POST VEGAS BLUES

So I have been Back from Las Vegas for 1 week where I stayed in London and what can I tell you.

I miss it!

On my last few days in Vegas I partied. It was a friend of ours 21st so we stayed out a little longer and I threw him a party he or any of will not forget for a long time. I am afraid I can not post any pictures on here or tell any stories but it was a blast!

I managed to reduce my debt before I left Las Vegas as I had a few good nights for a change.
I still left losing and losing by a fair amount but I did spend a lot of time and $ on the shopping. I think I came with 1 case and left with 4 but hey who’s counting!

We managed to get an upgrade at the airport and my friend kindly flew us home first class. This was great even though I did explain I would probably be asleep for the 10 hours as I had not slept good in 2 days and I had a wedding a few hours after we landed.

As I got on board and we took off I turned my chair into a bed ordered a drink and started to think about my trip.
6 weeks in Las Vegas living at the Wynn sounds good but not too easy. I nearly came home after 4 weeks as it started to all get on top of me.
I had some personal emotions to deal with also this year while trying to keep a clear head for playing. My girlfriend and I split up and knew exactly how to get to me. We decided amicably it was not working and she was going to move back to London. The sad news was she would be taking our dog that I have grown to love like I can not explain over the last 9 months we have had her.
Lola, which is the dog’s name, was a puppy when we got her and having a responsibility to walk, feed and care for each day as well as the fact she was a daddy’s girl and slept on my pillow every night was something I took on and loved every minute of.
I guess having 6 weeks away without them both was good as it would have been weird otherwise. I still miss the dog very much and see her when I go to London.
All in all I had a great trip in fact I had the time of my life, I meet some good people who are now friends and had some incredible experiences on my journey.

I will now be focusing on my work for 2 years and will build up all I have planned for the past 4 years. Poker is what I love but without being able to put the hours in it is hard to make it pay.

I saw my bad run continue in the UK where I was playing in a 5 5 plo game and flopping the nuts several times with big redraws seemed not to be enough against some lucky fish who somehow manage to hit 1 or 2 outers on me or in fact the runner, runner option which I think hurts more. LOL

I am now back home in my own bed in Marbella and will stay here for 1 week playing in my local games. I have set myself a task of wining 20K in a week. I am not sure if I will play every night but the games are certainly big enough to make this happen. Saying all of this I do have some friends staying with me and have set aside Fri and Sat night to see them so I do not have so long to play. ( I think 10K would be a beeter target and also a good week).
I will keep my blog updated to let you know how I do.

That’s all from me until later in the week so I hope it is hot where you are so you too can relax in the sun before playing.
