Pre-Vegas feel good post


Its feeling good to get back to full-time poker again, and the last couple of days have gone pretty well with a few nice pots (I'll post some hands below).

With Gary picking up 7% of a $70kish WSOP event final table score I can't wait to get to Vegas to soak up the atmosphere, meet the guys in the house and play lots and lots of poker. It should be a balmy 41 degrees C when I get there! I'm not sure if the World Cup will have much effect on Vegas but I'm looking forward to watching a few games even if Scotland haven't made it again. There are two UFC events on while I'm there so will definitely try to get to one of those too. I haven't picked which WSOP event I'm playing but it will be one of #24, #36, #47, #54 - all of these are the same format and $1k entry.

Now for some not very interesting hands, but ones that made me feel good.
