BeastVegas.net coming soon...
Been playing a shitload of poker the past 72 hours or so. The other night I won a $5 tournament on PokerStars for about 2k. It started with about 1800 people so I pretty psyched to take it down; it's been awhile since I've had a good online tourney finish.
Then on Thursday I met with with Chris at the Bellagio to play in the $540 tourney they have every Thurs/Fri/Sat, i think. I tried to satellite in but didnt make it. Chris did, but busted early on in the tournament.
There was also the last few tables of a major buyin event ($10,000) going on in the poker room. Ferguson, Gracz, Harrington, Liebert, Hanson, and a bunch of others were all there playing. It was good shit to see all those big names playing against one another, although I've seen all of them before and even played with a bunch of them in the WSOP. You shoulda seen the rail on the outside of the tournament tables, it was mayhem. T.V. made poker players into superstars, it's fuckin' hilarious.
So, while Chris played in that tournament, I sat down at the 10-20NL shortstacked with only about $600 in front of me (the minimum buyin for that game at the Bellagio). I hadn't played at this limit in over a month, but I was feeling good about my game and wanted to give it another try. Well, I sat down and soon after Mel Judah and Paul Wolfe both came to the table. These aren't two of the biggest names in poker, but Mel has been around for a while and won a WPT event; Paul has been playing great tournament poker that last few years and also has a couple major titles under his belt. So, it was a little intimidating, but after I took a $1800 pot off Judah, and got Wolfe to lay down the best hand, I was feeling pretty good. So, i went on to more than triple up and leave with about a 2k profit. Any addition to my bankroll at this point is a worthwhile addition.
So, Chris busted out of that tourney and I got up from the table a little while later to go and cheer him on at the MGM, where he was chipleader and almost in the money at a tourney there. He ended up busting out on the bubble; that sucks. I played craps for awhile at the MGM and actually made a few hundred, which was definitely sweet. I love craps, but its a fuckin' killer most of the time.
Later that night we went to the Plaza for a $100 buyin tourney. I busted on the FT right before the money but he ended up chopping 1st with another guy and so we both made out about $250 to the good. I think we're gonna continue to rape these donkfest low buyin events around vegas.
I'm probably going to L.A. on Sunday to play in the 9th Annual National Championship of Poker at the Hollywood Park Casino. I'm gonna play in the $300 NL on Monday and the $300 Limit on Tuesday, and if I do well in either of them I'm going to stay for the rest of the events including the $2,000NL championship event on the 30th. We'll see how it goes...
....Keep on keepin' on....
