another mountaineer story

won a satellite seat there friday night to a 1000 tournament, of course 3 different floormen gave me 3 different answers as if you can sell the seat or not.  was a good field, guy who finished 39th in the world series craig stein was in the tournament (honestly dont know why he would play such a low satellite after winning 165000 a week ago) along with a very talkative annoying lady who took out mark seif on day 1d (this will be on tv she was at a feature table).  the consensus of this kevin sliwinski from the people there was that he was a bad player that got lucky, who knows though.

 

played in a 200 dollar event saturday afternoon and sat next to horse racing owner of afleet alex, i cant remember his name though.  was a real nice guy said he had a horse running that night and wanted to kill time.  said he is good friends with phil martelli (he lives in philly and said martelli is a huge horse racing guy) and knows rick pitino well.  i didnt get nothing this tournament but held on as long as i could and finally went out about 10-15 spots from the money.

I really should head down there and at least check out the room

 

It's about a 2 hour drive for me....

 

 

One of these days I will....but the games by me have been so juicy this summer is crazy....and I just spent a week in Vegas a few weeks back, and Football season is about to start

 

 

LOL

 

 

I will make the trip.....one of these days.

honestly to tell you the truth the cash games there kinda suck they have a lot of 1 2 tables usually 1 or2  2 5 games, if you go you should go for a tournament and if its a big tourney then there will be bigger cash games that 1000 dollar tourney im in is aug 23 and 24th right before football.  they have a schedule of the tournies on their site.

yeah i checked out their site last night

 

I might play that tourney on the 23rd....

ya if you wanna try and get in that tourney cheaper play there 100 dollar satellite the friday night before. id imagine the cash games will be a lot better when that tournament comes.

i'll let you know when i plan on heading down, maybe we will run into each other

 

 

 

youre right it is nick sliwinski, the fact that he won the 3 seats and sold 2 shows he has good money management, and i have played with him, although it has been a while, and i know i have improved, so im sure its possible he did too.  i think he should be really careful out in vegas though, lot of temptation, a young kid that never had that much money could easily think he has an endless supply of cash.
