April

This has been a pretty turbulent month for me on many levels - Poker wise, I'm not running well, which has led to some really inconsistent cash game results. I have played in a few more tournaments than usual, and bubbled the final table of one of the Venetian Deep Stack events for like $700. Ended up losing a race in a button vs. blind situation, and had the coin flip gone my way, I would have been in great shape to make the top 3 and some real money (1st paid $16k). Oh well. Also had a few final tables in some small online tourneys last week for like $400 each, which helped ease the pain of cash game torture.

As for real life, Im trying to figure out what I'm doing this summer, and I have to do it fast. I'm really tempted to go back to Nantucket for a few months, since last year was amazing, but I REALLY want to be out here for the WSOP. I'd like to try some of the non-hold 'em events this year, and from what I hear, there are people just setting money on fire in the cash games. A guy I know out here said his buddy was basically living in the 2/5 NL game at the Venetian and averaging 12k a week during the Series. Pretty mind-boggling. Whatever I decide, I have to do it fast in order to give my roommates ample time to find a replacement. Also, I have to be back in NJ in like 2 weeks for a wedding, so if I bail, I'd probably just do so then and drive east instead of flying to NJ, flying back, and then driving out a few weeks later anyway. Ugh.

Thats all for now - The next couple of days will determine what I'll be doing for the next few months, so hopefully a solution will present itself.

Peace
