Chilling in Vegas

Didn't make as much as I wanted to in May due to not getting in very many hours. The weather was amazing in May and I spent a ton of time outside, hiking, playing tennis, bbqing, etc. It would've been nice to make a ton of money but I'll gladly take the 8k or so I made and the good times I had.

I'm now out in vegas for the WSOP. However, I've only played in a few events and haven't cashed in any of them. For whatever reason I'm just not very into the Series this year. The more I'm around live poker the more I dislike it. It's just not as fun to play as it was when I was first learning. It also is a complete grind since the variance on the tournaments are so ridiculous. I'm convinced the only reason to play live events over online is to get a sponsership. Still trying to decide if I want to satellite my way into the main event. Almost played a mega satellite at the Rio today but just wasn't in the mood.

Online has been going really well for me this month. I'm slowly moving up and taking more shots at bigger games when I notice a fish. Played some 25/50 the other day and made 3k in less than 100 hands. Also crushed 10/20 for a bit. I'm not that comfortable playing that high just yet so I really need to grind the lower stakes to give me a little cushion in case I run bad at the higher stakes. I'm excited to play a lot in the next couple of months so I can put a lot of money away for the future.
