Vegas days 8-14

So after two weeks in Vegas I have decided that tournament poker is very draining. I know almost all tournament players could of told me this already, but once you experience this agony of defeat over and over it wears on you. Although I have lost roughly 10k playing tournaments and satellites over the last 2 weeks, I am actually up $40 (American) so I don't fell too horrendous. Anyways here is the recap per day for the last week.

Vegas Day 8
Didn't do very much serious poker, just played some 10-20 Omaha 8 until the wee hours of the night. Was fun and was some practice for the horse event that I will be playing.

So after day 8 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +5625

Vegas Day 9
During week 1 of my trip, I played 6 Satellites and cashed in 4 of them. This was a very high cash % and I knew it wouldn't last, but I haven't cashed in any since. Including day 9 of my trip, which I was 0 for 3 at.

So after day 9 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +3145

Vegas Day 10
Played in the PLO $540 tournament at the Venetian. It was a very good structure. I actually played against a couple of pros during the tournament (including Scott Fischman) and a ton of Europeans. When it was all said and done, I was the bubble boy (meaning they paid 27 and I finished 28th). It was a very surreal experience, but it will probably help me in the long run.

So after day 10 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +2625

Vegas Day 11
I played in the nightly tournament at the Rio and in the Mega satellite and didn't do well in either. Ran poorly, and played below average. Wasn't the worst experience ever, but I feel that I need to do better.

So after day 11 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +1225

Vegas Day 12
Went to the Rio and played in the 2k WSOP event. Was playing well and running good, until I ran my AKs into AA blind vs blind. It has been standard for me to run into aces for the hand that cripples me or knocks me out of the WSOP tournaments so I am not too worried about how I have played in those tournaments. Played in a 1k Satellite right after I busted, which was a bad idea since I was steaming. Played bad in that and lost the 1k really quickly. That night I came back and played some Stud Hi-Low online and did pretty well. Recouped about half of my losses on the day.

So after day 12 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = -455

Vegas Day 13
Again played in a WSOP NL event. Ran really well early. Was playing amazingly. Then 70 people away from the money, I flopped top two pair against Aces when I was a bigger stack against a monster stack. All the money went in on the flop and he went runner runner straight to knock me out. It was extremely frustrating playing all day, then having a bad beat knock you out of the tournament. But, I came home again and played Stud Hi-Low and recouped most of my losses again.

So after day 13 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +-855

Vegas Day 14
I woke up around noon today and started playing Stud Hi-Low again online before the horse tournament that I will be playing tonight and did very well. Won a good 900 before I will be leaving the house today, so it is starting to turn around again. I am now off to go to the Rio to play the horse tournament, which I feel very confident about. I hope I run well and beat up on people that don't know how to play horse.

So after day 14 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = +45

Update: Played really well in the Horse tournament today but missed going to day two by 30 minutes. Felt good about my play, just didn't get enough cards today.

Updated: So after day 14 of my Vegas trip my total win/loss = -1450

CHEERS!!!
