Real quick update before I go to bed. It's 3:15 in the AM out here, just got out of the shower and ready to catch a few hours of sleep before the noon start to event #15, $1500 NL hold'em. jalex and I planned to play at the bellagio tonight, but because of unforeseen circumstances (pokerstars' hospitality room randomly closed during prime time afternoon hours... lol ?) we ended up walking and cabbing it all over vegas it seemed like.

We started from McCarran airport --> carriage house (timeshare where we're staying) no rooms available yet, come back later... okie dokie --> walk prob 1.5mi+ to US Bank to get our vegas bankroll (got lost, finally made it w/ the help of my uncle and google maps) --> walk to a nearby hotel --> cab it to bellagio to set up an account with them to hold half my money --> cab it to rio, sign up for our wsop events, see sklansky, mattusow, negreanu, elezra, and maybe a few other names i'm forgetting --> cab it back to carriage house to check in and get settled --> walk to bellagio for lunch --> walk to treasure island (ps hospitality room closed, ugh) --> walk to venetian, play some 5/10nl there, lose a few bucks --> walk back to treasure island, get our pokerstars gear. i got two packages of stuff so i just gave one to jalex so now he can be mr pokerstars.net with me (lol?) --> find something to eat for dinner at treasure island --> walk back down to bellagio to play 5/10 there as we planned...oops, list is 25 deep, uhh, stand around for a while --> decide waiting for live games sucks and is reason #234325 why online poker is superior --> hike back to ceasars and quickly get seated in a 2/5nl game, then finally get moved to a 5/10 game that was playing more like 5/10/20 (forced straddle, but it wasn't really forced but everyone was anyway). Ended up playing pretty deep there. More on that in another entry. --> hike back to carriage house where I am now.

I've got awful blisters on my feet because i wore these dumb new sandals I bought. Today is the last day for them in vegas, i'm afraid.

ok so we gotta leave the hotel in 7.5 hrs or so to head to the rio, so i'm going to wrap this up. If i can convince/explain to missy how to log into blogger and post, i might try to have her post updates on the tournament, but if not i'll post something tomorrow night sometime.
