Sorry for no updates

I've been really bad at updating this blog. I was in Vegas for a week and it went pretty well. Going to vegas for 6 or 7 days is too much though. If you go to Vegas, you have to go for like 4 days max. For those of you who sit there day in and day out and grind out the money from the tourists, God bless you, because I'd rather put a shotgun to my face and pull the trigger. The old whiners are ridiculous complaining about bad beat after bad beat. It's honestly sickening. The people smell, the casino smells, the chips are dirty, the people are a joke, management staff are all assholes. I paid for my whole trip, food, hotel, flight, everything and came back with more money than I started with so it went pretty good. I had one losing day out of the 6 I was there. It's definitely nice to be back though. I final tabled the 40K on Full Tilt the first day back. Here's the hand I went out on:

Full Tilt Poker Game #2563811535: $40,000 Guarantee (18858280), Table 14 - 5000/10000 Ante 1000 - No Limit Hold'em - 1:45:56 ET - 2007/06/02

Gank is a high stakes cash player and I thought I was ahead of his range here, but he made a good call and just happened to have a better hand than me that held up. 12 days until I get married. Rented a super stretch navigator on Saturday night and went to a bunch of strip clubs. My bro spent way too much money. It was sick. Fun times though. They put me on stage, stripped me down to my boxers then I danced for the girls, then they all smacked my ass. lol

As far as the original 10K challenge goes, I won that 3700.00 for 5th in the 40K before Vegas, but I lost it all already running bad as cash games. I'm just going to play tournaments and turbo SNGs for a while because my return on those is pretty good. I still have over 10K so all is well. No tickets to bustoland yet.
