Started out 5/24 at paris. Played 3 hours of 2/4 limit. Took a little to adjust to 5 to 6 to the flop. Hit quad Jacks for a $85 bonus and also finished up $78 more for $163 total.

5/25 (2/4 limit for 5 hours) paris had no action so I went over to bally's which is has barely better competition, but the game is even bigger lottery the bally's with 7 to the whole table going to the flop and at least 5 to the turn and 3 or 4 showing down. This took me time to adjust to. You can expect bigger starting hands to have any chance of winning. Str8's and flush hands would wining the majority of the time. Once I made that adjustment I got back to just $60 or so down from about $120. (Side note: wife won almost $1300 on slot machine so my small loss went over well)

5/26 (2/4 limit for 9 1/2 hours bally's) Pretty much same type of game as day before. Lottery type play. Was flotting around even most of day. Was fun and drink made up for lack of winnings. Went down about $120 at 1 point on bad run of big hands losing to bigger hands (ie king high flush against ace high flush with only 3 flush cards on board). Got on huge rush towards the end and finished only down $30.

5/27 Played in the paris 1:30pm tourney ($70 $2000 chips). Blind structure is crazy fast. 15 minutes. 50/100 100/200 200/400 500/1000 1000/2000 2000/4000. Played very tight (not by choice. didn't see any cards) and got to final table in 1 hour. Finish 4th out of 40 (top 3 pay). Then played 2/4 for an hour and finished up $33. So ended up barely $30. Must have had close to 30+ beers which you should really count as profit.
