I just played live limit in Aruba.

I am better than 10% to $10 rake, six handed. I run goot. Winning around 7 of the 11 pots you play leaves you up $82. Gross. The straddles were well worth the dent in my winrate. Drunk live poker is easy.

My brother sat next to me after I played about 20 hands. There were concerns of soft-playing; I laughed heartily. I would smother my first-born before I'd soft-play my younger brother. He donked off admirably; for once I was not amused to be reminded of my former self.

This is a really, really great place though. I haven't met (remembered) many Dutch people to this point in my life, but Aruba leaves a nice impression of the Dutch. And Arubans love to laugh, which makes them really cool people (or excellent tip whores). I like Arubans.

Aruba (slightly) > Virgin Islands > Jamaica > Puerto
Rico > Bahamas > Treatable cancer > Atlantis in the Bahamas > Terminal cancer.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
