Escaping this evil place

July 10, 2009 // Posted by DeathDonkey in Life  

My typical WSOP cycle of not caring, then being super excited to go to Vegas and play WSOP events, and finally hating the city and wanting to go home has reached its inevitable conclusion, and headed home I am just as soon as I pack up all my stuff and make the long, boring drive. Last summer I cashed in 3 straight events including a final table, but ended up stuck in the cash games after dumping back 25k the last few days of my trip. I managed to reverse the process somewhat this summer, going 0 for 4 in WSOP events, never sniffing the money, but somehow winning a good chunk in the live games. I even played a session yesterday at Bellagio after nothing for over a week, fearing I would dump some back like I did last summer, but booked a small win in my final session and happily I am heading home with more money than I came with, which is always a win in Vegas.

The best part of the summer has been getting to see the behind the scenes of KRANTZ's reality show, and hanging out with all the DC crew, owners, coaches, and friends. The poker has been ok too. I ran insanely good on credit card roulette's for dinner this summer, and ran good in most of the cash games I played, really can't find much to complain about besides no tournament results. Happy to head home, get back to "normal", make some videos and pick up the programming, as I've been pretty lax on my non poker responsibilities while being out here.

    DD,

    Welcome home. Will you be making the trek to O-11 anytime soon? I think you need to life felt HowMany, so we can stop hearing about his whining about how he runs bad all the time. :-)

    DD,

    I live in Phoenix, I could have told you that August is the worst month to come out here. Try February where ya need a hoodie in the early mornings and shorts in the afternoons. March is just perfect weather out here, great golfing weather!
