In-Laws and SCOOP

My in laws came to town this past weekend. They drove in from San Diego on Friday and we caught up and grilled out for dinner. The next day we had tickets to go see the Lion King. We showed up early so we could watch the Derby in the sports book. It was super crowded and a fun atmosphere. We all just drafted horses and put in $7 into a kitty. That way we had a sweat and did not have to fight the lines at the casinos. Morgan and I did not do very well as none of our horses got in the top 5. Lion King was really good. The costumes and set production were amazing. After the show we went to the M for a steak. It was a beautiful night so we ate way to much outside. We were all pretty tired when we got home, but we jumped in hot tub first before calling it a night. The next morning we had brunch before they left.
I hopped in the Sunday tournaments at noon, which means I only missed 2 big tournys. My slate was kinda bare when I first jumped in so I decided to add a couple early tournies to the list. One was a $5 turbo. There was 20K grtd so I jumped in. I managed to win the thing in a total crap shoot. I got just over 5K for my effort. The score allowed me to break about even on the expensive day. I also played on Monday and Tuesday becasue of pokerstars SCOOP events. I did not have any real success in those, but I did manage a 2nd in the short handed $100rebuy and a first in the short handed $100. The scores gave me some much needed confidence and funds for the rest of the SCOOPs.
