It never ends.

OK, just a quick update - Just played in the Sunday Million for the first time in a few weeks, and felt like I played well, but lost a key race late and that was that. After that, decided to play in the big weekly Omaha Hi Lo tourney on Stars and took 33rd of 170 when 18 got paid, which sucked. I felt like I played great, and was really psyched to be able to play in an O8 tourney with a decent structure, since it will be good practice for the WSOP events this year. Regardless, I bubbled, and am out a quick $450 on tourney buy ins today. So it goes.

As for live poker, the week was pretty much up and down, and ended on a pretty atrocious note on friday when I got murdered in what could possibly have been the best game in the history of poker. My buddy was over at O'Sheas, which is an Irish bar on the strip that also has table games and a few poker tables. He was watching a 1/2 NL game, and although he's a poker novice, he's great at recognizing retardation, and saw that what was taking place was probably a a profitable situation and gave me a call. It was 5am, and had just finished an enjoyable night of drinking, but decided it would be worth checking out. Well my boy was right, as the players were ass wasted and pissing money away. I won't go into details, but after the dust settled, it was 11am and I was down $400. Not exactly what I had in mind.

I try and take something away from every session, and although it was tough making sense of the poker abortion that had just taken place, one thought did bring me some peace of mind on my miserable ride home - Finally someone close to me was able to get a little taste of what my life is like. Many of my friends and family have seen poker on television, and have some sort of grasp of the game, but have little understanding of variance, and don't really understand just what an actual session can be like. This was an opportunity for my best friend to see what a day at "work" can be like, and I'm glad he was able to experience a session. I think. I'll probably get back to playing more live ring games tomorrow, and will hopefully be able to put in some solid hours. That's all for now.
