs, very next hand I shove QQ in the sb, bb has AT, gg me, then QQ is no good against TT all in preflop a bit later in the Stars $109, such fun. I did win the $100 3 am turbo the night before we left for SD, that was good for $6k, I ran good there, sucked out 3x late.

Oh yeah, didn't post about the Tunica $10k, I busted day 2 in a $55k flip vs Hoyt Corkins, I got sick after so never got a chance to post about it. I didn't play that many interesting hands anyhow.
