I know, the title of this blog is confusing. Chamba is a new word Jon and I made up as a code word for women that look and act like men. It is really funny, actually. We also witnessed so many prostitutes and hookers that they are now categorized as "stutes & hooks" for short. LOL. Vegas, in a nutshell, was amazingly awesome. It was so good. We had a miserable time with the flights, both there and back, but our time in Vegas made the plane headaches worth it.
Summary of Events: Saturday, I spent at Binion's. I played the Ladies Only super satellite and won the package, which included my entry to the Ladies Only WSOP on Sunday and entry to a LIPS event on July 22, 2007, that I probably cannot make, so I will try and sell the seat.
After that, at 4pm on Sat, I played the $100 Ladies Only Binion's Poker Classic Event. I chopped first three ways at 3 a.m. I thought the tourney was pretty easy, but I did have a few rough patches. Sunday, the WSOp Ladies Event was a DISASTER. It was hot and uncomfortable in the 'tent' that we played in. Further, I switched tables 4x in less than 2 hours. How can I possibly accumulate chips with so many table moves? The pattern was, get my money in with the best, get sucked out, time to switch tables, lol. I did chip up to 4k right away and then lost two pretty big hands, QQ to Aq. and AQ to AK, and then I was out. Monday and Wednesday, I played a 340 and a 550 Venetian Deep Stack events. I went pretty far on Monday, but did not make the money. Wednesday, I believe was my quickest tourney exit ever, 35 min after it started. I lost with JJ twice, AK twice, and 99. It was insane. Twice, my opponents hit sets on me, and twice, I lost to the river. So I spiraled downward from 10k (up to 11k) and then to 2800, when my top pair lost to a set for my tourney exit.
Cash games in Vegas are so extremely juicy. So, so easy. I only played 5 sessions, and was completely card dead in three of them. I had two profitable sessions, one break even and two minor deficiting sessions. But overall, I think the cash games in Vegas are much more profitable than AC. Jon did really well in cash, but he always does well.
We didnt see any shows, but that was expected. We were only at the Rio one day. I really feel like the WSOP is overrated considering the terrible structure and lack of organization. Plus, they treated the Ladies Event like a second class tourney. The tournament director was very chauvanistic. However, I am already looking forward to next year's events.
We ate at some fabulous restaurants in Vegas. We had sushi at Shibuya, French tapas at a fancy french place in MGM Grand, great breakfast at Grand Lux Cafe, american bistro food at David Burke's, which was awesome, and more sushi at Tao. It was so yummy. As for the weather, it was cooking in Vegas, like 100 degrees or more every day....
I had fights with both Harrah's and JetBlue. We were resigned to staying at Harrah's for our trip, because it was the only one of five hotels for which I had comps that was not booked. Neverr again. It was disgusting. It was fake, and gross and old. Bad service, rude personnel, room not made, twice. It was just bad. I will never stay there again. Jetblue, I may just publish the link to the extremely heated letter I will be composing shortly to them.
Future poker plans. Jon and I are so psyched to both play full time. It will be amazing. I cannot wait. The apartment, hopefully, will sell in the next month so we can make plans to move for October 1.
Immediate future. Ladies Only Event at Borgata on June 17, 2007. Cannot wait. What's really great is pros will be in Vegas so this tourney should be really juicy. Tonight, I think we are going to the Club and I will play a tourney there. Jon and I are both goin down to AC on Sunday, but we will be goin down separately.
Lastly, Dragon left for his trek to Vegas today. So good luck Dragon, hopefully we see you at some WSOP final tables!!!!
More later.
Good money and peace,
Lucky C.
