We all said goodbye to Devin tonight and Rob, Travis and myself accompanied him to a nice sushi dinner at Caesars palace at a fantastic sushi joint, shared a bottle of champagne and dropped him at the airport. We also had this awesomely georgeous blonde girl at the table across from ours, which made for a nice dinner view.
Tommorow I pack up and head back home to Maryland...life probably won't be as exciting there but it'll be nice to relax and see friends and family before we head to Europe for a wedding/family trip. Thanks for reading the blog (though I never really posted in it), and hope everyones doing well out there. Goodbye Vegas, you shall be missed until next time.

GKA coming, WSOP bustout
Two updates. The first is happy, the second is sad.
Dave Bach ("Green Kool Aid") is arriving tomorrow morning at 930 in the morning. I hope I can wake up (as can AMT) so we'll be there. Otherwise, he'll be stuck in McCarran Airport for a while!
I busted yesterday night, very late day 2b. There were roughly 1,000 players left (900 something) so I was 300ish away from the money. I'm not going to share any beats, only that I lost all 4 of my all in pots. (Well, I went 1-4, the win being AA>AQ in the middle of day 1!) I lost both big coinflips, and sadly, those coinflips could've been used to at the minimum make the money. I really, really could've used a win.
So, we're heading to the strip tonight, I'm probably going to play 2-5 nl just to book a win or whatnot.
*I think when GKA comes the plan is to go to the Vegas NBA summer league.

BUSTOOO
I had a semi-desperate stack going into Day2 for the Main Event. But found a way to chip up to a healthy 85k or so. Then a dude in EP raises, and a donkfish on the button calls. Im in the BB and have KK, so I 3bet. Both players call and the flopament is KQ6.....yes, touchdown. I lead out 18k and the EP dude basically minraises to 40k, so im like, "ty for your moneys" and put in the rest of my chips. He looks deflated as he calls and flips over AA. The turn is a 6 and the river brings the A.
The pot wouldve been at least 180k, and people are estimating a 200k stack would make the money. I win that hand about 90% of the time........
Im going to go find bengiec's razors now and kill myself k thx bai

My GF comes and leaves
From June 4th to June 8th my GF Noelle was here in the house. I havent posted in a while, so I figured I'd make a couple quick notes:
1. The show "O" at the Bellagio was good, but overpriced, and very weird. French theater is... Bizarre.
2. Sushi Roku is an amazing restaurant, in Caesers.
3. So is Olives, at the Bellagio.
4. I like the champagne "Rosa".
5. Isura and Alreturns (he finally made it!) are in the house now, gotta get them to post.
6. Noelle thinks we all talk about "preflopping" too much.
7. Isura and I play Day 1d of the Main Event tomorrow. Somewhat nervous, table 170.
8. Devin and Travis survived day 1; Gary Stevenson and HEK did not.

Bengiec, complete strip club noob or comedic genius?
Man bengiec cannot hold his alcohol. He spent 10 minutes trying to convince a stripper that one of her coworkers had robbed him. And she kept trying to tell him that the she had been fired from her last two clubs for punching out customers that got on her nerves. Then he he said, "Hah look at this noob," to some guy at the ATM which almost caused a fight until Costanza_g and I intervened.
Next thing you know he's talking to bouncers about how busto he is(all while tearing up 1 dollar bills), and they're trying to convince him that it was worth it.
After we get back to the car, he stars talking about how he hates money and begins dumping unknown quantities of ones, fives, and twenties out the window into the parking garage.

Dear Stripper (Dancer)
You told me that the money didn't matter to you.
I believed you.
You told me that I was a special guy and that my money that I had was special.
You said that it would only be $260 plus tip.
I asked a second time and you said it would be $290.
I was ok with that.
You told me that I needed to go to an ATM. I agreed.
I threw $100 on the ground and told your skank ass to pick it up.
At this point I was getting even with you.
You stole $500 from me, Right from under my eyes.
My own drunken, sullen, glazed over, ripped up, eyes.
Your scar on your right nipple, I don't care, I payed you anyway.
But why did you send me to the ATM?
Are you so greedy that the $500 you found in my back pocket was not sufficient for your three kids?
I thought we had something special.
I guess I was wrong.
Still.
We had some memories.
I told some guy at the ATM he was a newb.
He was like, "Do we have a problem?"
I was like "Lol, you do, lol." Because you were getting money out of the ATM lol.
End of the story.
So stupid fucking *dancer*. Enjoy my money. I hope you die.
