It's usually a sunny place, but Aruba wasn't as hospitable as usual today. Rain washed out the Ultimate Bet Aruba Poker Classic today. The event was supposed to be broadcast from a set at the the Radisson’s pool here on this Caribbean island. Oh well, there are worse things than being stuck in the rain in Aruba, right?

So what do you do when the sun's not shining in Aruba? You could always just go back to your room and play a little poker rakeback yourself.

The tournament started out with ten players and is now down to seven. Of course, most of us will never play in a tournament like this and will have to content ourselves with whatever rakeback we can get after leaving our money on the table. Personally, my poker face is the best part of my game (which is to say that I'm not that great with the actual cards).

Maybe tomorrow the weather in Aruba will be nicer. In the mean time, there's always Rakemonkey...
