OK Time To Come Clean

Ive totally felt like my old gambler self this week rather than a poker player. I did a chunk on the casino a few days ago, mainly through boredom and arrogance. I had been building up to that for a bit. This seems to happen every few months and then i dont touch it again for a few months, which i think is the stage im at again thankfully. Im not gonna quote figures, it was significant, but it could have been significantly more. Of course its included in monthly profit which will dent it somewhat but i have to remember its the gambler inside me that enables me to live this lifestyle. Losing the value of money and getting complacent is something i obviously need to work on a bit in the future.

Anyway on the poker front ive only played a couple of league games i felt forced to and havent felt like playing at all. My head is definitely clearer today but i still dont think ill play properly until i really get an urge .

Mansion have finally sorted out my travel arrangements and ive booked hotels either side of the dome event to ensure im in Vegas for 10 nights. I fly out on Sunday 4 Feb and stay in Monte Carlo for 5 nights. I move to a deluxe room at Caesars on Friday 9 Feb and play in the poker dome on the Saturday night. After 2 nights there i move into Harrahs and have 3 more nights before flying home to arrive back on Thursday 15 Feb. This could backfire as a tactic moving around so much but im happy to give it a go and actually see it as fun staying in 3 different places for variety etc. All thats left to do really is book parking and probably a gatwick hotel for the night before i fly and of course pack :( .

Go win it for us and have a great time while you're there. The poker room at Caesars is very good. Be sure to play and drink the free white russians.
I find your post most enjoyable and honest unlike some you have linked to on the right of your page.
At least you dont go on about how great you and other 'legends' are. You tell the truth and we are thankful for that.
Enjoy the trip and keep up the good work. Be sure to update each day when you're there.

Thx Lee, ive played Caesars b4 and may play some cash games there at some point. Im hoping to enter a few multis elsewhere higher than i have done in the past and put some faith in myself with at least 1 or 2 $500 ones. Certainly $200 minimum for multis, they take too long offline for what they are worth.
