sub’s bday
I’ve been ridiculously busy lately with a trip to Utah/Arizona, WSOP stuff, going back to Philly for the weekend, etc. I have a bunch of trip reports to type up and now I should actually have the time to do it. I don’t have any trips planned for awhile although I expect one or two might pop up. I just don’t have anything booked right now.
For a short trip report, yesterday was yellowsub’s birthday (happy 24) so I spent part of the day hanging out at sub’s house for the last time. He is moving out of his sick mansion today. Ozzy was over there with us as well. We basically just sat around at the pool, drank champagne and relaxed. Then, after a shower, we went to the Hard Rock to have dinner at Nobu. My business partner Mike and his wife Michele joined us, along with a number of other poker players. The CCR ended up being interesting. There were something like 11 cards in it (I bought out because I get much cheaper stuff at Nobu than those guys). Mike and sub both had two cards in the mix because of their wife and girlfriend. Mike and sub are both pretty convinced that they are very unlucky at flipping. As we went through, everyone was getting their cards back except for Mike. Finally it was down to three cards: Mike’s two cards and this guy named Tom. Tom is a british poker player who was in the sub mansion for the summer and the bill was actually a bit more than he’s comfortable gambling for. And while Mike definitely has the money to stomach the loss, he rarely CCRs and he was sweating the bill pretty hard. I’m pretty sure this was the biggest bill he’s ever CCRed for. So Mike’s card gets picked with three left and they’re down to heads up. Then it’s my turn to pick the last card and after sub separates the cards under the table into each hand, I do the ever-tricky “right hand… [pause] does NOT pay”. Mike’s second card was in sub’s right hand. So after getting his two cards to last into the final three, Mike sucked out to not pay the bill. He was, to say the least, relieved.
So after that we went to get some ice cream. It only took us four tries to find an open place but we ended up at the Coldstone by Sunset Station. Here’s a picture of sub at the Coldstone:
After that we went back to the mansion, hung out in the hot tub for a bit and then I went home. Fun day.
And like I said above, some trip reports coming soon, I think.
