Finally back from Vegas, and I am happy to be home. My first WSOP didn't quite go as I hoped, but I didn't lose money, so I'll take it in stride. I really only made one run in the 2k event, so was kind of annoying that I didn't get to enjoy the end game excitement again. I made it deep in a couple Venetian Events, only to bubble by a few spots around the money. Live poker is annoying, make it deep, waste a couple days of your lives for nothing, definitely prefer the online action, but realize the big scores and potential sponsors come out of the live action, so definitely will be resting for a few months and then will continue the battle on the live front.
The main event was typical for me, made it deep into day 2, and went out with 20 minutes left in play. AK to JJ, and the dream was over, heh. Of the 7 of us in the house that played, 3 of us cashed, so that was impressive. John, therookieqq9, made it exciting and made it to day 6, before taking a brutal beat when AK didn't hold against A8 AIPF. If that held he would have had average stack with 40 left, such a mean game at times.
So since I've been back, I have logged in a few sessions, and started off terrible but this past weekend went much better. Managed to chop the 100r at stars 3 handed for 18k, and took 2nd in the 100k freeroll at stars, outlasted over 5500 players, so that was kind of cool, def the biggest field I have ever FT'd before. Sunday was like a lot of sundays, so close to making a lot of big cashes, and not much love late. I back a few guys, and that was the story for all of us, ended up a little at the end of the day, but still had that empty feeling in my stomach, ah well the next sunday isn't too far away.
Things have been busy off the poker front as well here. Sarah and I are moving into our house this wednesday and have been dealing with all the extra tasks that come with that, annoying to say the least. But we are stoked to get in and setup. I finally get to put my dream office together, it won't be done right away as I'm not exactly sure what to do with the space I have, but I'm going to come up with something good. Will work on pictures for this once I have it up and going. Anyway, I'm off to watch a flick, have a little nap, then I'll probably put an evenign session in. I will be on top of my blog a little more now as things are settling down a little and will have more time for things when I'm away from the virtual felt,
till later, R
