I wake up on Tuesday, I had actually changed hotel rooms so I was on the 19th floor at this point, called the front desk trying to get a late check out so I could sleep until noon or so.

Our rooms situtation was all crazy, basically I only had this room for 1 night, but Marc and Steph were checking into a new room today, so we called the front desk and had them check into my room, so I didnt have to be out by 1, yes! Extra sleep!

I woke up finally, took a shower and checked everything out. Went to the pool for a while. Then moved my stuff back to the first room. I sat down at the Luxor poker room around 7pm.

<---MARATHON SESSION---> Bought in for $40, sat in a full 2/4 game.

I noticed a older man (50's-60's) that had played in the 2/4 kill game with me earlier in the week at monte carlo. We had a good time joking about poker and people playing, getting sucked-out all the time.

He mentioned a situation when he was playing where he was beaten on a heads up showdown but the other player showed his pocket queens (the best hand) then turned them over and threw them in the muck face down. The older man thought he had won since the other player mucked. The other players stated they had seen the other player cards and the dealer agreed. The older man didn't want to cause a stir so he let it slide.

After he told me this story, I completely agreed that he should have been pushed the pot, since it is the PLAYERS RESPONSIBILITY to protect their hand at all times.

The older man stated he didn't feel back about letting it go becuase he had seen the other player's better hand. At one point I even showed him the rule board at the Luxor that states a player must protect their hand at all times.

Anyways, it was quite fun playing with him and I believe he was from MN.

There was a few other really fun people at that table, one gentleman I ended up playing with the next night as well, a decent player who was fun to talk with and rip on the fishes about.

At this point a player sits down with about $50 in chips. He is clearly an "any two cards" player. However, he luck is amazing as he makes over a dozen straights. Cashes out over $350 (in a 2/4 game with no kill, mind you).

As soon as he left the we all started talking mad crap about him, I mean he was winning wil 69o j2o, 34s crazy things you should never play, even on the blinds.

There was also a really cool dealer, unfortunately I've forgotten his name, he was older (60's or so) plays on Party, used to be a professional bowler, and is now a dealer at the Luxor. He was really fun to talk to while playing, we talked about good poker books, how dumb the fish can get on party. How soft the omaha split games are online, and etc.

8 bottles of water, 9 hot chocolates, 11 hours and a shot of jager later I left with $180 and my room and food comps.

I walked over to the Pyramid Cafe and got some pancakes and bacon. Ate breakfast then walked back to my room to get some sleep. Finally got there about 9:30am.

End of day three
