Off To Atlantic City I Go...

After a very, very long weekend this week, I had plans to go to Atlantic City for a couple days with my Mom and Dad and Cheyenne. Things have not changed through out my Family...My Grandparents always going to Atlantic City and my parents bringing me as a kid like Cheyenne gets to go to Atlantic City with Her Grandparents and me bringing her down as a kid. She is just like Daddy, Loves AC! She couldn't wait to go since I told her we were going up. When she hears me saying going up, she knows "up" is AC. Damn I wish I had a scanner to scan some of my baby pictures in Atlantic City on that board walk or me and my cousin Nat running up and down the boardwalk just roaming the beautiful hall ways of each Casino down the board walk hitting up all the arcades, stores, trying to catch a chick to hang out, eating and just goofing off while our folks gambled. How many of you all remember when the House of Blues was a big ass bowling alley...wow, we stayed there for hours playing Kid Niki!!!! Man I remember me and my cousins sitting outside the Taj Mahal on a bench for hours watching the people walk past some throw up on the board walk and we laughed for hours as we watched people stumble over it so they don't step on it, some just looked at it, and some stepped in it, that was the funniest! Can't forget meeting Lionel Ritchie in the morning. He was walking down the board walk and me and my cousin were practicing doing olley's on our skateboards. I said whats up, shook his hand and went back to skate boarding, wow, my life is soooo complete now!

Anyway, we leave for AC around 5AM...I'm dead tired from the weekend, so I slept, and snored, all the way up...I asked to be dropped off at the Tropicanna and I'll meet up with them when they check in the room at Ballys. Rooms were free, cause my Mom plays a ton of slots and my dad is playing roulette and craps.

So I walk in and see Paulson, If you all played Trav and Nelly's old game and my my old game and the game at the club house, you all will remember Paulson that went to Howard U, that played alot of poker with us. He moved to Philly so we don't see him alot, so we spoke and got caught up...I asked how he was doing, he had been playing since since Saturday and sitting on a stack of about $4k at a $2-$5 NL game. I'm asking why the game is paused, it just hit the Bad Beat Jackpot and since Paul was dealt in the hand, he got a $1600 piece of the Jackpot in cash. It was good to see him doing well, but I wanna play too, so I go get chips and get seated at a table where James is dealing and me and him shoot the shit while he is in the box. For some reason I wanted to play the morning donkament, so I sign up and sit back down to play some $1-$2. I won half the buy in of the tournament within the 30 minutes I was sitting down...so I go cash out and sit at my table, played my 1st 2 hands and I end up all in to a dude that flopped a set of 6s when I raised Kenny's 7-2 hand and flopped top pair and moved all my chips in the middle when dude check raised me hahahahaha well that was a fun 10 minutes of tourney...oooohhhhh now I remember why I don't play these things!!!

Get back in the $1-$2 NL game and proceed to ship $400, this is gay, I'm going to the room...and walk down the board walk....

wow...as much as I go to AC, I rarely walk the board walk...Luckily its not a muggy summer heat wave and feels soooo good outside with the breeze, no humidity and the temperature being 81 degrees! Its a whole different world out there, it was scary at first, but I adapted pretty quickly!
