I Run Good.

Im sitting in the airport right now about to head back to michigan so this is going to be pretty short. I wanted to post something up before heading back though because i dont know when the next time i post will be. I got stuck in traffic on the way to the airport and thought there was no way i would make the flight but lucky me the flight was delayed 40 minutes! Man im running good this week haha. I didnt end up getting to the airport until 20 minutes before the flight was scheduled to take off so there was no way i wouldve made it if it wasnt cancelled. I went to the venetian again yesterday and the game was super soft once again so i was able to make around 1k in probably only an hour and a half. It was all the same donks as before and i really am hoping that these are the 5/10 regulars at the venetian because they are awful. I wanted to keep playing the game all night but a few people left and no one else wanted to keep playing once it got down to 5 handed. I also put a few hours in online and was able to pick up around 1300 or so. I had some hands that i wanted to put up but my plane is starting to board now so i will do that later. Anyways i gotta go but check back on like sunday or monday and i should have a updated post up.

COLDDDDDDD........

The stupid thermostat in our apartment is broke so its freezing in here. The heat works but once you turn it on you cant set it to a certain temperature and it just keeps rising. The other day i turned it on and set it to 7o and about an hour later i thought it seemed pretty hot in here so i looked at the thermostat and it was 95 haha. Instead of being hot and uncomfortable we just leave the heat off and freeze. Luckily ill be going home in a few days and into some nice weather.... nope, in Michigan its currently 31 degrees with snow. Alright that's enough venting.

I picked up this book right before going home for thanksgiving and i highly recommend it. I'm not a big reader at all, in fact i don't think I've actually read a whole book from front to end, but recently I've been having trouble spelling the most common words so i figured it was time to hit the books. Ive been wanting to actually read a book for a while now and when i saw Slash on Conan O'Brien promoting this i was sold. I'm a huge Guns n Roses/80's rock fan so this book is perfect for me. I was kind of skeptical at first once i saw how thick it was(about 500 pages) but after one plane ride I've already read about a 1/3 of it and this reading thing isn't so bad after all.

Except for the occasional bad beat here and there poker has been going pretty well since last posting. I signed up for some tournaments on Sunday and as soon as they started i just didn't feel like playing at all. If it was just the 215 i mightve just quit but it was the 615 satellite to the Bahamas so i stuck it out only to lose yet again. I'm not to sure what it was but i just had no motivation at all to play poker that day and the results showed. Yesterday i played in the softest 5/10 game at the venetian that I've played in since moving out here and i think i might start playing there a lot more often. I usually play at the Wynn or Caesars but just felt like a change yesterday so i tried out the Venetian for the first time and i cant believe how bad the players were. This kid who sat next to me yesterday said he plays there all the time and its not usually like that but he kind of sucked too so I'm thinking i might have stumbled across a really profitable game. Just a bunch of old rich guys there to have fun and try to play some poker. I played for about 4 hours and ended up making around 2300. I also played a few hours of sit n gos online and made around 600. The Wynn has been spreading a 5-5 PLO high game which i think i might play in today but i just don't think i can pass up the venetian. Here is some drunken 200/400 PLO at its finest- http://www.natarem.com/2007/12/15/thepokerfilm-bonus-clip/ .
There is also a link on this page to the left called the Poker film which includes a 10k prop bet to who can drink a fifth of Jack Daniels the fastest. Anyways I'm about to head down to the strip so check back later to see how things went and I'm out.
