Three days off in a row and the only thing I manage to do in this city with endless things to do, is go to the best voted location for hot dogs in Vegas. I guess as a fat man that is exciting. For 1.99 I got an enormous hot dog with some chili and onions, yum!

After delving into deliciousness at the Slots-of-Fun dive casino, I saw that they were offering 1 dollar roulette. Now when I see "$1 Wheel" written on the slot that indicates the min/max sign I would figure you can bet one dollar on any of the inside or outside bets... well apparently not! It was a 4 dollar min for the inside and outside. I guess I could have walked out at this time but what true degenerate could do that. I lost the 20 I put in within two spins and walked out.

Went back into work yesterday and I was told to go into the Ladies Hold'Em Event. I was thrilled to be surrounded by "ladies" for a whole half hour until my table broke and I was told to go back into the live games. I am shocked that after 3 full days of dealing cash I have yet to do deal a PLO game in live. I hear those players are absolutely crazy at times, in terms of the action and how they re-act to the dealers.

I did however deal to probably the best dude today, Teddy "Iceman" Monroe. I dealt to him at a 3-handed 100-200 limit hold-em game. He was friendly as can be to all the railbirds, the chip runners, the floor staff, and most of all the dealers. He kept on trying to convince people on the rail to join in the fun and the way he would go about it was hilarious... I did not stop laughing at the table. At one point he threw some really hot looking chick a $500 dollar chip and told her to buy herself something nice, I wish I had that kind of cash. The best part of dealing to him was when he kept telling me I needed a fill when I really did not... but I was not about to argue with the best tipper in the house, thus far. So, I call for a fill and immediately after he throws me 2 green chips ($25) and tells me to break it into reds ($5) and then throws me two red birds back and says "See you needed a fill, I needed more chips to tip you".

I also dealt to the reverse of the Iceman. I pushed a guy five straight kill pots in Omaha 8/B at 100-200 for over $1600 a piece and he managed to not tip me one dollar the entire time. These guys will make prop-bets on who will curse first for 10k, but they can't tip me even 1 dollar a hand? BS!

Besides for all that, I watched the Limit Hold'Em Final Table... and Daniel Negreanu came into heads-up with a pretty good chip lead, but you can tell his opponent was a heads-up specialist as he honestly schooled Daniel and took down the bracelet.

Another day another dollar today. I am hoping to get plenty of tournament downs today, as they are valued a lot higher per hour than the tips we have been getting... though last nights $148 dollars, mainly thanks to Iceman, was not a bad night.
