Update from Vegas

I am in Vegas for a week. Staying in the Wynn. It's ridiculous. Such a nice room, and hotel.

Thought I'd play a post-drinking session as always. Didn't go well. Ended -13k or so. I lost 15 to a really tight HU player who just got in some really good spots v me. All of FTP, which doesn't seem to like me at all.

I am now -14k for the month. I have only played 13k hands, because of travelling here and to Malta. I'm down 20k in EV again, which is annoying. I'm not sure I'll be able to get very many hands in for the rest of the month, so it may be my first losing month ever! (first under 10k profit too!).

I'm gonna try to buy a camera and take some pics of this room, it really is amazing.

Makes it worse by the fact he was playing really badly, tilting and getting allin with a lot of crappy hands. This is the worst shape I can possibly be in... I have 0.1% equity on the flop, which basically means I should be winning 1 out of 1000. Great.

I finished up the night +5k though, so I was happy with that.
