So I finally was able to attend my first ‘world series’ in Phoenix. As most of you know, I always go to Tampa for the Fall Classic, a men’s baseball tournament every November. The equivalent to that is the World Series in Arizona. Way to far from Atlanta, but living in LA, it’s only a 90 minute flight. Flew there Wednesday morning and pitched Wednesday afternoon. The complex was nice – The Seattle Mariners complex in Peoria. I threw just ‘ok’, but walked a few more than I would have liked. Oh well.
Played some cards (shocker) at one of the cardrooms near there – Wildhorse I believe it was where they didn’t have any no-limit so I found myself sitting at a 4-8 limit game where I won a couple hundred until finally moving to the 8-16 game, which was the highest they had. Won just like $50 there but the play was very loose. Nothing eventful other than a promotion they have – Aces and Faces. Between 8pm and midnight, at the beginning of every hour, if you’re dealt either aces or JJ, QQ or KK and they are cracked, you get $200. Sure enough, right at 8pm, like the 4th or 5th hand, I pick up hooks. The board shows AAK and I’m virtually guaranteed of having them cracked. So I lost about $40 on the hand, but netted about $160. Neat promotion. Netted $430 on the night.
Maybe I should just give up baseball. Um, no. Tampa up next late next week. Hollywood Park NL$500 event tomorrow night.
