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!!
Where to now?
