First thing's first: I want to apologize for not checking Leggo to comment on forum posts or return PMs. It was selfish and dumb but I was trying to avoid all things poker to the best of my abilities. I feel like I can play with a positive mindset now and am not in a rage when I sit down to fire up tables anymore.. so that's a plus. I cashed out all but around $15k and am going to play 1/2 until I feel good enough to move back up to 2/4. I may play a few tournaments as well, or dabble in some PLO again.. not sure.

I'm in Vegas now and have been since May 28th.. it's been fun. I cashed in a $2k WSOP event for $9k. I bricked out of a $1500 that I played and the $2500 6-max and busted when my KK was no good on a Q86ccK board against 43cc (yes, allin on turn). I flew back to Ohio to relax and be with my puppy and hang out with my family, and I got calmed down and refreshed before the $5k 6-max and the main event.

I got in on Sunday and played the $5k on Monday. It went pretty bad at first and I lost 2/3 of my stack with a bluff that I feel was correct but I ran into the top of his range. I chipped back up to 30k in the next hour somehow and ended day 1 with 29k after losing a 70k pot to Roothlus when he cold 4-bet shoved AJ with no FE against my QQ and binked on the river.

Day 2 started well with me getting up to 90k really quick. I ended up just grinding a stack, and we got to the bubble and I had 25bb or so. I ended up doubling up and playing pretty well and had around 200k at 4k/8k when I squeeze shoved hoss_tbf's open and a call with KK and he iso'd with AQ. Flop AQ3 and I was out in 31st for $19k. Not the result I was looking for, but still a solid finish.

My manager, Pete, got us invited to the Doyle's Room party and we went there and I got to talk to Doyle for a few minutes because a blackjack dealer from planet hollywood was on his arm and recognized me and called me over. It was a pretty humbling experience and I left the party drunk and happy.

Played 1/2 with a few 2+2ers at Bally's and dropped $1100 on accident. Came home at 8am or so and slept for a few hours before getting around for the 2+2 party tonight and went there and met a lot of people. Had dinner with Clayton and a few others at Carnevino and saw aejones but didn't know it was him til after he left our table. It was pretty good, and then we came back to the Rio. I was checking up on Pete at 1/3 and decided to walk around because the smoke was getting to my lungs. I saw a roulette table and felt the need to put $100 on 9 because it's my number and I binked it for $3500. Came back to the room and decided to not be a ghost on here anymore.

So that's the update on life in Vegas.. I play the main event on Sunday and am ready to crush it. After the main event, I'm going back to Ohio where I'll be firing out a few videos, hopefully a 1/2 video and a couple of lower stakes videos. Until we get moved into our suite on the 5th I'll probably be a ghost because we don't have wireless and I never feel the need to pay $10 for internet if I'm not gonna grind or do anything productive. I'll definitely be more active now as I'm starting to put in more hands and am actually wanting to think about poker again.

GL everyone playing in the main!
