  • Quick Update

     

     

                   I played in three or four of the Venetian Deepstack events but didn't do too well.  Truthfully I didn't even get to put in as much playing time as I wanted to because I was busy entertaining my friends that were in town as well.  I wasn't bothered too much about it because I had a great time reeking havoc on this city with my friends.  I did gamble a lot on table games, especially roulette, I had my good runs and bad runs throughout the week.  One night I took Venetian for about 8k in one night and they finally gave me a host that comped my whole week and a half stay and catered to my every need.  I decided to juice them as much as I could, so I asked for 8 tickets to the Blue Man Group show, which I've already watched 3 times, but wanted to take my friends to go see.  All in all it really hasn't been a crazy poker week for me, I've also been neglecting my online accounts, when I get back I'll be back on the grind and sit on my ass for days on end, for now I think I'll try to work on my live game as long as I'm here.

                     One crazy story was that I got robbed in my room while I was sleeping.  I just finished a 12 hr poker session and I was dead tired.  I don't know how the robbers got into my room but they rummaged through my suitcase and the weird part is they only took half of the money that was in my wallet and left the rest on the floor, sympathetic robbers?  I was completely asleep and didn't hear anything the whole time.  I'm really confused about the whole situation but I called security and pretty sure nothing will get resloved.  I'm not even worrying about it anymore, they took a decent amount of money but nothing to get all crazy over.

                      I actually had a flight booked to go back home last night but decided to play one more event at the Wynn.  It was the kickoff to the "The Wynn Classic" and started with a $540 buy-in event.  They're expecting around 500-600 players to enter so they split Day 1 into two days as Day 1A and 1B.  I played Day 1A yesterday and made it to the top 25 and qualified to play in Day 2 on Saturday, tomorrow.  They're playing Day 1B out right now so I'm just going to go play cash games all night.  I have a little over above avg. stack with 95k in chips and when we come back the blinds will be 3k/6k, so even though I'm above avg. I still consider myself being pretty short going into Day 2.  I really need a double up in the beginning of Day 2 so that I can coast to the final two tables.  I ended up cancelling my flight and booking a room here at the Wynn for the weekend, so let's see how I do.  Wish me luck!
