Las Vegas Review

A profitable trip, about $2900 (about 50/50 cash/tourneys) less a bit for small gambles here and there, so say $2500 or £1,250 to go into Julys profit. That makes the last 3 trips to Las Vegas profitable, ie the perfect excuse to return at my pleasure :)

Live poker for me has taken another step up in standard, i now seem to translate a lot more of my online variable style across whilst combining it with instinctive reads and more confidence at the table. Obviously sometimes i was wrong but generally i was right often enough that i felt so good about my game.

As for the wsop main event i can only take the postives out of it before the downfall on the preflop favourites i lost. Detail on previous post so i wont waffle on again.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club was a great base for me and i will definitely stay there again. It suited the holiday/poker trip separating the chilling by the pool from the casinos. Out of season without a pool i wouldnt stay there but its ideal for what it cost and the location wasnt too bad either.

Note to self for future trips is that the gatwick 15 nights parking and the ramada plaza hotel booked through APH was very very good value compared to the previous dump hotel i stayed in.

As usual ive overindulged in food/drinks and probably lost most of any fitness i gained b4 the trip having only used the gym once :( Length of stay was good this time, once again im not too bothered about staying longer but at the same time i was bit gutted earlier to be leaving. 14 nights may be optimal for future but i must bear in mind there were people i met up with out here so it was different to Feb trip in that sense.

Laptop is always a must for contact, email etc, but i actually havent played a single game of online poker out here so Julys online stuff will begin when i get back.

I will return for sure, unlikely this year although theres always the option if i need to get away or even coming here first for a week then flying to St Kitts. Its probably more likely i will return in March-May time next year when its just hot enough to use the pools in the day, but thats a long way off anyway.
