Day 2 - Lets Wander the Pearl

Day 2

Woke up after a wonderful nights sleep back on the high seas. The ocean looks remarkable, as I once remembered it. I don’t feel much rocking, maybe due to me regaining my sea legs quickly, or maybe the ocean is not choppy and/or we are not cruising too fast. Anyhow, I am having an ecstatic time onboard. I am scheduled for Texas Hold’em Poker, Blackjack, Spinning and a massage later in the cruise. I am ready to enjoy myself. First things first, some homework needs to be done. Yes, very sad but I cant disconnect from the world just yet. Will do my best though. After some breakfast and reflection, on my current location, I proceeded to Texas Hold’em.

Let the winning begin!! It is Texas Hold’em time. Tournament game and I am my usual overconfident self. Well, not so fast Nitro. This is Tournament is set up in the casino’s favor, BIG TIME! Buy in was $60 for 1000 in chips, and rebuys, for the first 75 minutes are $60 for 1000 in chips. Blinds went 25/50, 50/100 for 30 minutes each. Next 15 minutes is a killer round with 300/600 blinds. 15-minute break and then the blinds are 5000/10000 for 15 minutes and then jumping to 10000/20000. So to get to the game, I was my normal betting-every-hand self. And not knowing much, I wasn’t getting any cards and I rebought once and was done. Didn’t know much for the game, and ran myself dry. It was a good lesson however. The Blackjack didn’t treat me any better. I wont even get into how Blackjack was ran due to me not being interested in it. So now, it was time for me to head up a few decks to spinning.

Spinning wasn’t anything special. For some reason, during the good songs we were on the down spin of the routine. I worked up a good sweat, but didn’t think much of the routine. I will not be signing up for Thursday’s event.

For dinner, BD and I went to the Asian restaurant. I had the sushi; BD had some delicious Teriyaki steak. Good all around.

Sleep soon occurred afterwards and that was all she wrote.
