Well I’m home. Woke up early and even though I am sleep deprived I wanted to get home in time to pick up L and S from school.

Los Angeles was interesting and will become more so as we get closer to the Main Event on the 23rd I believe it is. First there’s the WPT invitational which isn’t much real poker but is a nice congenial group. Then the big one. Played two megas last year for seats and won them both (they cashed out the second one) was 21st in the big one for $44k. I want to best last year’s win, obviously. As much as I beat myself up over this play or that one, bad reads, ill timed moves … I am (finally) proud of my game. I look at what I set out to accomplish in my game three short years ago. I wanted to be taken seriously as a professional poker player (I am) I wanted to make good decisions and reads (that is now my strongest poker asset) and I wanted to win at it (doing pretty good). Now to set it all into motion, connect all the dots, and see where it takes us.

Well. Let’s see, showed up at Commerce this morning to play some cash and have some breakfast before the tournament. Made $580 at cash in a few hours then headed upstairs. The $335 tournament drew 242 players. I went out 20th. Third cash this week but no big wins. Frustrating. Headed home tomorrow. Need a break and a dose of reality before returning for their big one.
