Not if I I don't hit the flop, then I muck the hand & I'm on the button with $215,000. In that spot with those blinds, having $215,000 or $265,000 is not that big of a difference. Only having to put in $50K more to see the flop without having to worry about a re-raise was a perfect situation the way I see it. I would do it again in that spot. Anyway, we don't see the hand the same way, no big deal.

I look forward to it! I enjoyed the last one.

I plan on making my Derby Day bets at the Hard Rock again this year. Even though the sports book is not doing a Derby chip set this year. The casino will be having their Cinco de Mayo release the day before the Derby, on May 4th. Andy - Las Vegas
