Met up with Lawrence Gosney for a coffee, he's loves it out here but he's bubbled twice so far. Lawrence is a good mate of mine on the poker circuit, he says things the way they are and it very opiniated, maybe he's someone who could be involved with the club?
Not played any poker yet, but I've kicked their asses on the blackjack table for $35,000. That must be over $200,000 in the last 2 years that I've won on Blackjack, unfortunatey I've just re-diverted in into losses on football spreadbetting. The key here is to give the casino just enough action on the tables so that you qualify for a free room, food and drinks. My bill will be about $6,000 so as long as I only lose $5,999 I'm in profit. To qualify for these freebies you have to play for 1hr with an average bet of $500, or 3 hours with average bet of $150. Quite a lot of people think that I should have Blackjack and Roulette in the club to subsidise the poker (as the licence will allow that) but I just think it complicates things, I want to everyone to be focussed on making the best decisions for Poker.
Its 9pm in Vegas and I'm off the the Mandalay Bay for a chinese meal and to see if we can get tickets for the boxing tomorrow night, Lawrence has got a freebies ticket but we'll have to pay. He says its WSOP Bracelet perks!
Spoke to Chubby Nowab in St Kitts today who wants to fly out to Vegas to pay the main event, unfortunately I wont be there as I have loads of meetings next week. I really need to sit down with Nowab and calm him down, he's reckons he's halfway to organising a 500+ player event next year in the our proposed Club (currently a non-inlicenced empty building) with Thomas Kremsner, you can't knock his enthusiam but he's forgot that we won't be open till Dec 06.
Got a text from Nick the Shrew who is in love with the name "The Club" (with a club card as logo), not sure myself.
