Wife comes home

Well for the past four days or so I have been Mr. Mom while my wife was away playing poker in Vegas. She flew back in and was home around midnight last night.

My wife played mostly tournaments downtown at the Plaza. During the day from 10am - 5pm they run single table shoot-outs/SNGs. They offer 3 flavors - $25/$35/$50. You start with 1000 in chips and the blinds are 15 minutes long and start at 25/50 and double each round. She said they lasted about an hour on average. At 7pm and midnight they host a multi-table tournament with 20 minute blinds and a starting stack of 2000 chips and the option to rebuy one time.

She chopped 1st three times in the SNGs ($100, $100, $150) and then took 3rd place in one of the midnight tournaments for $280. Not too shabby...

We have less than a month till our trip together to Vegas (Nov. 3-7). We are taking a small group of friends so it should be fun. At my home tournaments Big O Poker Room, we are going to start running them with the same structure as in Vegas to help get us ready.
