Greetings from Las Vegas

I'm very aroused!!! Landed here in Las Vegas yesterday and can't wait to get playing my first wsop event of 2009.

As usual the flight was shit. I'm not a great flyer at the best of times but being on my own and the bad turbulence made it a bit of a nightmare. I'm also a really moody flyer which makes it difficult to enjoy the entertainment. I watched Milk and Valkyrie which were both quite good but i'm sure i would have enjoyed them a lot more if the screen was bigger, sound was better and i wasn't constantly thinking about plunging to my death from 30 thousand feet.

Moving quickly on, the house is awesome. Five double rooms, A+ Pool table and a really nice swimming pool outside. The weather is ideal. It's hot but not as crazy as last year so i spent yesterday outside just lapping up the sun and trying my best to stay awake. I'm already -$60 on the pool table playing $20 a rack but hoping i can improve on my 2-5 record throughout the holiday.

One good thing that has come out of my current lifestyle is the ability to deal with jetlag. Despite only getting 3 hours sleep on the friday and not sleeping on the plane, i was able to stay up till 10pm saturday night, (which would be 6am UK time). I was then able to sleep 9 hours and get up at 7am this morning. My first event is tomorrow at noon so the plan is to stay up till midnight tonight, get another 9 hours and then get to work. I'll be writing tourney reports on my gutshot blog as well as on this one. The only difference is on this blog i will be writing tons of random crap as well. If you only really care about the poker side of things just click on the link from one of my previous posts and that will take you to my gutshot blog.

Before i go i just want to say that Newquay was epic!! Although we didn't see more than 5 hours of sun in 4 days the drinking and general banter was fantastic and the dressing up was hilarious. My body has just about got over it but drinking that amount in four days is quite a challenge and probably not a good idea. Personal highlights include the all round performance of Michael Alp, the dressing up of big tone, Brad Larks 10/10 ipod and Tom 'the ranger' Parkinson asking if he can do a girl up the arse that he had met 2 days before, kids these days!!
