$111 bottle of water

played in the horseshoe 2:00 no-limit hold'em tourney on tuesday and didn't even last 30 minutes. i played only two handS (diligently folding all the crap i was getting dealt), first hand i played was AQ (me) against 99s. OK, the odds were against me there but i know i was the favorite with AA vs QQ. Q on the flop and i am out. in retrospect i probably would have lost a lot more if i was playing at the no-limit tables. spent most of my time at the no-limit game ($1/$2 blinds, $100 minimum buy-in). one guy was sitting there with over $25,000 in cash and chips. from what i could gather, he had just moved into the horseshoe and was grinding out a $300/day living at the table. another guy was a AAA pro baseball player intown for a couple of games. his girlfriend/manager/statistician kept trying to pull him away from the table since he had a game later that day. played one session at the bellagio and managed to walk away up a little bit.
