Pre WSOP main event ...

Pre main event practice. ed and i decided to play in
the venetian ($500) tournament, i figured it would
be good practice before the main event as it was a
seepstack event. I got off to a good start from 10k
up to 35k, then everything went wrong, I lost
a lot of races, and busted out 1/2 way thru.

This wasnt the worse thing, as bluff was hosting a
party at the saphire club. I guess most poker parties
seem to be at strip clubs. Got in time for free
drinks, apaprently some stripper dont do coke
contrary to popular belief. Im not sure why ppl
think i am some source of drugs when im out.

Anyway we decided to go back to see Ed in the venetian
and try and get into Tao. At least saphire provide limousine
service to where u want to go. Unfortunately there were
no limos so after complaining a bit, we got the bus ,
and had an english guy who is in an oi band , a fusion
of rock and punk rock and lots of ois ! He was pretty
entertaining, and their band is playing in vegas, might
be worth checking out.

At venetian, ed busts out, but we deal with the most
annoying ppl serving drinks who insist our IDs are
no good, then the security guard who can give you
clearance has lost his ability to laugh, and is a complete
douchebag.

(security guard looking at id)
Friend (who is 35): be careful the ink is strill dry (ie its a fake licence)
security guard just stared at my friend for 20 seconds
Friend: Im only joking
Security guard: we dont joke around here
(more staring)

What is wrong with these ppl ? Anyway ed busts out
in a classic 64 v J4 sb bb conforontation . Try and
get into Tao.

Ok tao has a dress code, and 3 of us have collared
shirts and 2 dont. No shops are open that sell shirts,
so we have to pull the switcheroo. ie. ppl walking
out with collared shirts to give ppl waiting outside,
while ppl inside are shirtless . Tao is pretty
quiet downstairs, tho im the only one who manages
to walk upstairs, is it because im black and they cant see
me ?

head home 6am , with a day to rest b4 the main event ...
