Important stuff out of the way first, I just got home (3am) and checked NRL.com to find that the Raiders beat the bulldogs 58-18 in Sydney! 2 weeks ago Raiders had lost 3 in a row and were written off from making the finals. Since then we have hit form with an excellent win against the Broncos at home and then a rare away win against the Bulldogs in Sydney and are now just 2 points out of the top 8.
Yesterday was the quietest day of the trip so far, consisting of sitting around the hotel room (Vegas Club), sleeping, watching episodes of Curb your enthusiasm, and playing poker. Only left the room at dinner time to get something to eat. Ive got a minor cold (as does Hui) so it was good to have a quiet one. Last night Me and Andy had a go at playing some higher stakes together online, we played well but got some sick beats and ended up a little in the red.
This morning I got up and played online again, and had one of those sessions you dream about. I played for around 2 hours and made just over $1000. After that we checked out of the Las Vegas Club and into another place just across the road called the Plaza. The first rooms (we booked 2) they put us in absolutely reeked of smoke, but a few hours later we ended up moving rooms which was good. Me and Andy had another go at the 1/2NL game at the Golden Nugget and Hui joined us about an hour in. I worked my $200 stack up to around $450, then made a couple of weak plays which saw me finish $23 down overall for the night. Disappointing to be up that much and then to lose it, but I know where I went wrong so ill try and correct that for next time.
The Sun is coming up now so it must be time for bed. Not sure what we are up to today, but hopefully in the next few days we will book some tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld performing.
