Poker Retreat !!

I took my parents to Vegas....they loved it....they loved the Glamor, the Shows, the Gambling, the Decors, the Strip....They loved it as much as anyone who visits Vegas for the first time....they were amazed..... :)

I have been to Vegas 3 times now....specially if you go there the 2nd time in a year....there is not much to see and explore....it all pretty much stays the same....Gautam and I had discussed this a lot....Budget for Gambling....we came to some unreasonable amt and we agreed on it....rather I agreed.....I guess I agreed coz I know both of us won't rather can't spend tat kind of money on Gambling.....So it all started.....We finally got to the Poker tables....Gautam started playing and I was sitting behind him yawning my world away.....finally I told him....lemme go to the rest room....and if u win when i am gone....i am going to the room and sleeping as i am not lucky for u....so, I went and got bak and he actually won some money.....I decided to leave.....and suddenly, out of nowhere....as I was abt to leave....I thot....lets play some Poker on a different table....So, I started playing....

I started with $100 chips....and lost a few initial hand....again started yawning my world away....and then as soon as the Dealer changed came a good hand....I started making money.....The pile went from $100 to about $400.....I pushed a guy to come All-in and he lost....well he lost with a face-card pair to my card 2 - trio, that too the last one came as the River card....he was not very happy with me....I lost some and won some.....finally left the table with $300 something....tat was abt $200 up.....I won I won....I won money in Poker.....my Glory moment....winning money playing Poker in Vegas.....I was so excited.... :)

After we got bak...Gautam asked me....wat was the best part abt the trip?....I enjoyed the trip coz my parents loved the place and my Dad made some money playing "Rollette" and "Slots".....My Mom liked all the Hotels we visited and she lost money in "Let it Ride" and made some money in "Slots".....Gautam lost some in "Poker" and made some in "Craps"....oh but the best part was my "Poker Retreat"....my Glory moment.... :)
