<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1784571, member: 16948"]After set up, I went over and registered for my room at the Hyatt which is connected to the convention center. This is the view from my room - it overlooks the new stadium, as well as the convention center parking lot and the Great American parking lot.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2733_zps89e37a40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2734_zps730b1849.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2735_zpsc8c29190.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I joined some friends for a nice dinner at Tusca restaurant at the Hyatt, where we had some excellent dishes and some tasty wine!</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2755_zps0be4e753.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>After dinner, I went over to the Bay 101 to play some poker.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2736_zpse7698cfb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I decided to play some no limit since there was an immediate opening at that table. The blinds are 1-1-2 with a maximum buy-in of $200. I didn’t do very well at the first table, so I changed table, which also changed my luck. I slowly built up my winnings, and after I was a couple hundred dollars ahead, I thought about leaving but decided to finish my glass of wine first. I was thinking that this glass of wine might either be a very expensive glass of wine (if I lost a couple hands), or it might be lucky for me! Well, right after my last sip I was dealt pocket aces. I decided to slow play them so I didn’t raise, but another guy raised about $20 instead, so I just called, as did one other player. The flop came 3-5-8, and the same guy bet $40. The other player called and I went all-in with about $400-$450. Both players called, and the last two cards were non-threatening to my hand. The guy who was betting had pocket queens, and the other player mucked their cards so I never saw them. The pot ended up being about $400, so I scooped up my chips and cashed out!</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2739_zps2c449e61.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>This is the view taken from my room at night.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2019%2009%20Santa%20Clara%20Show/IMG_2740_zps93a972a8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>The show opened Thursday morning with a nice steady stream of people filling up the room, including some forum members!</p><p> </p><p>John/DizzyFoxx was the first forum member to stop by my table!
