So I finally had a winning day.

I didn't have to do much - I slept for 15 hours and then my friend that I had 50% of came 10th in the ECOOP Main Event for $16k.

It was a bit disgusting actually, he got KK in vs K5o preflop for a pot that would have made him 2nd in chips with 25 left, and he lost... zzz ;[

Still cool that he got the score though, and I don't wanna be the guy who always has a new beat story.

I hope I don't come off that way.

I'm actually having a great time in Vegas, and am excited to be here.

It's weird, I haven't even been drunk yet or cashed in a tournament, but I've still been really enjoying myself.

I also feel more determined to play well than I have for a long time.

So please take any of my 'look how unlucky I am' stories with a grain of salt, I'm a long way from being emo at the moment.

It feels good to be grinding again, working towards something.

Before I got to Vegas I kinda felt like 'well, I hope I cash a few times this year but its not that big a deal since I hate poker atm anyway'

Now I feel more like 'f this, and f cashing, I am going to do what it takes, learn what I have to learn, and put in the hours until I win one of these things!'

Tomorrow is the $2500 6-max, and then Tuesday I think I am going to get very drunk.
