Just two days to go

I depart for sunny Las vegas in just two days. It's nearly a year since i was last there so really looking forward to it.

I think i will probably play around 15 events over the course of the next five weeks, including the HORSE, a few Omaha events and NL Hold'em of course. In Europe all the big tournaments are NL Hold'em, so it will be good to be able to play some different forms of poker. Hopefully there will be some juicy PL Omaha cash games to get stuck into as well.

My first event is the $5000 PL Omaha with rebuys and add ons. Could be an expensive way to start the trip. I'll post another update after i've played that one.

"Bad Beat" before WSOP starts

The "Bad Beat" did not happen on the poker-table but rather in my holiday in Thailand and on the flight home. Like in so many countries with extremly hot temperatures the hotels, restaurants and other buildings like cinemas get cooled down to artic temperatures, usually by an air con that blows right into your neck. As I know that I am quite vulnerable to that I tried to be "careful" but somehow the obligatory air con-cold was unavoidable for the last 2 days of my stay there. As if that would not have been bad enough, despite wearing a hooded sweater and wearing the hood on the flight home the thing grew to a inflammation of the right middle ear. :-( And that means I am not allowed to fly for a week and had to cancel my flight that was booked for today. Of course I am pretty disappointed, I really had looked forward to tomorrows $5K Mixed Hold`em Event. But what can you do, health has to be priority number one and I have now rearranged for June7 by which I am hopeful to be ready to go. That would still give me plenty of time and opportunities over in Vegas.

As I otherwise feel fine I will try to make best use of this extra week at home and grind it out on Betfairs SnG tables. I am happy to report the liquidity is getting much better and especially the 200s+300s are filling quite nicely in the evening.

See you at the tables, Buzzer
