So I got home this morning from niagara and toronto and realized that not only have I only played 2 hours of poker in the past 9 days (WPT Niagara day 1 busto 2nd level), but I think its been like 18 days since I played online poker... I think its the longest break from online poker ive taken in almost 3 years. In my few days home 7th-10th and today, I have been basically rammed with trying to answer emails, facebook comments, email interviews, catch up with people on the phone and/or online, do laundry and plan out my next trip, while trying to spend time with family and also my new girlfriend. :)
Im leaving on friday to go to vegas for the WPT at the bellagio... going to play the 5k event on the 18th and then day 1a of the 15k main event on the 20th. If i bust i plan on coming home that night or the next day. Otherwise i will just come home whenever i get knocked out.
Although the WPT in Niagara was kind of a bust, i had a great time on the trip... got to chill with my BOIS dblock, fil, stefan, ozren, sanel, and even got to go to kyle's house for canadian thanksgiving BURRRRRRRRRRPPPPPP!!!! Got to see a raptors preseason game vs Russian team from Moscow which was fun. Lemme explain how i busted the tourney so fast
I played a few pots here and there and was down to about 26k from a starting stack of 30k... there was a dead stack directly on my right for about 2 hours. An older guy with a cowboy hat shows up late and sits down next to me he still has like 28k. He calls a few raises preflop in like the first 6 hands he sees but just mucks to cbets. On around the 7th hand he gets dealt... Utg +1 opens to 600... this old guy is on the button and 3bets to 2500... i am in the small blind with KK now some may say flatting is the best play... i don't like to do this there i think i should have 4 bet smaller than i did and then folded to his shove... i made it 7100 (shoulda made it around 64-6600 i think) and after the initial raise folded... old man insta IM ALL IN! i tanked for around 30 seconds saying o thats so sick i know u have AA aight i call and he tables AA... board runs Q J 8 A 4 and im out. I dont think that guy is ever showing up there with QQ or AK so my call with KK is pretty bad i think... altho its tough with such little info on the guy... i mean a guy who shows up 2 hours late to a 10k event may just not care about money and be willing to gamble it up for 130 bbs with AK or QQ. pretty sick but o well.
going to go play in my bball game 2nite... first time playing in around 2 months God help me... i just hope we have subs cuz i will be sucking wind.

Good Luck in Vegas Jason. I've been to Vegas once, on Uncle Ralph and my 20th anniversary and he had to pull me away. I wanted him to transfer there so I could live there and get a job in the casino's. I tried online absolute poker, but they throw cards around the table sooo fast, that I just go all in, just to get out of there. ha ha. In Vegas I stick strictly to the slots.
