Saturday has always been a lucky day for me to play poker on the Las Vegas Strip. I don't know if it's a combination of tired drunks who are at the end of an 18-hour bender or a fresh batch of college kids who come to town with their ballcaps on backwards and their sunglasses at the ready, but I've always had food fortune on the weekends.
So I was optimistic when I arrived at the parking deck of Bill's Gambling Hall about 9 a.m. and pulled the Saturn Vue into one of the few remaining spots. I walked down thru Bill's, thru the Flamingo, past the Imperial Palace and into Harrah's, where I had never played poker before. I wanted something different today and found it at Harrah's.
I had to wait about 15 minutes for a seat in a $1-2 No Limit game, but it was worth it. In the fourth hand, I hit a full house and won a nice pot of about $70. I played until 4 p.m., remaining in the plus the whole time, but not without some threatening moments. At one point I was almost back to even, but I won a couple of small pots to stay up around $50-60. Near the end, I won two nice pots in a row (one with three 3s and the other with an Ace high flush) and then I left - with a profit of $143 for the day.
While I was grinding out some profit at poker, Helen did the laundry, relaxed and watched some TV. When I got home, we decided to have takeout from a local deli. We both had delicious sandwiches...a great ending to a great day.
Tomorrow is football Sunday...
