First 24 hours at World Series of Poker

The new Amazon room is awesome. Harrah's transformed a warehouse room of tables into a landscape that tips its hat to WSOP champions past and present. The room is decorated with giant screens of past World Series winners as if it were the crown molding of the room. In the cash game area there is a walled off section of tables for high limit play. Yesterday I saw Men the Master playing what looked like a variant of Chinese Poker.The wall is waist high giving the players room and some privacy but still allowing the public to see who's in there.

I ran into Gavin straight off and he looked great. He's lost some weight, has a new girlfriend and is in top spirits. I haven't seen him in a long time but he wished me happy birthday and said barbaques are on the front burner. I can't wait to meet his girl, and am so happy for him.

Yesterday there was a fair commotion about a new deck of cards being used at the series.

Here's Daniel talking about it on Poker News. The good news is that Harrah's acted quickly and swapped them out before the dinner break. You can see Daniel's video blog on RawVegas.tv.

Yes, the cards were awful, it was like playing with two different decks. Small numbers to look at on your hand and big numbers in the middle of the cards on the board. See how confusing that sounded?

Well, I prefer to be naughty and get my holiday. Well it serves me right. I think we don't have to work pretty hard to get lots of money. Let money work for us :)

I'm not hunting any job when I have holiday. It's time to get some rest.
