Frolf in Pasadena

Yesterday Nick and Ben picked me up and the three of us went to play frolf at a fantastic course in Pasadena. Pasadena seems like Boulder only surrounded by people and smog instead of a bubble. Nick and I tied and Ben finished one back so he bought the first round...only he didn't because he went to bed early. Ben if you are reading this you still owe us. In fact everyone went to bed early because they had their first day of school today (Tuesday). I slept over at Claremont and ate lunch before Nick drove me back to the hotel this afternoon.

Watching the WSOP on tv tonight brought back some (not so) fond memories. In the very first event Paul Sexton was at my starting table playing a lot like me (I even doubled him up with AQ vs AK for 75% of my chips at the time). I know after watching him and a dozen others that me making a big-money televised final table is inevitable and only a matter of time. Seeing Erik Seidel win the 2k NL reminded me that he got a ton of chips from Ross Boatman with 8% of the field left and Ross got most of those chips from me and another player with AA vs AK and KK with 20% of the field left.

I was planning on going back to the Bicycle Casino tonight to play poker but when I called they told me their biggest NLHE game had a $500 max buy-in which is (gasp) no longer exciting enough to get me out of the hotel room.

Tomorrow I fly home courtesy of hated America West. Next stop will probably be Atlantic City in mid-September. There is a slim chance it might be Vegas in a week or two for the WSOP Circuit but the Championship is only scheduled for 3 days which is unacceptable for a 10k event so I probably won't go out there.
