Unless sommat big happens out here im just gnna do boring titles for blogs as above.
After repacking my overweight rucksack at check in into my case then getting my rucksack searched at customs i finally got on the plane. Paid bit extra for some legroom and managed to get off the plane 5th as i was right next to the exit door. Even got a few hours sleep = bonus. Despite getting through US customs quicker than ever my luggage still meant the usual wait but at least it wasnt in a queue which does my head in. Had to fill out the >$10k cash form but go no hassle from the security and made it to Bellagio bout 4pm as plane had left 45 mins later than scheduled.
After chilling and sorting me room out i ventured down to the poker room and got on the 30/60 hi lo limit omaha game i had played a few months ago. This had the usual "half-kill" which basically means if u scoop a pot the limits are 40/80 and u post a compulsory extra blind of 40 in the next hand (unless already in a blind in which case its 40 total). A few hours later i left for a $1,100 profit, my eyes are very tired now and im hoping to get a really good nights sleep.
Thursdays plan is the noon Caesars $1,060 if im up for it then maybe some more limit or plo cash later depending how long i last in it. If i do bust earlyish i may well head to the Rio to check out the action there and buyin for the $1,500 omaha hi lo limit tournament which starts noon Friday.

MAY it not be over soon
As much as im itching to get out into the WSOP scene the month of May has been fantastic for me. Next post will contain final profit before i get on that plane but barring something drastic i will post my 2nd best ever month. Ive also got those relaxed & confident feelings that i felt big time in Feb this year and know this can only do good things for my play at the tables.
Ive made $3,500 and £1,000 investments in staking two players in events out there so hopefully will get some fun from following them if they go deep in anything. Any returns are a bonus, its a +ev move regardless of results as i know them both personally and have played with both before. Looking for other possible staking opportunities out there too if my $ last long enough.
Had complete day off from poker today after 2 nights on the booze and a couple of +ive drunk sessions at the tables. I think every other day since the last post has been in profit which is obviously great. Better than that i had a £10,000 daily profit in there where i played for under 4 hours and thought i would get compacent so shut very early on a nice high.
Right i guess i better start packing :( but it is worth it :))

Good Build Up With Time Off
Didnt play too much last week after the last post. Managed a couple of £1k-£2k day profits despite that though. I then managed to resist playing and have a complete full 2 days off including a very drunk Fri night which didnt result in a laptop being booted up and a memory loss session thankfully :)
Today i made a quick £5,000 on the usual $10/$20 pl omaha but returned later for a long up and down session. Stayed in profit though and after dropping some of that earlier stuff i finally got it back and finished £5,500 up on the day. I wont mention my May total profit on here until im finished but its looking locked up now to be a great month even if i drop some back in the next week before i leave for Vegas. I keep reminding myself i did lose £12,000 in March and £12,000 in April and this seems to have motivated me beyond anything else this month. It helps to run good too :) Ive also avoided the 25/50$ games apart from that one $2,000 slip so the discipline has been good for me. Could do with leaving for Vegas now as my attitude, effort and enjoyment factors are all just right but i'll just have to keep it that way for one more week.

Maximum Vegas Anticipation
I might have been to Las Vegas 7 times before but ive never been this excited about it before. Ive only played 2 WSOP events before (main 2006 & 2007) and this time i plan to play between 5 and 15 events at my best estimate. Combine that with events at the Bellagio, and ones at the Venetian and Caesars. Ive even got Golden Nugget and Binions possible tourneys. Ive done a big excel sheet with nearly all my possible tournaments to choose from listed with a few obvious definite ones highlighted. The one im unsure about is the main event and this will rest on how ive done in the weeks before and how well i feel about my game and my stamina so will be a last minute decision.
All being well the first WSOP one will be event 3 - $1,500 limit hi lo omaha midday on the 29th May (arrive on 27th) which should ease me in with nice easy decisions for an experienced player like myself. I may well play Bellagio or more likely Caesars $1,060 the day before though if im not too tired from the travels.
Im also looking forward to playing limit hi lo omaha cash in the Bellagio again although the locals i befriended there informed me there is likely to be a juicy 75/150$ game at the Rio during the WSOP which can be a donkfest. Hopefully get some PL cash omaha in somewhere too.
Ive only ever stayed 18 nights max before (main 2006) and actually wanted to go home early that trip (the only time). This time im planning to be there for 6 weeks. As i probably mentioned in a previous post im staying in the Bellagio until June 11th then i move to Meridian Suites (see links at side) until 9th July if i survive. I will play more live poker than ive done before so it will be interesting to see how i cope with it all. I definitely will blog on here regularly at the very least just to try and stay sane ! Looking to buy a house in the fall and 6 weeks may prove to long for future trips. I wanted to give it one good 100% effort attempt to see if its my cup of tea and make decisions for future years hopefully a bit easier either way.
