Catching Up
I haven’t posted for a while so I figured I’d write a quick update on how the WSOP went. I only managed to play 2 World Series of Poker events: the $1000 No limit and the $1500 no limit 6 handed. I busted day 1 of the $1000 event about 100 places outside of the money which was frustrating. I played quite well and then had 2 big hands cracked by JC Tran right at the end of the day.
For the $1500 6 max event I managed my to get my first World Series of Poker cash. I managed to finish 52nd out of just under 1500 entrants. I got through day 1 with a good stack but eventually busted bet / 3 betting all in with a flush draw + open ended straight draw into my opponents 2 pair and not getting there.
Aside from those 2 events I played in only a few other smaller tournaments and spent the rest of the time playing the sit and go satellites at the Rio and 1/2 and 2/5 no limit games which were quite profitable.
It was a lot of fun spending almost 6 weeks in Las Vegas and I look forward to doing it again next year. Hopefully I will be able to cut back a little bit when it comes to spending and I’ll be able to come way ahead instead of a little. I managed to see a couple shows, the finale of the Ultimate Fighter and spent way too many nights out buying bottles at Pure, LAX and XS.
Since coming back home I’ve managed to hit the worst downswing in my 6 years of online poker. I’ve now reached over 1000+ Sit & Goes of Break even & Downswing on Pokerstars.
In my latest attempt to change up my luck I’ve been branching out and playing on a few different sites instead of strictly pokerstars. One of the main hassles I’ve come across in spreading out my play is having to download all the sites software on all my computers which can be a real pain. Lately I’ve been playing on no download poker sites which lets me play poker in my web browser which is far easier and quicker.
So far the change has gone well and my luck may be changing!
