I’ve just been takin it easy the last couple weeks. My run in the NAPT Mohegan Sun event lasted less than an orbit. I think it’s the first time I busted level 1 of a main event structured tournament. I got my money in on the turn with the nuts, drawing dead lol. KJo vs Brian Lemke’s Kd Jd on the board of Td 9x 3x Qd. So we both had the same nut straight but I failed to hold. Brian made a straight flush and I headed out the door. At least it wasn’t deep in the event.

Afterwards I went to Jackson NJ and hung out at Ray’s for a couple days before going home. I was there to play the Borgata $7.5k, but just wasn’t feeling it and booked an early flight home.

The WSOP is all of a sudden only a month away. I’m currently up in the air as far as where I’m staying. I actually am considering just getting a room at the Rio for a couple weeks at a time, maybe crash at a friends place for awhile between stretches of events I don’t play. I’m not going to put the kind of pressure I put on myself last year as far as playing as many events as possible. I’m also going to put an effort into grinding some live SNG sats and cash games. I’ll probably play around 12-18 events this summer, but I could see myself getting into a groove a getting over 20 again. We’ll see, but I’m really excited about the WSOP. I’m ready to redeem myself after last year’s run.

I’m currently contemplating an impulsive trip back to AC. I think I might fly in tomorrow and play the last prelim’s ($1.5k NL, $1k 6max NL and $3.5k NL main). Put in some more live cash sessions as well.

That’s all for now, cya around.

I’ve been living back in Ohio for a couple weeks now. Surprisingly I don’t have a huge pit in my stomach asking myself “what have I done?!?!”

The next tournament I’ll be playing is NAPT Mohegan Sun. I haven’t played much poker at all lately and told myself I wouldn’t play until the next time I really felt like it. I’m going back to my old approach of less quantity, higher quality play. Only playing events I feel like and schedule them in advance. These are all things I could get away with not doing (or half-assedly doing) when I lived in Vegas, because it all came to me. It’s a weird psychological thing, but I’m sure it’s part of the reason why my live results suffered last year.

Anyways, I am looking forward to the Mohegan Sun event. After the NAPT I’m probably gonna drop by the Borgata in Atlantic City for their tourney series, which has a $7.5k HR and $3k ME. I’ll see how I feel after Mohegan and go from there.

Later,
