Back from Vegas OH yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just came back from Las Vegas on Monday morning, and I had the time of my life it was a much needed vacation. My trip to Las Vegas was for several reasons:

  • I have never been before, so I wanted to see what it was like.
  • Take a much needed vacation from work.
  • Help one of my friends enjoy his last few days of freedom before marriage.
  • Test my poker game in a real brick and mortar casino.

You may have noticed a new logo on the top of my site, thanks to my friend Greg from http://www.halloftheblackdragon.com for creating the logo for me.

I didn't play in as many tournaments as I had hoped to play in during my time in Vegas, I was pretty much awake the entire time, and I managed to play in 2 Poker Tournaments among all the buffets, clubs, women, and crappy driving taxi's.

I will make 2 separate posts for the poker tournaments, so that I can get in depth with them I really learned a lot and feel that I came out of it as a better player. Let's say both tournaments were 2 opposite extremes of each other.

I am really anxious to get home tonight to see the WPT Championship, I already konw Tuan Le wins, but the rumor that Habib was dumping chips to Tuan has been rampant for a little while now, so I want to see first hand if I can pickup on it, or if it really happened. John Phan was also at the final table and this guy has made one hell of a push at the WSOP he is currently leading the player of the year standings, I knew he was a good player, but I never thought he would take over the scene this quickly.

I looked up my poker stats on http://www.pokerprophecy.com and it's close to accurate I think they miss some games, but here are the stats as of yesterday:
