Sorry for the delay! Its been awhile since our last post and alot has happened since. We did the Abel Tasman track after leaving Nelson, and as soon as I get those pictures developed I’ll put them up. Once we were off the track and on our way, we discovered that someone in Shanghai stole most of our money, so we abruptly cut that trip short. We have since gotten all of it back, but it was a stressful couple of days for sure.
The first week in April, Al had the New Zealand Poker Championships. He played in three events, all were No Limit Holdem. He had some very stiff competition and despite playing very well, did not place in the money. He’ll get em next time. Hopefully they’ll have a Limit Holdem event next year since the participation and interest has skyrocketted, and if they do they better watch out! It was loads of fun, for both of us. I had a great time watching and playing the 2 cent slots, and unlike Vegas, I did win some of my money back.
