Event #24 $1000nl Day2 and more...
I've been slacking a tad because it's been a somewhat slow week for tourney's compared to the first two weeks or so I'll put in a decent update. Let's get the $1k event out of the way first. I ended up getting 155th place for like $2600 which is okay I guess. Another dissapointment in my book as far as making a final table this summer but I've cashed 3 times so far in 7 events so maybe if I keep cashing I can atleast break some kind of record for most cashes in a WSOP! lol. I got all in before we reached the money AK > AQ and held somehow so I got what I wanted and had some chips going into the money. Then I went on a streaky little run going from 20k to 40k and back a bunch of times until I busted. I had about 42k at 1k/2k 300a and this guy who appeared to be aggressive but was just getting a bunch of hands I think opened early and I shoved 5s on him and he tanked for a good minute or so and called. I just felt that he was winning alot of pots and started to use that image to his advantage so I found something to shove on him, however he woke up with AQ - Q on the river I lose flip gg no biggie.
Next thing, we moved into our house this week and it's pretty awesome. It's me, Josh, Derrick, Marc and a bunch of our friends from LA. Everyone is awesome and we have a pretty good time playing and discussing poker and just hanging out. We have our own "war room" downstairs where we all play online together and it's really nice grinding with a bunch of other online players. There's 8 of us total staying in the house and it's huge with a nice pool, huge kitchen, poker table (where we play $100 sngs every night when there's no action online) and tonight we went out and bought a ping pong table for some added action. I went to wal mart and bought a big monitor to play online that I plan on returning before we leave too... lol wal mart. There's also a maid that comes everyday and cleans up after everyone so that's a huge plus. I did like staying at the Rio for the first couple of weeks only because of the convenience of being at the WSOP and when I woke up I could go right downstairs and play my events. Other than that the Rio sucked pretty badly as a hotel - Food was terrible, it was off the strip so I had to drive everywhere and it's just overall not a very nice quality hotel. I rented a pretty nice car though. It's just a new Nissan Altima but it's much better than the giant tank of a Dodge that I had last year.
I'm probably about halfway through the series and I'm pretty happy with where I am at the moment. I've played about $12k worth of buyins and I've cashed for almost $19k so far and I'm also up another $10k or so playing cash between live and online so even though I haven't done anything major yet, I'm not losing my ass so I have no complaints. I planned on playing the $1500 event later today but I'm going to skip it because I've missed both 6 max events so far this series because of being in day 2 of $1k events but I'm NOT missing the $5k 6 max event on Thursday. I am well aware that this tournament is probably the hardest field of the series but I'm super excited for that. It's a really deep structure and there is alot of poker to be played so I'm pumped about that. After that I have about 7 more $1000-$2500nl events left and probably the razz and then July 5th is the main event. Tons more good poker to come and lots to look foward too when the series is over. Loraine and I are in the process of moving into a condo in Aventura and I'm super excited about getting settled down there. Also live poker comes to Florida July 1st, so when I get back it's time for the live grind! The games are expected to be amazing and I expect to be playing live a whole lot.
I just realized I could post pictures so here's a few I've taken from the series with my phone for fun:
Looking into the new giant Pavillion room which is the main room being used for the series. So many tables...
Durrrr heads up in the $1500 event for his first bracelet and ~$10 million dollars in prop bets! Aaaaannd he gets 2nd.
My 12.3k stack going into day 2 of the $1k event #24 yesterday before I turned it into 40k and gave it away. :-/
