Numb

It's hard to believe that's a word. It is, however, a great U2 song.

It also describes the past seven days in Vegas. Highlights included a bit of reading, PS2, and my back being destroyed from sitting on a very anti-ergonomic sofa. Vacation sucks.

The last poker session I had was among the worst I've ever played. Sometimes I forget everything I've ever learned, and last Tuesday night was one of those sessions.

Wednesday I got a look at Caesar's new card room. It's kind of nice, in that it's new. Has a nice entrance, makes you think you're walking into a nice restaurant or a high-roller room. On the inside though, it looks like they took a small convention room and put in some TV's and tables. The room overall doesn't seem that much bigger than the Bellagio. I neglected to look at the rake, that might have put points in favor of Caesar's. I'll have to wait until the Venetian's room opens up in February, to see which one I like better. I don't play much anymore, so I'm not sure how much it matters.

Didn't play any mixed games while I was here. I guess that's for next time. I did learn that before hold'em dominated Vegas tables, and even Stud before that, most tables in town were dealer's choice.

Anyway, tomorrow I fly back to Houston, for better or worse. Have a good new year's eve, and new year, for that matter.
