After a week largely spent playing PLO (and giving an interview. brag: I get to be on NPR talking about AP/UB in a couple of weeks. watch this space), I made it to Fresno last night to hang out at Club One for the weekend.

So far, I've played one 60 dollar satellite to the 500 dollar main event thingie (that I somehow won despite not actually remembering any of it because I was jet lagged) and a celebrity bounty event in which I had a decent bounty on my head (results: got it in drawing pretty dead, whee). Despite that, I have to give a shoutout to Club One to anybody in Fresno that happens to be reading this. The place is excellently run, well maintained, has good tournament staff, and happens to be non-smoking, which, combined, makes it by far the best non-Vegas poker room I've ever been in. About the only thing I vaguely regret is not playing with the FHM model girl in the celebrity event, whom I gave a brief primer on poker since it was her first time ever playing the game (summary: "wait until you get AA-JJ, AK, then go all in".) There was also a prop bet with Shaun Deeb I was freerolling on in which I was going to make him wear something really dumb to the ME tomorrow, but getting it in drawing nearly dead put a stop to that, too. Awwwww.

I'll update with my results and bustout hand at some point tomorrow, but I definitely like it here and would recommend the room to anybody.
