May 26, 2007, 12AM: Played 6 hours, Lost $500.00 at Agua Caliente
$8/16 Texas Hold'em

The game was nice and juicy if you had the patience for bullshit calls by other players and them getting their hands on the river. I counted 12 hands where I had the nuts or close to it all the way to the river only for it to get snapped!!!

May 25, 2007, 3AM: Played 2 hours, Made $220.00 at Gold West Casino
$3/6 Texas Hold'em

Finally found my way to the $3/6 game after my $6/12 game broke. This was a very nice and juicy game that I would have enjoyed staying at longer but we had several other casinos to visit. Oh yes, Deiyuo fed me here as well...second time for the day. Hell ya baby!!!

May 25, 2007, 2AM: Played 30 minutes, Lost $20.00 at Gold West Casino
$2/4 Texas Hold'em

I was up $40 in this little $2/4 game and was about to go crazy waiting for another seat to open up. Because my options were limited I was only left the $3/6 game Deiyuo had already been seated at.

May 25, 2007, 12AM: Played 1 hour, 30 minutes, Made $98.00 at Gold West Casino
$6/12 Texas Hold'em

This was a nice $6/12 game with a lot of action on the table. The staff and players were nice at this location and had some awesome soup. Maybe the food is so awesome because Deiyuo only feeds me once a day but hell what can I say I've lost 14 pounds since being on this trip???
 
Freakin' Deiyuo...

May 24, 2007, 9PM: Played 15 minutes, Made $1.00 at Eagle Mountain Casino
$2/4 Texas Hold'em

Having driven for 2 hours east of Hanford to get to this casino, Deiyuo and I were disappointed to find only 1 table operating (short handed at that). We both played a little Star Wars as was the custom to do so before we got into a game had the game break 20 minutes after we sat down. So word to the wise is to think twice before hitting the Eagle Mountain Casino! On a lighter note: Portville is a nice little community but we called Bakersfield and received word that 7 tables were going. Only being 45 miles away we hurried our way down their and sat in the $6/12 hold'em game.

May 23, 2007, 10PM: Played 4 hours, Lost $250.00 at Tachi Palace
$2/4 Texas Hold'em

Deiyuo and I took Tim out for what was supposed to be a poker lesson but turned into a lesson in what not to do at a $2/4 game. Deiyuo and I, like usual, were capping the pots pre, flop, turn and on the river. It was fun to blow off some steam and get people to grab their chips and run quicker then we could laugh about them running away... For the record, Tim was able to take home a nice little vistory after having lost quite a bit at the blackjack tables the previous night as did I.

May 23, 2007, 8PM: Broke Even at Gloria's Card Room (AKA the Greyhound)
$5 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

Now I didn't play in this game as there were no seats but rather played some pool with Tim. Deiyuo and I stayed with Tim and Mel in the Hanford area on our way down south towards Bakersfield and Porterville. I'm sure Deiyuo will have plenty to say about this interesting location.

May 23, 2007, 12PM: Played 4 hours, 30 minutes, Lost $8.00 at Merced Poker Room
$3/6 Omaha Hi-Lo

This had to be one of the friendliest casinos I have ever been too!!! The owner Jack, Tournament Director Jesse, and Dealer Eddie we cordial, speedy, and a pleasure to play cards with. It isn't located in the best location and was tough to find but isn't something that Yahoo Maps can't take care of. The card room was a small 3 table room offering Omaha and Hold'em games. To our surprise the Omaha was the favored game much like Montana was of the 1990s. Both Deiyuo and I enjoyed ourselves during our stay and will make every effort to make it back very soon. Hopefully I can bring home a green this time around?

May 23, 2007, 10AM: Played 15 minutes, Lost $12.00 at Turlock Poker Room
$12 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (42nd out of 50 Players)

Deiyuo and I made it to Turlock around 7AM with no game to be found. We did run across one of the employees whom informed us of a 10AM tournament with a $12 buy-in. Deiyuo and I, half asleep and in the sleeping zone made our way to Denny's where we grabbed some coffee and breakfast. After breakfast Jess sleept and twitched in the back seat for two hours while I watched my back thinking he'd stab me at any second. No but seriously, we made it all but 20 minutes in this tournament (NateDawg having placed higher) and decided to head south towards Visalia and Bakersfield.
