Wheeeeeee

When I was in Las Vegas for my "bachelor party" my friends drove me to Primm, Nevada to ride on what they claimed was one of the fastest roller coasters, the Desperado (http://www.vegas.com/attractions/outside_lasvegas/desperado.html?f=m0at&t=outvegas). It's probably best I didn't know what they had in mind because I might have been nervous about riding a "hypercoaster."
Why do I tell you this? Well, as I reflect back on the past two weeks of poker I'm reminded of that ride. As we left the starting area and made that initial climb up to the top of the first drop I was filled with both excitiment and forboding of what was to come. And while for a moment I was high above the Nevada desert, I knew that I would be plunging, nay hurtling (as I would learn later at close to 4Gs) back to earth.
So one night I kill the 3/6 kill game for 25 BBs in less than two hours only to give it all back the next night with people going all the way to river to catch their draws. I think I may have even had the urge to vomit like I did on the Desperado.
But just like the Desperado, after the ups and down I was right back where I started. So I guess it could have been worse, I could have hit the ground at 79 mph and been in a world of hurt.
