Vegas Recap I: May 28th – June 16th
Between the video blogs and the other blogs I have written since getting to Vegas a lot of it has been real brief poker results without much content so I decided to do a longer recap now. First off, the house we have is absolutely amazing and I really feel at home. I couldn't ever live right on the strip so this is the ultimate place for me if I am going to be in Vegas for any period of time. As I mentioned in the video blog I have played 5 events so far and cashed for about 15k total on about 10k of buyins, so its been pretty "meh". Outside of poker I've been having a blast here with my roommates though. For those who don't know I live with 4 other online pros including Andy "Badgerpro" Schultz, Michael "mman_status" Meredith, Chris "SLOPPYKLOD / MrDoggy" Klodnicki and Tony "D1rtyR1v3r" whose last name I don't even know, haha.
As a house we didn't start off the series very well with Chris starting 0/7, I started 1/5, Mikey started 0/5 with Badger and D1rty starting 0/1 each. We've in general been killing it online here and as a house I think we've won about $100k since we got here but our biggest score came last night when Chris took down 2nd in the $1500 Razz for about $100k, eventually losing to Barry. Now that we've popped our FT cherry this year I am really hoping we can get another deep run out of someone. Big congrats to him though for an awesome run.
Outside of poker as a whole we've been having a great time going out in Vegas. We've hit up Tao a couple times and met some really cool people along the way. If anyone here ever gets a chance to get a table on the Tao roofdeck I suggest doing so, it was a great time. Other then that we've hit up Pure once (last night) which was ridiculously fun as well and Moon 2 nights ago which was much fun. Tryst though, takes the cake for least fun hot spot in Vegas. Overall we've had some absolutely ridiculous things have already happened and I can pretty much guarantee this has been one of the funnest 4 day period of my life. A lot of the things that have transpired here probably aren't even Kosher for this blog, so I'll let you guys use your imagination.
I am playing some $1500s this week at the WSOP and am then shipping back to Boston for a few days before coming back for the WSOP ME and might stay out here an extra week for my 25th bday on July 24th. Thats all for now, talk to you all soon. Also will do some videos back in Boston to get some new content.
