I had business last week in the midwest on Monday morning so I went to Tunica on Friday night as they had a WSOP Main Event on Saturday. Cold and wet. I got to my room, threw my stuff in and headed to the poker room. Got to my room at 2:45 a.m. and it was FREEZING. Called the front desk and they mumbled something about maintenance but since I was playing the Main Event at noon I didn’t want the hassle. Took the covers from the other bed and doubled it up and got some sleep. Next day when I left I put the heat on high. Played Day 1 and returned to my room. “Heat” was still running but blowing like air conditioning. It was unbelievably cold in the room, what to do, didn’t want to wait on maintenance if they would even show up at that time, didn’t want the hassle of moving rooms and wasn’t about to undress and freeze to death. Took off my shoes and slept in my clothes, jacket and all. Had to laugh at the image of those who think my life is all luxury .. but it worked, they did fix it the next day. My Tunica adventure. Ha.
