We Takin Over

It was nice to finally meet TPayne and Devin in Oklahoma. Congrats Devin for finally getting to 1/2 NL. It was fun in Oklahoma. It was so country. People are all real nice and conservative. It was kinda bad that i went on a pretty bad poker downswing while i was there so it wasn't too pleasant. It is a very peaceful place with nothing much going on, although it is a lot bigger than what I expected. I really thought it was going to be all farms and tractors. We left for Chicago on Thursday with Tyler and Devin. We went to the Cubs game on Friday. It was Sven's first baseball game. It was interesting trying to explain the game of baseball to an unknown. Then we hit up Greg (Kapie123) since he is from around the area. We went and hanged out with him and Mike at Samah. It was some fancy hookah place. I thought it was pretty cool. Next day, we went out to Buffalo Grove to session with Kappie and the grinders. It was fun to see how the 12 tablers and their thought process towards the game. I realized they were very mechanical and very easily exploitable but at lower stakes, their style can be very profitable. I only played for about 2 hours and went to sleep but everyone else played for quite a while. The next day, we went and ate a lot of sushi. It was fun to basically order the whole menu of sushi. Our waiter wouldn't even give us all because he doesn't think we could finish. We finished about 100 sushi between 5 people in about 20 minutes. It was fun. Then we went out to some bar/restaurant and hanged out with Sylvia and a bunch of her friends. It was fun to see people I wasn't really expecting to see for a while, so soon. Today Mike drove us out back to downtown and showed us around town. It was very interesting to city of Chicago. Tonight, we went to The Signature Room at the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower. It is a restaurant on the 95th floor. It was cool to see the view of Chicago from that high. The food wasn't too great but I enjoyed it. Tomorrow, Sven and I heading out to St. Louis. I am really really regretting I didn't bring a camera. I got 3-4 cameras stuck at home doing nothing.
