End of a Good Thing
Thursday, November 03, 2005
Genoa, why hath you forsaken me! I received an email today from Genoa Club. They are under new management. According to the email, that means that they will be renovating the room, putting in plasma tvs, and ENDING THE DAILY TOURNAMENTS!!!
That's right. It's over Johnny, over. I even called the owner to confirm.
So, what does this mean for me? Well, no poker tourneys on a whim. If I want to play on a whim, it'll have to be online, in a home game, or 1/2 NL. I like 1/2 NL at casinos, but at Genoa, I found it unbareable.
Ironically, the last time I was there, I overheard the owner and an Italian looking guy talking about how to run the place. The Italian sounded like he was going to buy the place out. I non-chalantly said to dealer Joe that it sounded like the Italian (as I said it, "that guy over there") is trying to buy the place. Joe glanced over and said curtly, "No way. He's already an owner." Now, he must've not realize who I meant. Or maybe the Italian was buying out his partners. But whatever the case, I had a feeling shit was going down.
It's a sad sad day in Jordan's poker world.
In other news, we are down to our FINAL FOUR in the HUC2! The four consist of Drizz, PokerTwitch, the High Plains Drifter, and 100-2-Infinity. I congratulate each and every one of them and wish them luck in the Round of Four.
That's all for now. See ya!

Actually you win $50 at the very least, which really only amounts to $25 (because we are paying our $25 buy-in at the end directly to winners). But win the next round and take homw $100 ($75 profit). Win that and take home $200! Lucky you!
