Rematch time.
I'm getting ready to throw myself into the moshpit better known as the poker room at Pearl River Resort, I've been just taking it easy all day in the room because I'm lazy like that. We all went to bed last night at about 7 am and we were supposed to check out at 11, at 11:30 the maid comes and knocks on the door and asks us if we're staying another night. The front desk said they were completely sold out and that they very rarely, if ever, have any cancellations.
We realize that we have to pack our shit and get up and move to another hotel when Billy says, "Why don't we just say one of us is sick and can't get out of bed, and they might give us another night."
Shawn laughed a bit and said "buddy, they said they have no more rooms, none... but if you want to try and call them, go ahead."
I was half-asleep, still in bed at this point when Billy picked up the phone and told the hotel-lady that one of us were really sick and was having the shivers really badly and we'd need some help moving him out if we have to check-out today. He said that he could offer her some money if that would help! Two minutes later he had gotten us an extension of the room. Since this moment, Billy is my hero.
I played some tournaments online, came real close in a $109 rebuy on PokerStars that I ultimately finished 10th in for $570 and won a bit in the cashgames, somewhere around $1200. I'm now headed down to the casino after Shawn gets out of the shower. I've been shadow-boxing in the shower while humming the theme-song for "Rocky" getting myself ready to school these donkeys. If I lose tonight too, I might start playing something else. Scrabble, no-limit Yatzy... the options are endless but one thing is for damn sure if I can't win against these people I can't win at all. It's personal now.
It's kind of funny looking at the 3/6 game that they have down here, people have like four or five racks of chips ($400-500) to play a 3/6 limit game! The way these people play they need every god damn chip they can get. I would honestly be thoroughly surprised if they even look at the damn cards before they decide what to do.
I'll update it later if I make it out of this alive. Over and out.
