A FEW NEW TOYS

So, just got back from The Orleans. Played in one of their tourament events, a $200 plus one rebuy NoLimitHoldem. Put $400 into the event. Got sucked out on in the 3rd hour of play when my AK lost to some clown's KQ. Well, thats the way it goes in this game. Better to be lucky than good.....

Been making some good money playing online so I bought myself a new computer (my laptop is 3 years old) and two brand new, 21", flat panel monitors. Fuckin' sick. Plus I'm looking at buying a car. Not anything too expensive, maybe spend a few grand. Just something to get me around for a year or two. What I really wanna do is drive thru California and then cross the country and wind up in Boston. The ill cross country drive.

Talked to Jake today; he might be joining me on my fuckin' nomadic poker/life/bullshit journey come early September.

So, shit's been running pretty well.

I miss Boston, hopefully I'll be visiting there soon enough.

JUST ANOTHER TUESDAY IN VEGAS

Had two losing session earlier today....one at the Bellagio 10-20NL game and then I headed over to the Wynn, where I played 5-10 for about 8 hours and also lost. Eh, thats the way it goes. But it wasnt all bad, a couple buddies of mine were over playing at the Wynn, so although I lost money, I still had a good time, which is sometimes impossible to attain when ur losing.....In what other profession can you go to work for almost 12 hours and lose money????

Also stopped by the Rio in the afternoon and it was a fucking zoo. The spectators around the remaining tables were 5-10 rows deep in some spots. Poker is a spectator sport now; insane.

Actually, a pretty cool thing happened today: I got a call from a woman at the World Series of Poker asking me if I would do an interview with a reporter from the Boston Globe. Sounds like a pretty cool deal--- be in one of the local papers back home talking about my poker playing. But then by accident I erased the message along with the reporter's phone number. So, hopefully I'll find a way to get in touch with this guy and do the interview. That'd be sweet for sure.

Anyways, catching a little sleep before gettin' back on the grind tomorrow.

Night...

DUNSKI

Just busted outta pokerstars big sunday tournament. I got pretty deep, 450 left out of 3000, but my top pair was no match for a turned set and like Sklansky says about tournament poker: "You're broke; you're done."

So that's that; gonna catch up on a little sleep and then head over to the Bellagio, hopefully to rape some 10-20NL.

Sunday Blues

Been over at the Rio the past couple days checking out the 3 seperate heats of "Day 1" of the main event.....fuckin' mayhem!

Gonna take it easy today, tho, play some of the big tournies online, chill out, watch some tv, and get myself prepared for the ongoing weekly grind. aight folks, gotta get those tables goin. lata

Too much to say

So, if you're reading this, you probably know that im in las vegas, living, at least for the next couple months as a professional poker player. I've been in vegas since May 24th, two days after my 21st birthday. Just moved into an apartment about a month ago, amazing. So, this page is just gonna be a little insight into me and my new life in las vegas. Shit's poppin off, where were u?
