….September treated me rather well , I played A LOT. I played every day mainly at the HH room(code name not real name of room). Was close to making 2k that first week. It felt great. I then decide hey I want to go to winstar and give it yet another go. I decided to go on Sunday as I was driving back home from the HH Saturday night. I got home, got on the forum and had a private message from IOJ. He was drunk and clamoring about going to winstar on Sunday morning. I told him to call me to discuss going. He responded with I am wasted I will call you in the morning around 9-10.

So around 10:15 he calls me I just had a filling breakfast at IHOP and was walking out the door and talking to him, he decided to meet me outside the IHOP and we would go from there. Not knowing what car he drove besides his self proclaimed “old hooptie” I was looking for a 1960-70’s chevy or ford or something. About ten minutes after talking to him a 1968 Chevy Z28 totally restored pulls into the parking lot, I was thinking sarcastically “ya Jonny what a piece of shit”. The car left just as quickly and I considered calling IOJ, begging him to come back for me. Then reality hit that there was no way he got to IHOP that fast after telling me he still needed to get dressed etc.

IOJ shows up and we are off to Winstar World Casino! We had a few conversations about poker and Dallas poker but nothing earth moving, or unknown to the general masses. We mainly talked about his bar that he is trying to open. And how we would correct the worlds energy problem. We came up with a simple solution and checked and rechecked the physics behind it scribbling down formulas on a few separate paper napkins, we had in our hands the working version of cold fusion, all we now had to do was get in in the hands of Val Kilmer and we could deliver this solution to the world!

So we get to winstar and we both play 1-2NL. I get raped repeatedly. End up down $800 and decide to go sit out for a while. I make a few phone calls for various things. then end up calling Jim to see what he was up to. I tell him I want to come out there in October etc and play in Vegas again and he was cool with that. And he agreed that cold fusion was the wave of the future. He wanted me to fax over the formulas for safe keeping but seeing as how he lost all of our data on our previous wind catching experiment that he logged for us for at least 6 years I did not trust him to hold on to this information as it might fall into the wrong hands. After talking to Jim I decide to get back in the action and play some more cards.

I ended up getting seated at IOJ’s table and made a few bucks, and cashed out. IOJ had left the table eariler and went to go to play video poker cause he knows its a skill game, then he played some 2-5nl and really ended up playing 2-5 PLO. The man is an animal. He likely happen to be able to capitalize on people having second nuts and him having the nuts. I watched him play for a few rounds and I was surprised at the jolliness of the table. Also note to self dont hold your cards up in the air like the goofy asian lady was doing so that the thug life cool hip hop Indian (dot not feather) guy can look down the line and see your cards. IOJ had almost 4 times what he bought in for sitting in front of him so I knew it was a good session and that I would see a windfall from this since I backed him. He went and cashed out and I asked for my share … He laughed and explained that I sucked at cards. After taking in this news it dawned on me, backing doesn’t mean sitting behind someone watching them play it means actually financially investing in someones play… “doh”… oh well I will know better next time.
I did the ride of shame home once again from winstar a loser. But whatever, like a gambler I guess I now believe I am due for a win. I will likely hit up the HH again this week a few times and try to recover my loss at winstar. I really need to break above the 4k mark on my 10k challenge, and losing $600 at winstar is not helping me.

Some side notes:

1. Winstar is supposedly opening a new hotel and casino behind the tent.

2. that fake building structure they are building in front of their tent, they realized that it looked like ass and stopped making it. (but it doesn’t appear that they are tearing it down just yet. (what a bunch of morons I mean really they could have made the structure on one section seen that it was going to look retarded and then tore that down .. but noooo they had to build the scaffolding for the entire length of the complex, then put that facing up in one section, then decide it was ugly. That was likely a lot of 50 cent antes from the black jack tables flushed down the drain).
