Checked into Imperial Palace on Friday night. Not where P-Diddy stays when he's in town, nor in fact where Paris Hilton stays, despite what some would have you believe.
My first reaction, actually, was that I was going to need a tetanus shot. The girl at the counter wanted a $500 security deposit from my epassporte card. I refused. I was already paying $300 up-front for the room. I could go in there with a Gatling gun and a can of spray paint and not do $800 damage to an Imperial Palace hotel room. So she went to a manager and they made the deposit $100.
As for the poker, I guess it could have gone better. I lost over three buy-ins within 24 hours in a variety of ways. It finished at the Venetian when I got it all-in preflop with rockets:
Villain: Ooh, I flopped a set!
Highwaytime: Yeah, you did, didn't you.
Suddenly I was out $1,000 that I had possessed only the day before. I was seriously short on roll. So instead of risking it all at once I went home and put $300, which was all my poker money, on Full Tilt.
The good news is that I have run that up close to $1K in the past few days playing low-stakes PLO. I'm probably going to stay online for the rest of this month at least and see how far I can take it.
July to-date: $1,591
