Today i really had too much running around to do so i couldn't really play any poker like i wanted to. I played for like an hour but I'm not even going to post anything about it. I made like 80 bucks haha and didn't really play any hands so there is nothing to post about it. Tomorrow i will be leaving for Las Vegas so there will be a week hiatus on the blog. I will hopefully get some pictures to put up on the site but we will see how that goes. This is my 5th time going out there and i have no pictures at all so I'm not promising anything. Although i plan on doing more partying than playing poker so i should be able to take some pictures or videos, hopefully videos... haha. I will be flying back in Thursday morning so the blog will be back up Thursday night or Friday. I do plan on getting 4 good days of play in while I'm out there but i am not going to count it towards the blog. I am taking 4k out there and will play 2/5 no cap at the Wynn, some 5/10 at the Bellagio, and possibly a few tournaments. Anyways as i said i will not be counting this trip towards the goal and am going to just pick up at Day 15 when i return. With that being said i am going to sleep and i will be back next week, Nechita out.

Day # 13
Today i had a lot of running around to do but was able to play for about 3 hours. I played 1 table of 10/20, 1 table of 5/10, and played in the 150 buy in tournament again. Had some ok results at the cash games but wasn't able to cash in the tournament. I was really card dead in the tournament and just kind of hung around until i picked up aces and obviously they didn't hold up. When this happened it definitely reminded me why i hate to play tournaments. I'm not saying that tournament hands are rigged but the beats you take playing those are just insane compared to cash games. Lets just say when i got my AA all in preflop against 2 other players (kk and aq) i knew they would lose and they did. The even funnier part is that they lost to both of the other hands haha. This always seems to happen to me late in tourneys and it just makes me not want to play tourneys it pisses me off so much. I wouldn't really have cared if this happened in the first 5 minutes but i had played for a few hours and if my aces would've held up i would've cashed for sure and went deep into the tourney. Tomorrow i plan on putting together one last good session before i leave for vegas so check back tomorrow night for results. Alright that's enough venting over my tourney disappointment here are some hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?742978 - gotta love players like this.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?742982 - a lot of times i would re raise here on the flop but his bet just smelled funny. Figured he probably has a 9 here so i just call the 100 in hopes of hitting the turn and i do.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?742986 this was a very weird hand. He limps in late position then facing a raise and re raise he shoves all in. I honestly thought about folding this hand for almost my full minute but ended up calling. Only reason i did call was the fact that this guy had been playing a lot of hands and overplaying a lot of weak hands. I'm thinking he has aa/ak in this spot and just ended up getting really lucky.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?742997 - this hand is from heads up play and was one of the first few hands so i wasnt sure of how this guy played. I picked up a big hand heads up and really couldve lost more here but the river q slowed things down.
and finally here is my hand from the tourney- http://www.pokerhand.org/?743006 I think i busted out in like 320th place and the top 180 got paid. Definitely would've been sitting in good chip position after this hand and it sucks it didnt hold up.
Daily total- 710.88
Total needed- 31,383.97 (would like to have this under/at 30 by the time I fly out.)

Day # 12.... if u want to call it that.
The reason for my title is due to the fact that i was completely hung over and wasn't feeling poker at all today. I was planning on playing in the big Sunday tourney today and playing a long session but my brain wasn't on the same page. I finally started to feel some what normal around 9 and decided to play but immediately wasn't into it at all. I did manage to play for about an hour of just 2 tables and i saw around 150 hands which really isn't anything. The 10/20 game looked soft so i played that and was doing pretty well but just didn't have the focus i needed to play my A game so i quit. I will be taking a week off from the blog starting Wednesday because i will be going to las vegas for a week. I was thinking about counting the week that i am out there towards the goal but i really don't know how much i am even going to play while there. We are staying at the flamingo and also at the Wynn. The Wynn is by far my favorite casino out there and favorite poker room so i cant wait. They give such a sick deal to poker players its by far the best poker rate out there. I am getting a room for 129 a night with the poker rate when the rooms are usually around 350 a night. They give you this poker rate as long as you play 5 hours of poker a day in their poker room which i would do even if i wasn't staying there. I am going to put together a couple of big sessions in the next few days before i head out there so check back tomorrow to see how that went. Here are a couple hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?740263
http://www.pokerhand.org/?740267 - thought i was beat here but called the turn hoping for the heart. I was done with this hand once i miss the river if he bets anything on the river he takes the pot but lucky for me he checked.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?740280 - really thought i was value betting the river here but once he min-checkraised i knew i was beat. I cant fold for the 90 more into a 600 pot though.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?740284
http://www.pokerhand.org/?740286 - what a waste of a big hand.
Daily total- 793.03
