Well we arrived just outside Denver around 5:00pm local time. Driving through the rockies is pretty amazing. The hotel we are staying at is actually in the mountains, we have some pictures but I can't put them on this hotel lobby computer. We are actually in a town call Rock Falls, CO the whole town is like a mini-vegas. It is just like 8-9 casino's inbedded in the Rockies.

The poker action here is EXCELLENT. The only problem is that the big game is 5-5 limit. Like I said in a BLOG entry a couple days ago, the maxium bet in the state is $5. But When playing holdem they have 1 bet and 5 raises, so you can make it to $30 bucks on every street. Something alittle different but it is good! For the poker players out there, I was wondering what your thoughts were on having the PF, Flop, turn and river bets the same. It is nuts cause if you think you have the proper odds to call the flop, you have to call the turn!

Anyway we played for awhile after we got here probably for 4 hours or so. I did pretty good made $475, and Shirley did ok as well, making $85. I went to bed around 11:00 and crashed pretty hard. We just got up and it is 9:00am. Once I'm finished this BLOG entry we are going to check out the "strip" then probably play some more. The poker room doesn't open until 10:00am so we have an hour to kill.

Well Shirley just showed up and is ready to go, I'll try to write another entry tonight after our day of poker. Then it is on to Vegas!
