Weekend

Haven't had a lot to blog about as I have not played much poker lately. I had a nice weekend vacation to Lutsen to do a little skiing and remembered that I am just not as young as I used to be. Had a relaxing time even though I managed to wipe out for the first time in several years. Also the weather didn't cooperate the best as it rained all day on Sunday. I did stop at the Black Bear Casino for the first time since they have redone it and it was quite impressive. Tried their buffet and it was one of the best in MN as far as casinos go. Had decided to play a little cash poker and walked over to the room to check it out and found them to have one 2-10 spread game going with 2 on waiting list so figured I didn't have enough time to wait. I went and played blackjack instead and not more then 10 minutes in a roar comes from the poker room as the bad beat goes out with aces full of queens losing to quad queens. $28,000 to the loser, 14,000 to winner and almost 2000 for the table share. Guess I should have gotten there sooner and played poker! It was a wasted trip as I won $100 on blackjack and left the casino a winner. An hour later, I was at the casino in Hinkley and once again wanted to play poker, but not a person in their room, so off to the slots to donate my winnings!
