So Close Sundays, 4th of July

The 4th of July was uneventful, but I didn't mind. We spent all day sitting around the pool drinkin mudslides (I don't care if you do think they are girly, these drinks rock) and beers and grilling. Thats a perfect 4th of July for me. Clover and Foolish are both gone, but we picked up Spin and a few of his friends and a few of his friends' friends for the day. The girls that came over were very cute. I guess they've got this new swimsuit trend where the tops are like tiny strands about 3 inches thick. These girls were sporting this particular design and it was working for em. One of the girls was from South Dakota and was going into Elementary Education, which I thought was interesting.

At night, we had every intention of going to the strip and getting a table to watch the fireworks, but the sun musta drained everybody. The sun + drinking all day at a pool is a deadly combination. Instead, I watched people from miles around shooting fireworks off into the sky from the patio in a lounge chair by the pool. It was strangely peaceful in such a big city.

I hate playing on Sundays. You wake up in the morning with so much anticipation. Everyone thinks that today is their day. I felt that way this morning. I started the day by placing 6th in the $30 rebuy for a little over $800. I lost QQ vs A5 for a 120,000 chip pot. Next I placed 13/770 in the cake $100k guaranteed for $1200. This was a crushing loss. I was 2nd in chips with 15 players to go and lost a big coinflip with 99 vs AK. That woulda put me at 600k. Instead I had 280k. I ended up getting all in with Q10 on a Q J J board in a blind vs blind battle and the player woke up with aces. It sucked cuz he was a maniac who was playing super loose aggressive, so it was really unlucky to run into his aces there. My final bustout of the night occurred in the $200k where I took 30/980 for $880. I lost a big hand with AA vs QJ after getting all in on a Q 8 8 board. I would have had 100k. But to be fair, I did run pretty well most of the day aside from a couple of those hands. I won flips and 60/40's when I needed to and played well enough to beat some huge fields.

Oh well, some other time I suppose. I have 2 days left in vegas. I have no clue what we're going to do. Tonight we might run to a casino and play some roulette (I am so due for a big roulette night). Tomorrow we are considering hitting up Lake Mead for some boating or jetskiing.
