Women's Poker Tournament - Experience 32


A couple of weeks ago we met up with some friends at a casino in Gary, Indiana to play in an all women's poker tournament. It was great fun, and 3 of the 4 people who cashed (= won money) in the tournament were from our group, which made it even more entertaining. I came in fourth and won what I had put out to enter plus a bit more. Maybe more important, I gained some good experience playing in a casino based tournament. A trip to Vegas may be in the offing in April, perhaps as a warm up for the World Series of Poker in the summer :)

As I sit snow-bound in Athens, playing in an online tournament on Sportsbook, I dream of bourbon and coke by the Bellagio pool, 5 Spot. I'm glad to hear that things are working well on the poker and health front, and my advice is to keep playing cards as a diversionary tactic until spring. I'm looking forward to playing with you soon, especially if it's a victory hand in Vegas.
