Bearlythere is back! After taking some time out from this site and playing on a few other sites for the last few months after i thought i was going to Australia. I have considered the options and decided that it is best to stay in the Uk for poker as the living costs in Australia are extremely high and i would need to win double there than i do in the uk. I went away to Vegas for 2 weeks during the world series of poker and managed to bump into Scotty 77 and Mattbates while i was there. Scotty was helpful telling me some tournaments i should play. I played the vetetian $200 deepstack and went out just before the bubble with kk against 99 with a 9 to come on the turn. I also played the Rio $200 wsop daily deepstack i went out quite early in this event it was quite a fast structure even tho it was considered a deepstack. The rest of the time was spent playing cash 1/3 and 2/5 on the strip. Bellagio was my favourite room for cash but i mostly played in Ceasars palace as there was always a short wait list to get a seat. I loved the cash games in Vegas as they kept bringing me free Pina coladas and Margaritas around every 20 minutes while i was playing! I cashed for $1400 in total in vegas in the cash games which wasnt bad payed for my trip. I then went to Los Angeles for 3 days as i have a friend there and he took me to the Commerce casino. At the commerce i was playing blinds of 2/3 but i didnt really like the structure as max buy in was $100. So the next day my mate suggested we went to the biycle casino as it was a better structure with a $500 buy in at 1/3. In the biycle i played the craziest hand of my life. Couple of limpers i raise to 12 bucks with 88 flop is 842. Guy leads for 20 i smooth call hoping for someone else behind to go crazy. Next guy jams for 80, next guy allin 200, next guy allin for like 1100, next guy allin for around 200 and im like well im allin aswell and i won! In the biycle while i was sitting with my big stack it was all free food sitting there with a new york strip steak at the table and getting a back massage! The standard of play in vegas and LA was really soft and some of the stuff i seen you wouldnt see on 5p- 10p on sky. I now have quite a decent bank account and a good roll the plan is to hopefully win a lot of money until next may. Then i plan on going out to vegas for 3 months from May with a mate of myn who plays professionally and live in a strip hotel and grind cash and a few tournaments. Living expenses will be cheap as i will get money off the room with the amount i will be playing. I will be back on this site to play the main tourney most nights but im also playing on 2 other sites as there is more tournaments on there although i dont think i am allowed to name them on here.
