A delayed entry...
Sitting here at the airport at home on my way to Ireland to play a little and do promotional stuff.
Know its been a while since I wrote so figured I'd do something productive while waiting for once.
I havent played much at all lately. Was in Vegas for a month and a half during WSOP, but obviously I couldnt play anything. Had tons of fun tho, met some great ppl, saw tons of shows, shopped, railed and everything else I wanted to do! After that I went back home for two weeks or so before heading off to London to play in the Ladbrokes Poker Million that I had been looking forward to for a loooong time. To my disapointment it only lasted 11 hands when Tony G two outted me with two cards to come and knocked me out of the tournament. Oh well.
I'm really feeling good about my game tho. Ive been playing in my head all the time even if I havent been at the tables, and Ive come up with some pretty cool new stuff that I'm gonna be experimenting with in the upcoming tourneys.
After I've been to Ireland I'm going to Portugal to play in the second leg of the BPPT... to be honest I'm not going for the tournament this time lol, I just know I'm gonna have a blast with everyone there and look forward to the social part more than playing.
No big tourneys for me untill EPT Barcelona now which is beginning of September. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee, bout time they started again. Watch out, I'll be making my mark again this year, u wait and see!
