WSOP Day 2

So here i am back at home... Lots of stuff happened recently and am gasping for some air to get myself back to good ol' routine... Don't know when it happens though... I think since i wrote these lines about a month ago i did start to get my routine back... But it came slowly and it was pain in the ass and at the same time some new powers and actions started to kick in but those will be clear to me tommorow... anyways.... some new events in life coming soon.... But here is how Vegas was....

So i was still in day 2 in WSOP main event. I was really happy about my first day as it looked pretty much like i was out of the tournament. But still i could face my destiny and continue on playing my A+ game. And with some miraculous draw of cards i made it to day 2. There were a couple of so called fishes at my table, but 6 players were constant as we started day 1 with them we finished with them only changing the 3 other players consistently.

Next day we decided to head out and relax in Vegas city. Our major fun time was done on New York New York's yellow cab rollercoaster were we rode a couple of rounds. Was pretty fun, but was hell of a hot weather. So we were like crazy looking for some bar to rest and refresh our bodies. Nonetheless my body was still in somewhat of a cycle and didn't accept the Vegas temperatures... No shit man, it was 115 out there and it was heavy for even the Vegas crowd.

On the 6th we just layed back and mostly spent time by the pools. There was a big story however, Dag Palovic a slovakian pro was inviting us out for dinner. He knows how to live and so do i so we decided to find a nice place and eat out and skip the buffets, Kojak's favorite place. So we go to Bellagio and as far as i remembered reading Vegas reviews i learned Fix was one of the best places around to have steaks. Of course we go there it's fully packed and we see people are put on waiting lists and we are like hell with that. Ok, so Dag has an idea... he tells me to go up to the ladies and ask them if we can get a table, that he is the european poker federation's president and we have to go to a meeting and would like to just eat something real quick. First i was a bit wondering about what the hell is he doing, but i thought what can i loose and you know everything can happen in Vegas... so i went up there and said my lines and the ladies though not falling for the first time, but when i asked about any place we could eat fast and quality wise good meal, a boss kind of person stepped up to me and offered immediate seats. Pretty awesome if you ask me, however.... Dag is always into gambling and since we are also kind of into it :) we fell for his trap and went on a credit card gamble kind draw.. so whoever card was chosen was paying for the dinner... guess who paid... it was my time of bad beats... and it was just starting right there... so what happened is i paid $240 bucks for a dinner i didn't enjoy... not that the food was not good, but rather my choice was a bit risky and i didn't like it. Anyways, i was pretty sick about that beat, but whenever there is risk involved I'm in for it baby... so we signed up to play some poker but there was no way the Bellagio could get me in to their tables without waiting 2 hrs at least so Kojak and me went back to his place, the Flamingo... really i must say the tables there are freaking soft... so i sign up for some low stake game and head out to play some Black Jack till my seat is available. I have to say I'm on a lifetime good run with Black Jack...and won a 100 bucks while waiting for my seat and then i crushed the tables pretty badly... that was that...

Day 2 was some sick day. I got a freaking tough table with some online pros mixed with some vegas professionals. I really felt no edge in my game, but still played i would say within my A+ and A- games, that was pretty good and managed to collect a few chips throughout the day... I had some lucky cards, i was bluffed and i felt into some pretty ugly monsters too, so it was one horrible day for me, and i was finishing it and surviving it. I guess that was the goal... All i could hope for is on day 3 i am going to get lucky and get a softer table. One interesting hand happened on day 2 though. Kojak and his totally inexperienced poker got him into some kind of trouble... so his opponent raises and he sees pocket aces when he looks down so he reraises and after his opponent calls all in ... i am envy for such situations as this is one that you wish for when the tournament is so rich... and you immediately go for an all in call of course.,... not Kojak, he is the tough cowboy of poker :))) so what he does is asks the dealer to count the chip of his opponent and then slowly counts his chips and matches his opponents chips... then he says... "I cannot fold... :))) and shows the NUTS and shows pocket aces...the boo of the table and the awe of the players attracted all media and he was mentioned immediately that night in Pokerlisting news... so if you know poker a bit you can tell this was one horrible SLOWROLL that you might just get shot for in earlier days of this card game... he was not shot but he was definitely mixed up as the guy shaked hand with everyone at the table just not him... and his focus immidiately shifted from the tournament to something else... After this second day finish I was quite happy I earned 7 more nights of free hotel room and since we had some rest time the next day we went to a bar and i crushed myself down to total unsoberness with 3 shots of high quality whisky. Believe me it was so enough. Than i hit the tables of Mr. Black and i left about 100 dollars for the casino in about 30 minutes. Good thing i didnt have more money with me as it could end real bad. Anyways, i will have more blog on Vegas slowly and will talk about the feeling of gambling and the dangers waiting in the BIG SHOW....

So for now some of the promises are kept, but still way behind... can't believe i fell so behind... Can't believe it... So messed up...
