The first week of the WSOP is now over and I haven't managed shit. One cash in 7 events and a massive 40k blow up in the 5k re buy PLO. I didn't really play bad I just lost every race and missed every flop. With the structure being what it is you couldn't really bluff multiple streets since you ran out of chips after the first bluff. Anyway...
The only thing that I've really managed this trip is lose about 10 lbs. For most people this is a good thing but not for me. Not having much extra weight on me I don‚t really enjoy losing the little extra that I got. The reason for this weight loss was my long nightly online sessions combined with the worst room service in Vegas. Last year I spent about 150 nights at the Bellagio and wanted to try something new so I went to THEhotel. In the end, however, I had to crawl back to the comfort of the Bellagio in hopes of re-gaining my lost weight.
Bellagio has its dangers though. While at THEhotel I was far away from all my buddies and the casino games at the Bellagio. It took me about 2h after checking into the Bellagio before I discovered myself at one of the Pai Gow tables having a Greygoose with cranberry juice and soda and gambling away with a couple of Swedish poker player buddies of mine. What started out as a drink and a couple of hands of Pai Gow turned into an all nighter. Surprisingly enough we lost. I then spent the rest of the morning playing online winning back my Pai Gow losses.
After being up about 20k or so I realized that the $1,500 NL event at the WSOP is starting in a few hours so I took a quick nap and shower and headed to the Rio. 20 minutes later I lost a coin flip for all my chips and was out of the tournament. No shocker.
All in all this trip to Vegas has been a joke so far. It's an exact repeat of last year. I'm doing good online and really can't be bothered to play the WSOP events. Yet I wake up every morning and drag myself to the Rio, only to play my C-game and get busted a few hours later. Tomorrow is the day of the ladies event so at least I get one day off. Might go to the Rehab club at the Hard Rock Hotel and chill out. If I still feel I won't be playing my A-game on Monday I probably won't even show up.
Being Saturday night and all I might be heading to Pure at Caesars now. Roland de Wolfe says he's going to be there with some British mates of his. Could be some proper boozing involved...I'm tempted...
