Time at the Rio & crushing small stakes

I spent some time at the Rio checking out day 1C of the main event. Took a few photos of some Aussies & had a brief chat with Brian Devonshire of PokerRoad before being kicked out of the hall (as all spectators were) just before the end of play for the night. Devo (as he is known on PokerRoad) seems like a really nice guy, very down-to-earth & willing to interact with fans of the show. Good to see some of the Aussies doing well at the Rio as well.
The following day I went to the Riviera again, only to find a deserted poker room (the quest for the elusive poker session & $1 chip there continues), so I decided to venture off the strip for some poker. I caught a bus to Palace Station casino, which is a short distance west of the Strip. They had two games going - $4/8 & $2/4 limit holdem. The 2/4 game was the only one with a seat, so I sat & proceeded to run fantastically after a slow start (which included getting aces cracked by 42 suited). Of course I managed to get aces another three times in the two hours I was there (and they held each time) & my big hands held up when there were only a few people to the flop. I also decided not to get carried away in multi-way pots, so would often just call with biggish hands in late position & fold if I missed the flop. All-in-all not a bad effort, finishing $100 to the good in only two hours.
Next on the agenda: The elusive session at the Riviera, some time at the Rio & more cash games
