Sooo

I suppose this is my obligatory clean slate post for September. I haven't played yet since getting back into LV besides one small 5 hour session where I made $50. I fly back to WI September 30th for my cousins wedding. Last month was probably my best month in almost 3 years when it comes to just poker profits. I put in just around 150 hours in the casino which is a lot since I didn't put that much time in combined the 3 previous months. I'm withdrawing most of my money from the internet as I'd like to concentrate on live play for the rest of the year and only keep enough to play whenever I find myself doing nothing while being at home. Ummm....I'm not sure I really have much to say. I want to put in at least 150 hours by time I fly back which I think is a little low as long as I don't get sick or go out to much and continue to get my ass up and go play. I also intend on moving up and playing 2/5 consistently once I get my roll to $X haha. I got a little work to do but it'll be a fun challenge to get there and start playing the game I used to always play. I'm not sure there's much else to say.....

Friday......I went to Ditch Fridays at the Palms. Brian found a radio station that gets you in free and gets you a wristband for 4 free Miller Lites. It was a good time and we realized we only used his name since it's good for you and a guest and I went back out and cut off my wristbands and reentered with my name to get another wristband for 4 more Miller Lites. It was pretty hard to scam the free beer from other people but we found 2 older ladies that helped us out a bit. We are planning on going to the same type of deal at the M Casino on Monday.

Friday night I met up with Jim to go out for a bit. I was only intending on having a beer or two since I realized once I left the house how tired and beat up I was from being at the pool all day. Good intentions gone bad......We went to Rain for a bit and then headed to the Playboy Club/Moon. At some point in the night our friend Bruce introduced us to his boss who owns a hot sauce company that Bruce is selling at a kiosk in some of the casinos. Later on I noticed him walking back to his table with a briefcase type of thing and I was thinking wow what a weirdo. I had no idea what it was or anything but I thought he was crazy for bringing it into a club no matter what it was. A bit later I noticed it was sitting at his table he had reserved for the night by itself and said something to Jim. Jim talked to security and next thing you know Jim and I are returning it to the guy we just met cause we're pretty nice people. On the way up Jim and I were trying to figure out what's in it and we both figured we shouldn't look. Well we found the guy and it looked like he was going to have a heart attack and was like hugging us and shit. He instantly handed us a cigar and asked the bartender for a bottle of champagne. He introduced us to the owner of the Station casinos who I guess is a hot sauce partner and it went on from there. He said we have no idea what was in the dam thing but by this time I think I did. I figured it was either a lot of money or the solution to cancer and aids or maybe even SARS. He left like 10 mins later and Jim and I were left to polish off a bottle of champagne the guy just spent $650 on when it was closing time. All in all it was a good night although a bit crazy coming across a briefcase full of money. I should get up and do something.....maybe go get my car from Friday night yet.

Wiiii

One caramel frappucino at the airport....

Frozen Funds whatever yada dada

I wish to receive no more questions about the issue. You can google and watch the news until your hearts content. Sure this isn't the best news but it's not like it's the end of the world because shit happens all the time that puts a hiccup in the way we get our money.

Here's the big website that can prolly answer every question about online poker.

Here's one decent video link I've seen posted....

I'm on a plane

And I'm tired and beat.

Im on a boat!

I played in the WSOP....

And all I got was this......





Anyways..In all seriousness.....It was great. I'm not sure what to all say without mumbling on though. It seemed like something that was long overdue since I've been at this for a few years now and it pretty much is the Super Bowl of Poker. I just spent over 13 hours at the Rio for the WSOP today....that's more than I spent when I lived here in 2006 haha. I'm not sure what it is....what it was...It felt great to finally play in an event. I played great all day. Some may not comprehend this but in the 12+ hours I played I feel like I made the correct decision at any given time. I never passed up a spot to pick up chips in my situation.....just little stuff that comes natural for some after awhile. At one point I moved in blind.....cards don't matter in certain chip situations and that's there all is to it. I should've possibly been out that hand but whatever he folded and it still blows my mind. I never got my money all in the pot behind. I felt comfortable the whole day....I folded AA early on....many would've said fuck it why do I want a short stack but I kinda pride myself in the ability to play a short stack. In no way is that why I had one all day but I never got something built up. I've never left the poker table after "losing" being as happy as I was because I had no regrets and honestly knew I would have no regrets about the way I played. I can't believe the guy called w/ AQo in my last hand...I was so fuckin pumped. Let me tell you.....It's not the first or last time I'll lose being a 73%ish favorite. It just sucks that it happened with 38 minutes of the day left. I just read on the one website that they played down to 376 players of roughly 3k entrants for today....almost 90% of the people from today are out haha.....I'm one of them but its so ridiculous as making it through today almost guarantees your in the money. Another thing.....Well...I'm glad I busted w/ AK so I don't have to try and explain why I busted out of everything with J8o haha. I wasn't playing in this to limp into the money. You don't ever play in tournaments to just make the money.....if you are.....your doing it wrong I'm sorry. If I had any thought that I was ahead w/ AA early on I could've justified going broke because I wouldn't have been stuck there for 10+ hours more. To much to say....I'm tired, I'm exhausted...I need to be up in 8 hours for a tournament online. I'll try to pass out here and maybe gather some more thoughts. Today was a good day.....could've been better but that was out of my control.

Wiiii
