Home sweet home.

So i'm back home now after the 16 days in Vegas and on the whole i'm going to say that it's nice to be back, apart from obviously the shit weather. Its the middle of July where is the fucking sun?
Las Vegas is certainly an interesting place. Very glamorous, exciting and non stop action all over the place its also in the middle of the desert which just adds to the unique appeal of the city. Even though i enjoyed the trip and made plenty of $ i wouldn't like to be there for over a month the constant sounds of the slot machines and the over the top attidude of most of the locals quickly gets annoying and at the risk of sounding like an old man sometimes its nice to put on your dressing gown and have a cup of tea without a 40 year old waitress walking round with her top off yelling 'cocktails?'
I think the biggest regret of the trip is the fact that Will and I got to do very little outside playing poker. It would have been nice to see some more shows and go to a nightclub but the deep runs we both had in the main event prevented us from doing this.
As for the main event i still have mixed emotions. For my first go at it 191st is a great effort and i certainly am proud that i didn't change my game to much and wasn't afraid to bust at anytime. I played a few hands badly but on the whole think a played some very good poker and i really enjoyed the event from start to finish. Its just a shame A9 never wins, boooooooo. From a finacel point of few the trip was a massive success. For those of you that don't know i was staked for 80% of the main event so i only risked $2K of my own money. In total i took $3.3K over to Vegas with me and after spending a shitload on food and booze i came back with $15.4K so obviously i'm delighted with this and just as i think the month can't get any better within 2 days of being back in sunny London i have my biggest ever win online taking down the $320 $50K gtd on good old patry poker for $13.8K SHIPPPPPPPPPP IT!! I had to ship big Tony 10% for our swap (he misclicked all in v full house in the first level) but i was a nice feeling to be keeping the meat of my winnings after having to give away most of my main event gold.
Just one more piece of good news (i'm such a sick luckbox), for the first time in my life i actually won money staking. I gave $150 to my good friend Alec 'the boy' Howard to play the $30 rebuy $10K gtd and he came 2nd for $2.8K which meant he made me a nice $1350 profit. He played a very strong tourney and i think its even better making money without even playing the game.
So July is quickly becoming my favourite month poker is just going great and i'm now going to try and focus on getting rid of the weight i piled on in vegas. 10p/20p game on friday, can't fucking wait!!
