Played the $ 25 tournament at 10:00 AM at the Gold Coast. Limit for the first hour and then goes no limit. Wish I had know before as I would have skipped this for sure. I remember asking the floor and he said no limit. That was BS.
Off to the Belagio for a satellite to the $ 1000.00 tournament on Wednesdays. By in was $240 and paid the top two. I played my best poker of the week to date, but still got unlucky. Oh well, next casino.
Went across the street to Ceasers Palace. Nice poker room. Played there for 4 hours. Nice run of cards.
7:00 PM was the $100.00 with one re-buy. I played in this. This is the best run tournament I have played since getting here. The blinds are the same as the WSOP and for $220 you start with 4500 chips. Blinds are 40 minutes long. I didn't well here either but will play this one again. It goes off at noon and 7 every day. Noon is not as expensive, but the chips and blinds are the same. Well worth it, and recommend this to everyone.
Notes from Ceasers:
My dealer was the guy who won the employees event number one. Wins over 147K US and comes into work the next day...... Oh and it was not distracting as he dealt, with the bracelet moving back and forth.
Phil Helmuth walks into the poker room and walks all the way around twice so everyone sees him, does not talk to anyone and leaves. I guess he needed his ego stroked.
Left Ceasars around 11:00 PM for the Gold Coast, but didn't want to go to sleep yet, so I went back to the poker room, what a hole! The poker there is the worst I have ever seen. Even if you raised pre flop UTG, there are 9 players to each flop, all are regulars and 8 are over the age of 70. Had the most frustrating game I have ever had. I was sitting in seat 11 and have this guy in seat 3, wannabe biker who couldn't be more than 21 and very very angry. He would yell at everyone when they would suck out on him and laugh when he won. I got sucked out on three straight hands I am steaming and he starts yelling at me. I tell him to go fuck himself as he was not in any of the hands. He absolutely looses it. He gets up and trys to get me fight him right there in the casino. Three extremely big security guards come out of nowhere and dragged him from the casino. Not that this incident was the casinos fault but the whole environment of the poker room was depressing.
Haddon was supposed to meet up with us the very first night.Â
:
Since he gave us the run around for 4 full days, we decided to finally give up on him last night.
I have seen his blog and the recent comments posted on it. This kid is disturbed and a real prick from what I can now tell.
Is there any person here who would vouch for Josh Haddon?
It is to the point where we are strongly considering driving up to his rat-nest hostel and egging the shit out of his face and the new suits he bought.
Apparently he went to Vegas to dodge all the people he owes money to by taking orders, taking money, and not delivering product. I think this sums him up best.

Someone showed me a post on his blog the other day from a customer he screwed over, mysteriously that post is gone and you can no longer post on his blog....interesting?
You should have hit up Bally's 60 dollar game. 5 tables...won that game...tourists are great I also went over to the MGM grand for their 60 dollar SNG's...won several of those too.....I found the games in vegas really bad and I can definitely see why pros make a living there.... :fish:

CBC did not contact anyone at our offices before running the segment. The firm of Madorin Synder in Kitchener are in court with CBC on Libel and Slander and misinformation charges. The kid's band is a shitty french band that fucked up on their proofreading and then flipped when they recieved T-Shirts with their band name spelled wrong. They got their stepbrother at CBC to run on this without the ball and now their in court. In case you care...
Started the the day playing 3/6 at Ceasars till the noon tournament. I was disappointed how I played the day before an used this game to work on a few things......ok just one AGGRESSION.
Played very well and finished 6th out of 145 players that started 8 hours later. Not much to report on this day other than I played poker for 16 hours.

Did I mention this place is a hole.
Oh and btw, I am not really looking for Haddon.

Apparently this is how he does business?

No unusual things to mention.
