Vegas: Day 1

So got into Vegas yesterday and our place that we are staying in is amazing. I think tomorrow I am going to take pictures of the house and post them, but just trust me when I say that this is the type of house any Bachelor would want. Met my roommates for the first time yesterday as well. Pete is a professional player from New Jersey and Barry is software designer (I think) from the UK. All of us seem to be getting along very well, which I am very happy about.

Ok. So my first day at the WSOP started out very rocky. I hesitantly entered the 2.5k 6max NL tournament and felt a little bit out of my element. I play 6max cash online, but I have never played a 6max tournament before. I doubled up very early in the tournament and then went on to blow away most of my chips on a bluff and then loose a coin flip with my AK losing to 1010.

I then relaxed for a little bit and decided to go play in a satellite. I had heard that the live satellites at the RIO are extremely soft, but the table that I was playing at wasn't nearly as soft as I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, there were a couple of awful players, but surprisingly there were about 4 other players (Besides me) that were above average. In the satellite, I went on a little bit of a heater and got down to 3 handed. At this point, I excelled because the other players did not adjust properly and I stole a bunch of blinds and chipped up quite quickly. I then busted one of the other players and chopped with the final guy left, I took most of the money because I had a massive chip lead at that point.

So after day 1 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +400
I think that I am going to blog everyday and keep a running total of my winnings. Well, I'm going to go downstairs and have a beer with my roommates and then pass out. PEACE!
