WSOP plans

Last Thursday I was bored with my normal routine of SNG's so I decided to enter the same WSOP satellite, the 30+3 rebuy at 15:00 ET, that I won last year to get my seat. I hadn't played in any cash satellites for the world series yet this year. Well after winning a few key coinflips and having all my big hands hold up I took down 1st and the main event package. Ship it!

Now, I have to figure out how long I want to be out in Vegas. Some of the early NL events are going to be full of mega donkeys so not going out there and playing in them would be a huge financial mistake. I'm definitely going to be out there in early June and most likely the majority of the time. I had thought about going to Spain in Mid May to visit my Aunt and a friend but I really need to be concentrating on building my roll up for Vegas. The WPT just added an event in Barcelona in October so I can always go then.

Back and ready to stop being lazy

Damn, I've been lazy. Hawaii and Australia were amazing(some pics below). Unfortunately, I came down with some nasty cough in Mid January and didn't stay in Australia as long as I would've liked. I did get to play in 2 events in the Aussie Millions. I cashed in 24th place in event 7(Results) . Didn't do as well in the main event as I only lasted about 6 hours. With 30 big blinds I pushed over a raiser and a caller only to run into AA. Overall I thought played ok. I misplayed 1 or 2 hands but really nothing incredibly donkish. If all goes as planned I'll be making another trip over there next year.

After I came back I had a decision on whether to get a place in my hometown or make the jump to Las Vegas. I went out to Vegas to look at places but realized that I really wasn't ready to live the Vegas lifestyle. Instead I got probably the sweetest apartment in Cape Girardeau. It's 2400 sq ft and has a loft/office that overlooks the river.





Overlooking Waipio Valley on the Big island. There's a mile long road to the bottom in which you are only supposed to drive down if you have 4 wheel drive. Needless, to say the walk back up it was a helluva workout.



One of the many waterfalls that I saw. This one is supposedly the biggest in Hawaii.



This was my "best" picture. It's was taken at A'Beach about 30 miles north of Kona.
