As of right now, I have not made it further than 4 hours in any MTT (MTT = Multi Table Tournament) and have only made it past 1.5 hours in one MTT. It has been very frustrating because of the fact that I have been preparing for MTTs for about 3-4 months and have not been doing well in them so far, but I have to understand that when it comes to MTTs that the variance is very high in them and that I am not going to cash in most of them, so just keep playing well and it will come.
Going through the days 2-5,
Vegas Day 2
I started the day with playing in the WSOP 1500 NL MTT and busted out within the first two hours so I was pretty upset. I then blew off some steam and played house games for about 3 hours, which was a bad idea because I lost 1000. I then went back to poker and played Satellites at the RIO and ran very well where I recouped most of my loses, which was very nice. The satellites at the RIO are as soft as I have been told so I think that they are the way I am going to earn my way into the Main Event of the WSOP.
So after day 2 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = -500
Vegas Day 3
There wasn't any WSOP events running that I wanted to play in so I decided to play in a Mega Satellite, which I ran pretty bad in and played bad in as well. I then went and played another satellite which ran awful in, but because I played extremely tight I got third which was +500 so I was happy about that. After poker for the day we went to the Palms restaurant in Caesars Palace. The food there was pretty good but the company was better. We went on a house date with a bunch of friends of ours who are staying in another house in Vegas. We are trying to imitate Baller poker players so we decided to do credit card roulette. This is how credit card roulette works, you put everyone's credit card in a bag and pull a card one by one until there is only 1 card left, the last card then pays for the whole meal. It was actually one of the funnest things that I have done in awhile and it gave me a big rush because my card was pulled third to last, but luckily I got a free steak dinner. Below are a couple photos of the group that I went to dinner with and the second picture is me feeding Barry as we shared are creme brou lei.
So after day 3 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = -505
Vegas Day 4
I played in another WSOP 1500 NL event and again I didn't get very far. I ran my queens into Aces and the fact that my chip count wasn't very high, I couldn't get away from the hand. I played cash afterwards and played even for a couple hours until my final roommate showed up so we decided to go meet him at our house and hang out with him. His name is Matt and he's from Texas. Pretty laid back in my opinion.
So after day 4 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = -2285
Vegas Day 5
Woke up this morning and decided I wanted to play cash games instead of tournaments and it went pretty well. Was playing pretty tight for about 4 hours, up about 400 and then I flopped a set of 3s in a monster pot and scooped up a pot of over 5k which is such a great feeling. Just a mountain of chips being pushed to you with hundred dollar bills mixed in it is one of the best feelings in the world. That pot recouped all of my tournament losses and now puts me ahead on the trip which feels awesome, I just hope that I can carry this momentum into tomorrow's MTT. Had dinner at Noodles in the Bellagio and the food was FANTASTIC and am now just winding down. Wish me luck in my quest for a WSOP bracelet.
So after day 5 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +515
