Day 3 busto

I just busted out the 2010 WSOP main event. I managed to finally get some chips to play with then lost a 120K flip with AK v QQ playing 600/1200/200. The hand itself is very standard and i think it represents my entire world series very well, double my stack then lose the next important hand i play. This seemed to happen in a lot of the events.

On the whole i'm extremely happy with the way i played this summer, especially in the main event. There isn't much i would change if i had to do it all over again. Unfortunately the reality is that i'm now enjoying a fairly brutal $16K downswing. The plan for the next few months is very simple: get back to England and get on the grind. Looking forward to the next world series already.

Hard Day 1

The good news is that i managed to make day 2. I only have 25 of my 30K starting stack but the blinds are only 200/400/50 so plenty of play left yet. My table was fairly soft with one guy in particular being terrible. The funny thing was the 'Italian stallion' ran his nuts off all day and finished with a 110K stack! I'm fairly happy with my decisions but a little frustrated about how the day went. I felt like i was in so many multi way pots against bad players with good hands but i just couldn't connect with a fucking thing. I really need to stop complaining about things outside my own control though and focus on the positives. I'm playing day 2A on Friday and all i can do is focus on making good decisions and hope to run much better than i did today. In the mean time I'm just going to relax and enjoy the holiday.

Main Event

I'm playing day 1A of the main event tomorrow. It's obviously the biggest and most prestigious event of the year and i'm fairly excited about playing in it for the third time. I'm a little annoyed that the recent downswing has prevented me from having a larger % of myself but all in all i'm just happy to be playing.

The latest side events did not go well. I busted both of them fairly early, one losing a flip and the other with AA v QQ all in pre. Away from the tables Vegas life has been a lot of fun. We've just been hanging out, drinking, watching the world cup and going out a lot for dinner/drinking/crazy shenanigans. A couple of the people in the house have been involved in some really fun situations with the ladies, most notably one William Brewin. Whilst i'm happy to write anything about myself on this page it probably isn't fair to write about his exploits, no matter how entertaining. Anyway i'm glad to report that on a personal note i've been behaving myself a bit better this year. My diet had been appalling and i've done very little exercise but life is good and i'm enjoying the whole Vegas experience, now to go and win the main event!
