2) Volume of play is miles down as at work most nights till 7 or so and numerous business trips.
3) WSOP qualifying attempts have been poor

PHEW !!! Weekend Rescued
I played the 60$ qualifier for the 6kgtd 6 shooter and qualified including a good beat when Ace 2 di's beat Azimuts ace 8 with 4 left ( sorry mate).
This got me in the main event and I doubled up early and had chip lead most of way to fin tab. Lowest I dropped to was 4th and me and Slick dominated the final table. We had about 18k each heads up with very low blinds so I offered him a chop which he accepted. I like heads up but big gap 1st to 2nd and would probably have took forever.
1st was 3250$ 2nd 1950$ so we chopped for $2600 each. That about covers my weekend losses :(

VEGAS PART 2 ( NON POKER)
OK - here is my best of everything else in Vegas.
GETTING THERE
Flew direct with Virgin from London - and have been non direct before - direct is a must ongoing much better.
HOTEL
We had a limited budget and wanted 3 beds so went for a low fashionable hotel but a suite rather than a room. Was only £70 a night for a suite at Imperial palace and the room and location centres strip was awesome. However, I dont think the basic instinct style mirrors above the bed and shower were meant for 3 blokes sharing :) !!!
BEST HOTEL
Ceasers Palace would top my list this time. Awesome card room great club and sports books and the pussycat dolls lounge !!
FOOD
At high end had a great meal at an upper class Mexican called Diegos in MGM and also had a very nice meal in the town square in Venettian.
SHOW
Went to see the Blue Man group at the Venettian - good show - very original but expensive at $120 and not a patch on Ka at MGM that I watched last year.
BAR
Went to Ghost Bar at the top of the Palms and this is my favourite bar in the world. Awesome set up and view off the strip - really trendy and a 10$ entry also got you into the Playboy lounge in the new tour and into Moon nightclub - awesome setting and excellent night.
I also really liked Rouge at MGM and Shadow looked good in Ceasers.
CLUBS
We went to 4 clubs but for me Pure at Ceasers stood out was awesome. About 3 floors / VIP areas 2 dj's- one outside overlooking the strip etc.
Marks out of 10
Pure at Ceasers 10
Drais at Bills ( after club club ) 7
Moon at Palms 8
Studio54 at MGM 5
GOLF
Im pretty shit at golf but had a great day at Angel Parks. This has a 12 hole par 3 course with par 3 replicas from around the world including Sawgrass Postage Stamp at Royal Troon St Andrews holes etc. Maximum length of a hole was 150 yards and was perfect for the likes of me. I went round in 47 which I was quite happy with but came 3rd of 3 only winning the 1st. We then played the 18 hole putting course with 100 ft plus holes which was awesome and I held my own at that. Recommended.
OVERALL
Superb holiday - usually ready for home after 7 days but deffo wasn't this time. Vegas I miss you already :)

VEGAS REPORT PART 1
Ok just back from a great Vegas vacation with 2 of my work mates Az and Ben.I will split review into 2 parts - 1 for poker and 1 for other stuff - since its a poker blog I will start with poker.
All in all I didn't really give it a big go with my biggest buy in was just a $170 event at the Hilton. Not sure why as I intended to play 1 big buy in but in the end never. They were some great tournaments in fantastic poker rooms like Ceasers and Venettian at around the $150 mark with good structures. However in other hotels such as Imperial Palace where I stayed the tourneys were all crap shoots.
I probably played 8 multis all together and was disappointed to only cash once. Fortunately the 1 cash was winning a multi at Harrahs ( 90$ entry ) so this covered the other buy ins that I had. I made a huge call with 6 left in this with 44 on a board of 6678 when I was sure opponent had AK when pushed - they never they had Ace 9 but it held up. I then had a huge chip lead and cruised home. However, the rest of the games were disappointing and I was twice 1st out. Once when some coco called up with up and down straight draw for all chips and hit and once when I limped with AK and board came AKJ but I ran into KK.
I also played 1 single table game at MGM for 60$ and won that however I was very disappointed that they take 100$ of the 600$ for the house this would be half this online but I guess you dont get free beer then. I was disappointed with my cash game and I think this needs a lot of work which I already knew. I only played 1 2 NL and won 500 in 1st 2 sessions but probably lost this back over the next 3 sessions where I got shat after shat and made a few bad plays.
We played poker in Ceasers, Venettian, Imperial Palace, Sahara, MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, Harrahs and Tropicano. My friend Ben got the luxury of a final table at Ceasers where they get moved to a table that has tv and everything but he went out 1st hand at fin tab. Az never cashed in a multi and did not do the default of talking the ride on top of the stratosphere - I will remind him next time.
Some good tourneys for anyone going soon who likes MTT.
Harrahs daily 90-100$ 11am 3pm 1130pm
Cesasers noon 7pm and 11pm all good structures 70$-200$
Venettian noon and 8pm - never played this but looked great.
Sahara $40 + 20$ rebuy with over 100 runners and good structure 7pm.
My favourite poker room was the Venettian only let down by waitress service which was infrequent. MGM and Ceasers were also very large and very nice. Imperial Palace was probably the best to play cash as had some bad players but I also think MGM / Venttian etc all had there share ( probably including me).
Cash game help needed any volunteers apply below !!!!!?

WORST BETTING DAY EVER CONFIRMED
- £1800
Avoiding poker except some limit poker and the 50k I have qualified for to avoid TILT.
Avoiding poker except some limit poker and the 50k I have qualified for to avoid TILT.
IN BIG TROUBLE !!
Took a huge view on the football today and Im currentlt in the crap. Have my biggets bet ever on Man u v West Ham at 10-11 and they are 1 0 down at HT. Also have a huge bet on Chelsea at 8-11 and they are only drawing at half time.
If none of the above turn round in 2nd half it will be my worst ever days punting.
I have qualifed for the 50k on betfair tonight and may need a fin tab justto get anyway near level on the day.
Yours in HOPE !! - soap

Played 18 won 2 2nd 1 unplaced 15 - truly shocking.
WRONG 1 - Had some sick beats all day.
WRONG 2 - in reaciton to them I started to play like a useless tw@t
WRONG 3 - In desperation to save the day I bought into the 6k high roller 6 shooter for 530$.
Fortunately that made a right as I just won it for 3000$ which puts me slightly up on day so delighted as I have truly played crap.
I love this 6 pak multis and wish they were more on betfair.
Im on Selby in the snooker and hes back to 14 13 but looks like 15 13 soon so might play the 5k gtd while watching the end.

RAKEBACK GIVEN BACK AND MULTI FORM CONTINUES
Hi all
Back from a long hard week - so knackered with a weeks really hard work and no poker - I was up on pc till 1am and 2am but doing e mail and work rather than poker :( !!!!
Anyway so 1st games of month today - I got 750 quid rakeback and had lost that in 1 day by 10pm - not good.
However my multi form continued I was 2d in the 6k GTD for 1800$ - I made a poor call heads up though - but I have just won the eyes wide shut 5k GTD 100 runner tourny for the first time. I absolutely destroyed the final table and got to heads up with a 140k 30k chiplead. I did get a nice piece of fortune about midway through when my ace 9 sooted was all in v KK but a nive flop of aa9 save me. At final table I got a bad beat but quickly recoverd the lead and in the end a runaway victory - some nice mtt leaderboard points but since Im in Vegas this month this will be of no use but the 1800$ prize will be :)
On a sour note went to see the shower of shite that is Newcastle United today - delighted its the last game of the season because they are total crap and the matches are shit boring. Big changes need to happen in the summer and I really hope we get Big Sam to kick some of the reputations up the arse - a huge clearout is needed starting with the manager and then many of the players should be pedalled also. No doubt I will buy my ticket for next year but will have to think about it as I have not seen a home goal since Jan which is a joke.
