It's poker madness now and I might be starting to lose focus - I don't really know. Yesterday might have been the most fun day I've ever had in Vegas, as the "House of Pain" supported PiMaster all the way to his third place finish in the 2k PLHE for $86,914. I really think we had the rest of the table on tilt as every pot Chris won about nine of us would roar with approval and shout various puns on the name/concept "Pi." The house is getting almost as crazy as the Rio as we have something like 11 people staying here right now.

Today was the 2.5k shorthanded event and I thought it was our best chance to win a bracelet. Five of us got off to flying starts and had over 7500 at the first break. I hit a couple sets early on and found myself at 9700 after two hours. Better yet I had an amazing table draw and I was ready to just annihilate La-style, but instead I lost a couple pots and then the table broke. My new table was almost as good, but I made a horrible misread and ended up blowing most of my stack with jack-eight of clubs. An orbit later I was gone.

Everything is just happening so fast and so intensely right now. It's kind of hard for me to get excited about going to the casino almost every day but I think my game is improving rapidly and at the very least I am getting the experience necessary to play strong 30x BB poker.
