Well I said that I would write an update on the satellitle and here it goes...

I played 3 hands: We started with 3000 chips 40 minutes levels, slow blinds

First hand of the tourney. I get AKs. Early position raises to 250 (blinds are 25/50). A guy cold calls and I cold call, I guess I could have put a raise out there but thank god I didn't. Board comes J74. First guy bets out and I fold. Guy shows JJ, Flopped top set.

Second hand, Half hour later blinds still 25/50

I have KTs, everyone folds to me in seat 6. I raise to 250. I get cold called by a FISH, and the Big Blind (solid player) calls as well. Board comes KJT. Big Blind checks, I bet 550. Fish goes all in 2500. Then the BB goes all-in 4700. I fold no delay. They both have AQ. Turn came K I would have won. I ask the fish if he would have bet the flop, and he say no. My MISTAKE I should have checked it through on the flop.

Third hand. Hour and 10 minutes in Blinds at 50/100

I am in 6th position. I have 1250 chips left. There are 2 callers in front of me, plus the blinds. I have AA. I push all in 1250. I guy behind me (TOTAL FISH) has 2400 chips. and he just calls. everyone else folds. He show 77. I have one of his suits. That makes me like a 81% favorite. Flop comes 768. I lose and I'm out. 20 minutes later I see the guy walking around the poker room!

We have decided to take the next 3 days off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We are probably going to goto the Grand Canyon, The Hover Dam and take in a show or 2. Shirley says she wants to tan and swim for 3 days but I think will get out and take some pictures to put on here.

If things don't shape up I think we might be headed towards a short stay in Vegas!!! LOL

Kathi, I might have to rename that book, "What not to do for 30 days in Vegas". No we are having fun!! Really we are!
