Heading To Vancouver

I am heading over to Vancouver tomorrow morning. I am taking the ferry of course. I know a lot of people who live on the island bitch and complain about the ferry but to me its so relaxing. I usually take a book, grab something to eat and relax for 95 minutes. Sure it costs around 60 bucks but hey that's a price I am willing to pay to live where I do. My only complaint is there is no Wifi on the ferry as then I would bring my laptop and spend the time on that. Maybe someday that will happen

I will be staying about a block away from the River Rock Casino (couple pics above). I have played there a few times and it still has the distinction that I had the weirdest chop pot I have ever been in in all my years of poker playing.

I got dealt KK in a cash game. 9 players at the table. 1/2 NL. If I remember right I bumped it to 15 preflop. Got 2 callers. Flop comes 444. Yep that's right. I got a boat. Almost 50 bucks in the pot. I decided to jam with my remaining 120 I think. Guy two over insta called (has me covered and the other guy went into the tank before folding (said he had A 10 later). Guy who called flips over pocket queens and says what do you have Aces. I said nope and flipped over my Kings. Looking great. Turn is an Ace. Still looking awesome. The River is.............. another 4. Yep we played the board and chopped. If any other card had come on the turn even a Queen my King would have played. The table was stunned for a second and then of course a big wow went up. A few players from another table behind us came over to see what the fuss was. It cost me a few dollars but at least I guess I didn't lose. I will never forget that hand.

Hopefully I will get over to The River Rock while I am there. My non poker playing son and wife are coming down and I am spending the weekend with them and the kids (I have a poker playing son too). So not a lot of time for poker but I might try and sneak away for a tournament or cash game if I can. I heard they have moved the poker room which was perplexing to me as before it was upstairs in a great location. Now supposedly its across the street separate from the casino...... Pretty weird but I will check it out if possible.

Heading over tonight to play in my league poker tournament so I will get my daily fix of poker...........

I am not sure if I will be taking my laptop with me. I have to check and see if the hotel has free Wifi( I detest paying for it).

Be back Monday.
