Vegas or a Cruise?I

I’m having trouble deciding where to go for vacation. Vegas can be more fun then one human should have, like the saying goes, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". It’s also a dream come true for any poker player, action around the clock for any amount you desire. Last time I was there poker was just getting big so there wasn’t as much to choose from. Now you can get any game for any limit you want 24-7.
Although I work in a poker room the limitations on game selection can be frustrating. Personally I like a good limit game but when there is only one to choose from (normally 3/6) it’s hard to find any good players for higher limits. Unfortunately, these day’s, everyone wants to play no-limit. Don’t get me wrong, I like the game but prefer to play it tournament style. If I do decide to play no-limit it’s usually 1/2, I would play higher but lack the bankroll. NL can be fun but for me sometimes I just want a comfortable limit game. I like batting heads with the best of them but not every time I play, sometimes I just want enjoy the game without having to play for my whole stack on every hand.
Limit’s a tougher game to make money at if your looking for a big score, usually your pushing small edges while spending most of your time waiting for those type of hands. NL is fun because you have some betting power, but like I said, sometimes I just want to have some fun without playing for everything in my pocket, and that’s what limit provides.
The problem with limit here is that there is only one game to choose from. What people don’t understand is that if you played for a higher limit such as 10/20 or 20/40, it can get very juicy in a hurry! At those limits dragging a $500 pot is common place and makes all the waiting much more worth the time.
If I do decide to go to Vegas this is what I will play. So, while I’m tempted to go get a good game while taking a week off from work, I’m also tempted to just get completely away from it all by doing a cruise.
I’ve never been on a cruise and I hear they are quite the fun thing to do. Ships today offer every amenity desirable and everything is right there in one place. Plus you get to see different ports of call and can tour them at every stop which kind of breaks up the monotony of sailing.
I am leaning heavily towards the cruise for several reasons, but mainly just to get away from it all. While I’m tempted to play a good game of poker in Vegas I’m thinking some time away from the casino would do me some good.
The main reason for Vegas was the deals, it’s a cheap vacation if you don’t gamble much. Even though that sounds fun I think laying out by the pool on the ship and dancing in the club at night sounds like a lot more fun. Plus I get to see the beach which living here is something I miss emensly.
I’ve also since learned that the fairs for cruises are pretty cheap these days too so going won’t cost me a mountain. I also like the fact that everything you could want to do is right there in one place, dancing, swimming, lounging and lot’s of good food are all included.
There are many activities to participate in and even dinners shows plus movies in your room and even an internet connection.
So, I’m still looking into both, I’m just excited that I finally get to go somewhere, a much needed vacation away from home that will hopefully recharge my batteries for the months to come.
Especially since I’ve not hit my goal this year yet, I could use some R&R and re-evaluate a new strategy to finish out the year.
I’ve decide to go soon, this way I can also celebrate my birthday.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions about either trip then by all means please let me know.

See you on the seas!
