Had a rough poker day yesterday with KK losing to 55 and AA losing to 22, it happens I know but sort of brutal. Last night friends who are teaching the WPT Boot Camp text and asked me if I was in town. They have a lady there attending who is there because of me. Said I’ve been her inspiration. They asked me if I could come by and say Hi. I told them I was playing today at Venetian but if bumped out, I would try to go by. I was bumped out, ran my chips up then got tired of a guy pushing on my left. Finally I reraise my 66 only to run into 77. Oh well, I could have played that better.
My mood was one of berating me for letting him get under my skin. I get my car and decide I might as well stop downtown at the Nugget. I don’t go to downtown Las Vegas much, don’t know my way around and don’t feel especially safe. Both valets were full so I am reduced to self parking. I don’t like nor do I do parking garages. I had to talk myself into going in there, parking and trying to find where everyone was at the Bootcamp. When I walked in the tournament was in full force. My friends took me straight over to a very nice lady who had her back to me. I tap her on the shoulder and say Hi I’m Nancy Todd. She said meeting me had been on her bucket list. Now that my friends turned a rough day into a beautiful one. I dare say that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I’ve never been on anyone’s bucket list, but boy am I flattered. Talk about changing my mood … sweet
