Saturday OFC

I couldn't get up for spinning, but I did make it to Outdoor Fitness Camps this morning. I stopped by Ocean's 11, where I haven't showed myself in like 3 years. I wanted to see what the poker boom did to the casino, and to see people's reaction at my resurrection. They've opened up the tournament room on a permament basis for the low-limit ($1/$1, $1/$2) NL games. They've done a reasonable, but cheap job of trying to make the room something like the Bellagio poker room. Meaning they put up faux-architectural columns, moldings, wallpaper, and oil paintings of 19th century Parisian street scenes. But mostly, you see a bunch of tables of young posers losing small sums of money to bad beats and the $4 rake on a $1 blind game.

Of course, I lost $41 USD, and a few hours of sleep I would have gotten had I driven directly home. It was nice to remind myself why I don't go to these rooms anymore. I saw a bunch of faces that look just the same. Colin was working the floor now, and Carla is a dealer (but probably still a maniacal omahalic). Josh is still alive and working graveyard floor in the low-limit room. (He thought maybe I fell off the face of the earth.) Mike (Mohammad) saw me and was really keen on having me take a look at some new game, and analyzing it. He's pretty exciting about it, because he thinks there may be an edge that no one knows about. I love looking at these kinds of things, and it may end up being interesting. I gave him my email address, and asked him to send me the details, because I was really tired from the long day and drive, and wanted to get home as soon as I either doubled up or went busted. Acutally, someone else went busted, and we broke the game, which I took as an excuse to get home by 2 am.

OFC was a good workout this morning. In the picture above is Mike, Angie, Sherrie, Kirsten, me, and Randy, who ran the session with Jason. I didn't have time to run before class, but I skipped breakfast (just ate an apple), and held off on Tacos El Gordo, and instead had 1 1/2 tofu salad rolls and a chicken leg and wing. I'll try to get out of the house and keep busy for the rest of the day. After I take a nap.
