Week 4 wrapup and start to week 5....

Landon got in town on my birthday which was the last day of my week. I ended up doing pretty sub optimally for the week. I won $2,470 for the week and only played about 26 hours total. I should really be playing more hours than that, but I felt like I needed some time off so I took a couple of days off this week and played golf and stuff.

Anyway, Since Landon got here and I haven't played hardly any poker other than today. We have golfed for free at TPC Summerlin both days that he has been here and been having a pretty good time at night. Last night the same guy that has been taking us to golf also took us out to dinner at some new restaurant at the Palazzo. It was called Table 10 and was pretty good, but of course over-priced. I didn't mind one bit since Nick was picking up the tab. Apparently, he gets lots of comps from all the blackjack he plays as part of a card counting team. After dinner we went to to Circus Circus to watch Clint and Nick gamble like madmen at the carnival games before they closed and we all but got kicked out.

Then Richie, Landon, and I decided to go to Body English, some overly loud club at Hard Rock casino. Richie's buddy that works there kicked some people out of one of the primo tables there and gave it to us right on the dance floor. It did kinda make me feel a little ballerish. I hate all clubs for the most part, but I actually had quite a bit of fun last night. Drunk Landon makes for some interesting times. He thought it would be fun to tell random girls that it was my birthday and they needed to kiss me on the cheek and pose for a picture.

She looks kinda into it, huh? Baller!

Two at a time! lol

Richie and Summer (mainly because I think Richie would rather not have his picture posted and he said he has been reading my blog recently).
Anyway, today I decided to mix it up a little bit and play some full ring games since Josh said they were really good the other day when he played. I played 8 tables of mostly 5/10 a little 3/6 and even a 10/20 table. The games were really great and I think playing the 6 max games has made me a lot better at hand reading and using aggression more effectively. I started off down about $2,500 very quickly and thought maybe it was a bad idea to play higher. I made a good comeback and ended up winning $1,074 for the day. Of course I still only ran at .72BB/100 and that is getting REALLY old.

Recap:

Total results after week 4:
Online: +$10,840
Live: -$1050
Total: +$9790

Week 5:

Pretty Disappointing :(
