It's been awhile since I made a post. I'm back from Vegas and we all had a great time. I played in 3 tournaments and did well in all 3 but, only cashed in one. I played 2 at Caesar's and one donkament at O'sheas. I cashed in the O'sheas tourney. These people had no idea how to play poker. We were down to the final table and half the table has between 5-10BB and no one is pushing. Well we get down to 4 players and I have about 6BB left. I've been pushing a good bit and I look down at A9 UTG. Well, no thought here, I push. The BB is the chip leader and to call it would be about 25% of his stack. He says, "I can't let you continue to do this." He calls with K2 and I'm delighted until a K hits the flop and I'm out. Wish I could play with that dude every day. I would win a ton of money.
I've started to play HU SNGs. I was looking on Sharkscope and all the guys who make money play HU SNGs. I decided to give this a try. So far so good. My bankroll is climbing in the right direction again. I plan on starting at the $5 Turbo HU SNGs and progress from there. I think it's great because of the number of tournaments you can play. If you hit some bad variance, you can always fire up another tourney and get started on a hot streak. Here's a great website I found with some great information about HU SNGS: HoldemForaLiving
BrainMc and I went over to the RIO to watch some of the WSOP Main Event. I've always had a crush on Isabelle Mercier and who do we see at the entrance? Yep, the beautiful Isabelle. I'm drooling all over myself and get the courage to ask her for a picture. She looked like she was in a hurry and was nice enough to pose with me. Also, got a picture with Scotty Nguyen. No beating off to the Isabelle pic.
