Agreed - get yourself to the Venetian, deeper stacks + longer clock and IMHO slightly softer game than at Caesars due to lower proportion of locals. GL.

The trip started smoothly (which makes a distinct change for Chezger) with Jason picking me up from my house at 8.30am. We headed for Manchester, parked the car in the shuttle park and took the bus to the terminal. I then proceeded to ingest enough nicotine to be able to survive for 16 hours.

The flight to Newark was uneventful, as we were in the "you get what you pay for" seats the food was Shiite but we had individual headrest monitors with a variety of films etc to pass the time. Passing through immigration was a chore as the queue shuffled its way towards the jobsworth that is the Department of Homeland Security. Apart from the time it took we had no hiccups.

We had a couple of hours to kill which was of course spent in the bar. The flight to Las Vegas was again uneventful apart from Jason's weak bladder, which caused him to beat a path to the toilets every couple of minutes.

We hit some severe turbulence at one point and the seat belt lights came on and we were told to sit down immediately. That was fine until Jason needed a pee.

"I gotta go" says he
"Then go" says I
"They'll shout at me" says he
"Then tell them it's either let me up or a wet seat" says I

I stood up to let him out and it was as if I had thrown an action switch. The steward rushed for the microphone and repeated the spiel about the light being on blah blah blah. I motioned Jason to get to the toilet and it was going to be a race to see if he would get to the toilet before stickler steward intercepted him. Jason won by a short head. The steward continued towards me, but I had sat down, buckled up and was reading my book. I looked up and he was standing outside the toilet door, obviously waiting to trot out his prepared indignant speech.

Jason must have wanted more than a pee because he was taking an inordinately long time in there, so long in fact that the turbulence had passed and the light went out, thoroughly pissing off the steward who dejectedly stomped back to the front of the plane.

We landed, got to the hotel and checked in with a minimum of fuss, had a quick shower and hit the Casino floor. Being a bit tired we contented ourselves with a bit of 3 card poker and a few beers. I spun $100 up to $400 and went to bed fairly happy just before midnight.

I was determined that I would enjoy my days by retiring around the same time every night and getting up early to enjoy the delights of this city. Obviously after the first night this did not happen.

It was 10.00am when I woke up Monday morning, not quite as chipper as the previous morning. However, as usual, the first discussion of the day was about where we were to have breakfast. My head was saying "Good Idea" but my stomach was saying "No fecking way, I will reject and projectile vomit any foreign substance that tries to get in here"

Because of the time constraint (we were again playing the 12 at Caesar's) we wandered over there and into the restaurant next to reception. I managed to force down an omelette and a couple of cups of coffee and was as right as I ever would be.

11:55 at the table, beer ordered. The game for once was in my favour and I made the first break with 12k, the second break with 20k and the third break with 23k, which was just about average chips.

We reconvened after the break and had a lively table. There was a man from Dublin, with a very strong inner city accent, on the table who told us a story about the night before in the Mirage when he was admonished by the dealer and told it was only English at the table. "I wouldn't mind" says he "but it's my only fecking language".

An American at the same table displayed an innocent ignorance when conversing with a man who had come all the way from Tahiti.

"Do you live in a house" says the American

cue me with the reply "No he lives in a tent on the beach"

"I didn't mean it that way" says the American, who then proceeded to shovel himself deeper into the hole by trying to explain his rationale.

I made the final table (10, 9 paid but everyone tossed in $10 to give the bubble boy some dosh back). I of course was that bubble boy when my creative play in early position was completely misunderstood by the calling station that was the big stack.

Off to Planet Hollywood then for their evening battle, which I did not really enjoy. The main reason I think is to do with the actual position of the card room. Played badly with no real interest and donked out early and retired to the delights of the IP.

I hung out on the three card poker table with Dolly Parton and later with Elwood Blues, lost a wee bit and decided it was much more drink positive to play some limit poker. The usual villains were at the table and there was a collective sigh as I sat down.

"Going to play any two, boy"
"Maybe"
"Sheeeet"
