2 hours have passed. My table is noticeably active for so early in such a slow structured event. I’ve been getting cards good enough to play for such an active table and things are going fine. The 20k in chips went up slightly, then down to about 18.5k but now I’m back up to about 21 or 22k. I’ve been playing enough hands that I probably need to tighten up slightly and avoid any bluffing. Observant opponents likely think I’ve bluffed a few times based on my betting frequency. I have a pretty good read at the people at my table (I think) so we’ll see how things go.
On entertaining notes, they opened the event with Wayne Newton coming in with an entourage of ladies in marjorette like outfits, then same in a marching band doing Viva Las Vegas. Wayne announced the “shuffle up and deal!” Which is analygous to boxing’s “Lwtks get ready to rumble!”. I caught it on video with my camera and will see if I can post that later tonight.
Gotta run play some poker now.
