Macau

I went to Macau today. Woke up late so I had to take a late ferry over. Was there by 5. Yoyo I'm sorry we should have met up! If it wasn't such a late decision (I didn't plan on going when I woke up). Anyway like I said I made a last minue decision to go to Macau... Nothing was happening in HK cause of Chinese new year.




Ferry ride over.

Went to the Grand Lisboa casino and played hold em. Had several bad hands early on and was almost knocked out but after several hours of work and waiting for the right hands I won all my money back and a small bit more. Stayed for a while but I decided I didn't wanna leave with a negative so I vowed to leave once I was back down to breaking even. After an hour I was back where I started.

I decided that since I had been playing for 5 hours I might as well stop... Plus I broke even so I figured it was a good time to quit.



The grand lisboa interior. If you were playing poker they would give you free drinks like coke or coffee ( which was pretty bad) or according to a good German player I met- beer. However for the strangest reasons he said you have to pay for diet coke.




One of the pros who plays there. I was pretty sure I saw him but can't be sure. I also think I met a famous Korean American pro player but didn't have much time for smalltalk as he left early.





On the ferry back.

All in all I'm glad that I went.
