Tourney results from Las Vegas trip so far

#1 11-07-2006, 3:30 AM

Last night I had my first cash in a live (as opposed to online) tourney. After five hours of play, I came in 10th out of 171 players to win $120, which was not quite twice the buy-in. I did tip the dealer. Had hoped to make it further in the money since the payscale increases substantially, but it was not in the cards for me.

This morning I played another one and came in 16th out of 70, missing the money. I'm headed downstairs for a third shot in a few minutes.

Viva Las Vegas!

I'm playing a slots tournament tomorrow, LOL... total silly luck, I know, but I've always thought they look like they'd be a hoot.

I finished poorly in last night's tourney but may try again tonight, depending on how tired I am.

Lesson learned: Don't leave the hotel during summertime! I took a long walk in 100 degree weather today to find an ATM that didn't charge larcenous fees to withdraw. Mission accomplished, along with some bargain-priced snacks, but I returned exhausted with headache, sunburn, and blisters.

Still having fun, though.

Sounds like you are still having fun Roundcat. Good luck in your next tournament. I'm not sure where you are staying but they do have a rail system there(if it is still up and running. I know they had problems for a long while with it.) too stinking hot this time of year there to walk miles

We found the LV bus system is great for travel up & down the strip and even to downtown. They even have a tram/monorail thingy that covers half the strip. Well worth the 2 bucks or less.
