PLO Day 2 here I come

Just got done with Day 1 of the 2500 PLO. I am roughly 5th in chips with about 105 left from 596 starting and 54 cashing. Kind of odd they are paying <10%>AAJ3CC on KQ6CC flop,Brick Brick turn and river and I instantly shot over 50k in chips with this hand and never looked back.

This is now my 6th event at this years series with 2 cashes and feel good about this one. But its PLO and we all know how quickly the chips can get in the middle in this game. As far as cash games things have been going really well. Had a few good PLO sessions last week and also a +2k 1-3 intoxicated NLHE at Aria where I think I won 80% of pots. Cool PLO cash game hand I got there against Benba, Tony Lay, and some random for about 6kish. I try to islolate a shortstack shove which would put me getting 2-1 AIP with the QJ85 (J high diamonds). My plan backfired as Benba shoved for 900, I reshove to 2600 (my stack) and almost immediatly Tony calls with 1200 effective and the guy behind him calls who has me coverend. Flop comes J22 and runs out Diamond Diamond to make me a J high flush and scoop. HAI.

Besides that nothing much has been going on here. Flights are cheap through allegiantair.com right now so if anybody is thinking about coming out be sure and look on there sight. Thats all I got for now so off to bed and back to DAY 2 at 2:30 tomorrow.

Bagging Chips

On to the next day On to the next day........ Well I'm in my 4th WSOP event and have made Day 2 for the second time. Really feel I played very well today then ran unlucky again on the last orbit. I will have 13.9K when I get back for Day 2 on Monday at 400-800 blinds with AVG being around 23k so I will be nitting up again to make the $ assuming I'm not already in it when we start; then looking for a good spot after that. Wish there were some interesting hands but as usual its tourney poker and nothing that special. Prob the highlight of the day was raising 5 straight hands, getting flatted by 1 person all 5, C-betting flop and them instantly folding.

As I type it is 12:30am here and I have been playing since noon today so I'm extremely tired. Will be playing Sunday's online tomorrow at Benba's then back for day 2 of the 1k Monday and hopefully moving on in that. Whenever it is over I plan on taking a day off. I have been grinding pretty much non-stop since arriving in LV and really need just a full day to relax and regroup. However it is really hard when you know your playing extremely well and all these chances to play in soft games. I used to read about all the pros talking about the tough schedule of the WSOP and think to myself "its poker" how can it be that tough. Well take it from me, I am drained and we are just getting started. Thanks to everybody who has been following on twitter and keeping me positive at all times. It truely helps out when you take a bad beat or are getting really tired and look down to GL gogogogogogogo more than you would think. Thank you also to Lindsey and Tessa who have been putting up with me being on edge for the last 2 weeks and going out of there way every chance possible to make things easy on me.

GL and GN,
