As readers of this blog should know by now (ie me), I have another passion in life, and that is playing poker. And what better place to do that than in Vegas?
Unlike triathlon, I'm actually not that bad at poker. In fact I have actually won quite a bit. Unfortunately I've also spent all my winnings, mainly on my triathlon habit. Specifically on buying stuff that match my shoes. My name is Issi and I'm a Tri-aholic.
I won $200 in my first tournament, which I spent on a fantastic tri suit that matches my shoes.
The second tournament wasn't so good. I bubbled with AK offsuit when shortstacked. No, I don't know what that means either.
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth tournaments were a bit of a blur, and I don't remember that much about them to be honest. I do know that I bought a whole load more triathlon-related stuff without having to resort to a credit card once, so it couldn't have been bad. None of the items were a Bianchi so it couldn't have been that brilliant either.
I then won $200 on my last tournament, which I spent on some new running shoes. They're the wrong colour.
But I didn't just play poker and shop.
Improvement - training - swimming. 5k circuits. running to another state in another state.
All you can eat buffets followed by free yoga. Double wind-relieving posture not recommended.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? (Tattoos, extra weight from buffets, foot injury). Football.
Poker. CS not lasting longer. Bubbled with AKo when shortstacked (no, I don't know what that means either). Finally CS did last longer. Finished slightly up on the poker. I finished slightly down, but it's the taking part, not the winning. As no poker player said. Ever.
Kurt lucky $20.
Run across the desert. Run across the hotels with lululemon athletica people.
* When I say "magic", I actually mean four grand.
