Terrible Casino Experience/Almost Doesn't Count

My coworkers decided it would be a good idea to check out the new Snoqualmie Casino that was built out here so they set an email and set everything up to go on Friday night. Needless to say I had a life tilt story about the casino. We get to the casino and when I first walk in I was like man this place is nice. You can really tell that they put a lot of money into the place. I think walking in was the best thing that happened because what ensued next tilted the sh!t out of me. I was hungry before I got there but I knew that they had a sushi place there so I was like I will wait to eat. First, I go to the back of the casino and grab a pager from the poker room and have to give them my id while I hold the pager. There looked like there was going to be around a 45 minute wait for me to play. Which brings me to my first rant of the place. How are you going to be a brand new casino and only have 10 poker tables. Hmm I guess poker players don't make the casino's enough money to start with a bigger room. So I go to walk back over by my coworkers who are playing slots lawl. I don't know how people can play slots it is the most mindless form of gambling ever and they are not even as cool as they use to be because you don't get to hear the coins trickle out ;-). After spending some time with them and having some drinks I was like hey I am hungry let me go to the sushi place. Boom I walk to the sushi place and the line is kind of closed and I was wondering why but my stubborn ass opens the line back up. I am then told that the line was closed because the sushi place was about to close. Thats strange you guys close at 1am so why are you shutting the line down 1/2 hr early. Not to mention how small the sushi area was and the line was kind of long. I was like alright I will go ask some people to order my food and I will pay a little bit for their food. I convince some people to do this for me and they are seated at their table. I decided I was going to get the Spicy Tun and Rainbow roll and what the hell these people were nice a bottle of saki. Cool the lady comes by takes our order and then it takes a little bit but the saki, their soup and edamame all come out. Cool I start talking to them and taking shots. Ok even though it takes a long time for their sushi to get made but it finally gets there and they starting to eat it. "I feel bad for eating in front of you ." was the quote I remembered directly but I was like it is cool my food is about to get there in a second. Ok so they all finish eating their food and I am just drinking this bottle of sake and I am like where the hell is my food. Umm its no where to be found so the lady goes back and tells the cooks and then they start making it. Then they put it in a to go box and put it on top of the refrigerated thing where they keep all the fish. All good but someone still needs to grab the box. So I let another 20-30 minutes to go buy because I want to see how incompetent these people are. Well I finally say something about that probably being my food and he was like oh it is they never said it was ready. I was like "WHAT!" I almost went off the deep end and talk to a manager and have the people cosign with me. After bitching and moaning I got my food for free but had to pay for the saki and still let some money on their bill. Oh well at least the sushi was pretty good and the saki had me feeling a ok. Did you notice that during this whole time I am going through this which is like close to a couple of hours that I did not get a page from the poker room. WTF so I go over to the poker room and was like man I never got paged. He was like "I personally paged this think" so I take the pager out of my pocket he pages it as a test and the page goes through. Hmm thats very weird the pager never went off the whole time unless I didn't feel it in my back pocket vibrating but I have done this before and I KNOW I would of felt it going off. Lawl! So the whole trip to the casino I had to wait for eternity for my food and I was starving and I never got to play poker after waiting for my food and not getting paged. Oh well it must of not been meant to be but, I TILTED THE HELL OUT OF ME J;ajkdja;f;jkakjejk;! By this time my coworkers are back and ready to leave and they were mystified about my crazy experience because they were off playing slots having fun and I was getting pwned by Snoqualmie Casino sigh.

Yesterday I played the Daily Thirty Grand and pretty much had my deepest run ever. I was happy with my play but I think that I might of did a gambling kind of call to make a run for the tournament. Here is the hand:

Maybe it was not the right move to make a call but he was getting more aggressive, I think I am ahead of most of his range from what I saw on past hands and, if I win this pot I have a lot of chips and can do damage and go for the win. I know that the pay at the final table is so much better so I took the shot finished 127th after getting sucked out on the river. Oh well maybe next time. I really though it was gonna be the big score but everybody knows almost doesn't count :-). I plan on putting in some volume after the Broncos vs. Falcons game I am about to go over to my coworkers house right now so it should be fun since he is a Dirty Bird fan boooo. Go Broncos!
