I went to the Venetian yesterday to play their daily tournament. My friend Gene Castro was at my table. The last two times we’ve been at the same table I’ve been ousted first, always with a pair of KK and have lost both times, so this time, he went first. 208 players, ran very deep but no real monster hands. Then I have AJ of clubs, unraised pot, two callers, flop a four flusher and the turn gives me the nut flush. We get it all in and the turn gave him a straight flush … I just laughed out loud when I realized I wasn’t good on that disguised board and said “I can’t beat a straight flush Sir,” and that was the end of my poker day. Brother in law and a coworker of his got in town last night. I fed them and then we played poker at the kitchen table until 3 a.m. It was fun …
