I'm going-going back-back to Vegas

I think I've used that title before.

After taking a semi-break at the end of Aug and start of Sept, I've sort of, halfway, gotten back on the poker saddle. The end of the month wasn't all that bad. I mean, it could have been worse. It's just that, compared to the first 20 days of the month, it really really sucked.

I ran good for the first 21 days with a 17% ROI over 631 games. I was on pace for a $10k+ month and was very excited about it. So excited that I went out and bought a car. Good move. Then obviously, I start losing. I ran at -10% ROI for the next 236 games, which included exactly zero winning moments. Just constantly slowly losing, which is the best kind of loss.

All confidence shot, etc, etc... want to kill myself - standard.

Then I take a week+ off goofing around in $0.25/0.50 NL and other random games in an effort to erase all horrific memories of losses. And I don't know if it worked or not, but when I started playing SNGs again, I won.

Now mind you, I experienced a lot of sand in the old vagina trying to get back playing SNGs. First, I dropped down to exclusively $60s. Then I started to "book wins" when up a substantial amount. This all just after I obtained my grinder card in August. But I felt I needed it. If I had to deal with another losing day I'd probably have quit altogether, especially after taking a week off to calm down.

So sand in the vagina or not, I'm up 2k for the month. Which isn't spectacular, but its profit, and more importantly, my confidence is restored.

And thanks to the Steelers pulling off the cover of the fucking century last Thursday, I'm up an extra $1500. So, all is well in land of me.

Finally, getting back to the post title, (wtf?) I booked another trip to Vegas, leaving this Wednesday for 2 weeks. The plan is to play 2/5 NL at various casinos, and I end up booking some decent daily wins, ($500+) I'll take a shot at a MTT at Bellagio. And hopefully I can curb my ADD enough to win at the 2/5 NL game, as thats probably the only thing that would prevent it.

Oh and yea, hookers and blow.
