Close again.....


(click on the pic to actually be able to see it)

Here is my final table from saturday where i once again couldnt finish. I only entered this tournament because it was a new style on pokerstars that i havent seen yet. It was a 4 handed 88 buy in with only 10 minute levels so i knew it would be over quick and i wouldnt have to sit around playing it all day/night. I didnt really feel like playing at all saturday so i entered a few tournaments to just mess around in while i was sitting around watching tv before the night began. As you can see i ended up finishing in 3rd for around 1700 or something which is pretty decent for not really wanting to play and i was also pretty shortstacked from like 45 players on to the final table. Pokerstars had a ton of good tournaments running on sunday but unfortunately I had a very late saturday night(which ill get to in a sec) and wasnt able to play in any of them. Ive only had a few short sessions since my last post 2 live and 1 online which have all been winners. I played earlier online for maybe a half hour and here is the only decent sized pot i was involved in.

Saturday night started off pretty standard for me, predrinking/poker because it just feels better spending other peoples money during the night. I finished up the tournament above and had a a few drinks while getting ready to head over to the Hard Rock to meet up with some people. This was my first time going to the hard rock and i have to say its nothing like what i expected, it was actually really cool. They have tons of cool rock memorabilia all over, its much smaller than the other hotels, and they played rock music. We pre drank a little more before going to Body English http://www.bodyenglish.com/ we had tables/bottles waiting for us. Ive heard from a lot of people about how cool this place is and it definately lived up to the hype. It was a lot smaller than the big clubs like Pure, Lax, etc. but i think that almost made it better. Although i think it probably wouldve sucked if we didnt have a table because it was so small/packed but we did so it was a good time. I think we left here around 3(total guess) to go meet up with some friends(hodge and company) who had a table at penthouse http://www.penthouselv.com/ . After this things get a little fuzzy but i do remember getting home around 10 or 11 and trying to stay up until 1:30 to play in the 530 buy in on stars haha. Needless to say i couldnt make it and woke up out on the couch around 3 and went back to bed til about 8 or 9. Im not sure what i was doing on the couch because i never sleep there but i mustve been trying my hardest to stay up for the tourney but just couldnt do it. Oh and I also may or may not be going out this weekend with a girl that works there........ she wants me to call her thursday so ill keep u updated if i decide to man up and call her. Anyways thats pretty much a recap of my weekend so check back tomorrow to see whats new and im out.
