I find that the time I'm spending in our house is becoming increasingly more rare, and the number of updates to this blog is a direct result. Here's the condensed version of today's drama:
- Barry Greenstein gets moved to my table about an hour into the $2k NLHE WSOP event, and I get my JJ against his 77 allin preflop to bust him in the second hour. Barry is a great guy and a total class act; he gave me a signed copy of his book (which deals with lifestyle and bankroll management for poker players) and even wrote down the details of the hand I busted him on inside the front cover. Today Barry became the standard by which I now judge every "famous" poker pro. The guy is awesome all around.
- I built up a nice stack in the first four hours, then lost most of it in a marginal spot taking a stand against a very LAG player who happened to flop a big hand. This hand somewhat crippled me (more mentally than actually), and I busted soon thereafter.
- Took my first shot at the 10/20NL game at the Bellagio today, which has an uncapped buyin. Most of my table was either solid/TAG or solid/slightly-LAG, but two players clearly stood out from the rest. The first was an extremely passive calling station fish with a $15k stack, and the other was a maniacally aggressive asian guy in his late 40s who was playing about 60/55 in our 9-handed ring game. This guy was crazy and would raise almost every hand while never folding to any size 3-bet preflop -- the only hand he entered preflop and folded without seeing the flop was to a $10k limp/raise/reshove over his $1800 4-bet; he folded QQ face up after almost 3 minutes of thought. Did I mention he was sitting with >$35k? I took a stand against him a few times and ended up about $1600 by the end of the session.
- I registered for the $1500 NLHE WSOP event starting Saturday @ noon (which is in 7,5hrs btw). I don't really like tournaments, but my anti-tournament front folded to the peer pressure from Meyvis, Serge, and others. GL me!
- Our landlord basically says he wants to evict us for bullshit reasons that are entirely his problem; there is/was literally nothing we could do about it and there were no terms in the lease agreement we signed which describe the reasons he's giving to try to kick us out. Our house is in a nice neighborhood (but not a gated community) which apparently doesn't allow its property owners to lease any houses in the area. Our landlord told us to lie to anyone who asked, saying we were personal friends of his staying there for a short period of time, but somehow one of our neighbors found out about us and complained. Again, none of this was in the lease agreement we signed, and NV state law apparently allows us to sue for custody of the house for the duration of the agreed upon leasing period if he tries to do anything rash like evict us. Two of my housemates are law students, and this may prove beneficial in the near future. All of this drama is only about 5hrs old anyway, so we'll see what happens. GL us?
