poker poker poker is EZ sometimes + a new vacation spot

The wife and I booked our cruise in Alaska for our anniversary. It's 4 months away. We are both really looking forward to it, but it's really expensive sigh... We fly into Seattle, take a 4 hour scenic train ride to Vancouver Canada, get on the cruise for 7 days, then end up in Anchorage, Alaska where we'll stay another couple days to hang out, etc... The excursion list is sick awesome. Dog Sledding, helicopter rides over glaciers, whale watching, orca riding.. nah, justkidding on riding whales, but that would be sick awesome haha. I put in a ton of volume last night while sippin back on grey goose. The wife was next to me on the desktop playing some 24.00 knockouts, but unfortunately she didn't cash any of them. booo I crushed it on stars 5/10 for like 6 or 7 buyins, mostly from one guy. My brother was watching me, so hopefully he took some notes while the crushing was happening. I ran pretty good too. It's always nice when everytime you bluff, they fold and everytime they call, you have the goods. I fired up another session this morning and made a few more dollars. Here are a few cool hands.

A standard flip that I fortunately won.
