The calm before the storm

Friday morning is my departure date for Las Vegas. My itinerary looks something like this:

6/1 - Drive to KC. Have a few brewskis and stay with my brother
6/2 - Drive to Colorado Springs. Probably shoot myself for thinking driving out to Vegas was a good idea.
6/3 - Hike up Pike's Peak. I'm not in the best of shape but it's supposedly not that difficult to do.
6/4 - Very undecided on this. Thinking about swinging down to The Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park(http://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htm) and then to Black Canyon of Gunnison(http://www.nps.gov/blca/index.htm). Might skip one or both as it adds about 3 hours onto the driving time and go directly to Arches(http://www.utah.com/nationalparks/arches.htm). Either way I plan on staying in Moab that night.
6/5 - Arches and Canyonlands Nat'l Park(http://www.utah.com/nationalparks/canyonlands.htm). Probably stay in St. George that night.
6/6 - Would like to head up to Zion Nat'l Park but I'll be more than likely be too bushed. Since Zion is only 2 1/2 hours away from Vegas it'll be a nice getaway from LV when I'm sucking wind at poker.


Once I get out to Vegas I'm going into full poker pro mode. I plan on playing in a lot of the venetian deep stack events and a few of the WSOP $1500 events. Since online sites no longer buy in players directly to the main event I'm not sure I'll be playing in it. The field is going to have less dead money and if I just had a month of losing 10k+ I doubt I'll want to drop another 10k on one tourney. Hopefully I run good. One time!

April Results. Thank God.

Notice how I didn't post any results from December-March? December and January I was Hawaii and Australia and didn't play much so that's my excuse for those 2 months. I did win a little but nothing special. Febuary and March were probably my worst two months of poker ever. I experienced a good ole 100 buy in downswing at the 60's and never really put in any sort of volume(it's tough to play when it seems you lose every session). After those two negative cash flow months I decided to work on my game a little and drop down a level during the day when the games were tough. Either I had some huge leaks that I fixed or my doom switch was deactivated.
