Rawhide

It's time to round em up..... I'm off to Vegas. It's 630am for the record, and I've spent the last 2 hours playing poker and have succeeded in getting the bankroll back over 15k. I've been playing well all week and although I still feel I've been receiving more than the expected number of suck outs, I haven't been crippled by them. I was playing some 3-6 and lost a buy-in with AA when someone caught their OESD on the turn (after calling a 4/5th pot bet) , but even that was not enough to keep me down.

I recognise that I'm still overplaying a few hands, but I think my game is improving quite fast and I'm getting a very good feel for reading weakness and strength from bet sizes, bet speed and the texture of the board. I hope that these skills will continue to develop while I'm playing in the flesh, but you'll just have to wait for my post trip update to find out for sure....

Having had only 1 hours sleep in the last 24, I'll leave you now as I need to shower before the journey, but I wish you all luck in all of your endeavours, and I look forward to reporting on an amazing holiday in just 7 days time.

May all your pots be huge....
