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.

£6k and not happy !
A tale of 2 halves today. Played fair bit and was winning well for hours. Then knew i was tired but decided i would push my luck further. After a break this resulted in bad play (obv bad luck as well) and tired unable to play on instinct pots being all indecisive. Result = my £12,000 profit quickly shrank to £6000 profit. Would have lost some neway but prob lost a good portion of that due to bad mindset.
Sunday i played £1,500-£2,000 worth of multis including the 1060euros on boss network. This was the only one i lasted several levels in but it wasnt many more after this pot. 10 handed guy utg+2 ships allin 2500 at blinds of 50/100 and manages to beat my AA with A9off . Unsurprisingly he bust before i did with almost as bad a move. I know freerollers get in these events but this was my biggest direct buyin online to date :( I'll save the luck for vegas, actually looking forward to live multis despite the fact i can hardly face online ones these days !

All Over The Shop
Been a strange week or so. Lost to begin with and floated between 0 and -£4000 for the first few days. Proceeded to climb in profit steadily for a few days and peak at £10k up. Then ran so bad for 2 days i was probably lucky not to lose more. Over £5000 a day lost but knew i wasnt doin much wrong so just went back as soon as my head was clear the next day. I also did $2,000 on 25/50 trying to spin up but in the context that could have been a lot more so wasnt too disasterous. Then Tuesday i ran great 1st hour and made £5,000 on 10/20$ but didnt stay in profit for long. Later i actually went down £4000 on the day before recovering and finishing £3,000 up. Still i knew i could have had a massive day as there was some shockin play about. This left me £600 down for the month until today (Weds).
Basically until my last 20mins (ive just finished) ive ran almost as good as i can. Nearly all 10/20 with tiny bit of 5/10. I peaked at £21,000 up for the day but i lost a $6,000 allin AAK5 dbl suited vs QJ109 1 suit (60/40) and thought i had better take that as a signal my luck had changed. Was tired as put in 7 hours or so just like the day before so needed to stop anyway.
Final profit for the day £17,500 which maybe is the most since my £50k win but is 100% my best daily win playin 10/20$ max omaha to date. I personally believe i was long overdue but then everyone says that so thats just a matter of opinion. Now just hope i dont get another downswing and i can use today to spring forward for May and record a decent figure before heading to Vegas (itching to get out there last few days, less than 3 weeks now). Sorry for this blog just being figures but i really just cant be bothered to post hand histories for omaha and wouldnt know what to put on anyway the 100s i play a day.
