Poker?

One of my dear friends, cheech, asked "why is there no poker on your blog?"  i want to discuss poker and poker, and poker-related topics, certainly, but at the same time poker does not define me.  also, i am not sure how specific i should be getting.  do win/loss amounts or specific hands even interest people?  i have good days, and bad days at "work", just like everyone does.  my "bad days" take money from my pocket though, unlike the vast majority of americans (or for that matter, the rest of the world).  anyway, here i sit in the sands regency reno parking lot, 8-tabling at this very moment!  generator is on, so there is AC and computer.  its a bit strange to be playing poker online under the noses of all these casinos, but its certainly the +EV play!  i want to give some props to the sands before i continue:  the place looks incredible compared to the last time i was here, and reno as a whole has definitely undergone a face-lift.  also, the sands was the only casino of the six(?) we called that allowed us to park in their (huge) lot.  yes, the "recession" is hitting on ALL fronts.  ((wow, i just sucked out like a total chimp...runner runner straight...$422 pot)).

so, rachel and i both got a free $5 slot play for joining the bonus club.  we had to join in order to park the rv.  you must bet $1 of your own money, but then you get $5 more free play.  we sat at the star wars slot machine, and only rachel played.  she put in $10, and hit max bet ($3), and hit a $30 winner!  that is a huge result in my book, as i, like any good nit, am aware of the massive -EV of slots.  i MADE rachel cashout when she finished her free play (now she "feels bad" for the casinos, since we are "getting free parking", and "taking their money"  lolol, uh huh...i feel really bad too!)

we are off to get the "awful awful" burger...reno's best burger.  rach is not quite so interested, now that she found it was a half-pounder!  maybe they have a kiddie burger too...
