Deadwood Downtime and Some Cards - July 5th

Deadwood is known for its mining, lawlessness, and of course, gambling is part of it.  The current temperature at the time is about 100F so I find a casino that offers some Texas Hold'em and decided to give it a try.  I refused to play AA-88 as I am in the death place of Wild Bill Hickock who was shot in the back while playing.  They don't offer a no limit game, but a spread limit 2-100 game just like in Colorado.  It was a fun time hanging out and playing cards.

At about 6 PM they started a really weird tournament.  It was a $45 buy-in with unlimited rebuys and add-ons.  Each add-on cost $10 and was for 1000 in tournament chips.  I guess some of the players decided to add-on an addition $200 to give them a better chance to win.  I didn't play in it, but it sounds crazy.

I met a guy named Claus from Austria in the game.  He is traveling around the US and playing poker along the way.  The game broke about 11:30 and it had cooled off so I called it a night.  Next stop, Mt Rushmore!!
