Poker stake return/update, Bus and taxi paid for and lost $150 so far but I have a couch at a stranger's house!

Off to a rough start on my poker trip. Taxi also took a wrong turn. But I get free food later!

Poker Bankroll: 129.593 SBD

To stake @virtualgrowth to play poker send STEEM or Steem (Backed) Dollars to @virtualgrowth with memo poker. This stake will receive a share of profits / losses from playing poker on my trip to Maryland Live Casino. This stake will be paid back in about a month (by March 30th) after I finish playing at Maryland Live Casino and receive final promotion payments on March 3rd.

Bus ride wasn't too bad once I managed to make it on a bus. Then caught an express bus for the second half of my trip. Had my own seat with no one next to me on both buses too so could use my laptop and spend some time on steemit! Didn't have to wait too long for a taxi as I missed the first two with people ahead of me. Told the driver what place I wanted to go but he didn't seem to recognize the town or city. But he did know where the casino.

So off to the casino I am going! Wait I have a bag to check first don't I. Supposed to meet someone late at night so I have a place to sleep and wasn't sure where to stash my bag. Should I hide my bags in the woods. Have some honey in there and some animals might like that too much. Then thought about checking my bag in a hotel I stayed at before while I go play.

Getting close to the Casino I saw the hotel up behind a building and the driver asked me about taking the next left and I said yes. But we missed the hotel and drover all up and around and my cab fair was well on the way to doubling! Eventually made it back to the hotel and got a break on the fare which was good to hear.

Went in to the hotel and was asked if I was checking in. Checking in? I'm not even staying here! I mean not yet I just want to check my bag. My friend will be here later and I am waiting for him. Sounds like a good story right? So managed to get free bag storage so the price is right. Checked my bag and went off to walk to the casino to play some poker.

Nothing to spectacular for the most part. Had a few hours to play before going to meet a stranger to have a place to sleep later. Since staying at a stranger's house is cheaper than a hotel. Did manage to get a full house with Aces full of Nines which made i on the High Hand board! Top four hands get paid $2100 or something! But my handed ended up in fifth place before the half hour and I had a stranger to meet! Ended up down $10 which wasn't too bad. Also two hours towards the promotion which is worth $20. So will be good if I put in another 48 hours in three days. Something like 16 hours per day for my fun poker trip. This is turning into work.

Got a text from the stranger when they would be out of work. So made sure to be outside when the arrived. Went back to their house for my place to sleep for the night. So now virtualgrowth has a couch to sleep on which is much better than stuck in the bus lobby the night before!

Woke up with my ears winging early in the morning. So appears my head doesn't agree with something. So just have to make the best of it. Got up early and went for a walk to the casino. Figured that I might as well get there before it started raining and it just started raining just I was getting there. So will be working on playing 50 hours of poker in the next three days!

Thank you for your interest and assistance in advance. All proceeds from this post and stake will go towards poker play and related travel expenses to help cover travel costs and hotel stays until I finish and get the promotion bonus money and whatever wins I manage to collect playing poker along the way.
