Chino gonna Chino, man he ran pure. Disregarding his money issues, I’ve always liked him. He is polite, personable and never douchey at the table. And he is very obviously super talented. Just gotta pay back those debts!

Played poker at Treasury Casino in Brisbane over the weekend. Took an hour to get a game up as there wasn't enough dealers, despite two full tables of 1/3 and 2/5 players ready to go. The casino does members draws every half hour, so there's a constant stream of announcements about draws and asking the winners to present. They also had some electronic games out of order, which also necessitated updates every half hour on this unchanging status. The bar nearest the poker room had one bartender on for a Friday night and didn't have a water station set up. It seems they're just phoning it in until the new casino is finished construction and opens to the public.

Game itself was fairly soft, problem was I haven't played poker for 12 months so I played well for two hours and then badly for the third due to a lack of poker stamina.
