The end is coming

Well the series is over and the action is dying. Originally, I thought i would stay through to August, but in fact i'm going to leave early next week. I have been running pretty bad live, at least at the Wynn, where I play most of my poker.

My plan is to drive back spend a week or so in the peg then going to Niagara Falls on the 8th of August with a few buddies to play their apparently juicy 10/20nl game. Not sure how long I will stay, but it will depend on my success.

The last week has been ok overall. I have logged more hours than any other week since being down here, much of it online playing plo on cake poker. Travis sent me 3k and I turned it into close to 14k so 11k profit. Live I am around even maybe down 1.5k. So many beats and coolers that I will not talk about hands played, excpet 1 from online I found funny while playing on cake and it goes as follows:

I had akj10 with a suited ace and raised in a 3/6plo game. One guy called and a short stacker re-pots from the bb. Three of us went to the flop and it came down AA8. The short stacker pushed all in for just under the pot and I called, the other guy folded. The short stacker had KKJ8 with no backdoor draws. Unfortunately, the longest shot possible came in, the ol' 2 outer / 1 outer combo and he wins a $600 pot at about 800:1 underdog...sweet. Glad it wasn't a big pot.

I won't be making it up to Canada in time for Regina, oh well...i'll go there for the November tournament, its usually the best 1 anyway. Looking forward to travelling to a few spots in Canada over the next couple months once I recharge with a little R&R in the peg. Gotta keep building the roll so I can responsibly move up to bigger games. Hopefully will be in some big games by next wsop, we'll see.

ciao
