10 Days until Las Vegas!!!!

Wow. I didn't realize that it has been 1 week since I last posted. The last post didn't even really have any content, just a schedule of the MSOP.

Work has been killing me the last two weeks. I was able to get a little break when my wife and I headed to the beach (minus the kids) for the long weekend, but was right back at work on Monday afternoon.

For some reason, it always seems like I put in a lot more hours before and after I take time off than the hours that I actually take off. All will be better in 10 days,

Right now my LV plans are pretty loose. I get in on Monday June 9th, plan to settle in my room at the Rio, then head down to the Amazon Room for some cash games and sng sats. I'll probably get my live poker feet back under me by playing some 2/5NL until dinner time, grab a bite and come back to try out the sng sats. I am most likely playing the $2k NL event on Thursday, June 12th unless I win a ton a lammers before the $5k NL on Wednesday, June 11th (my B-day). I really want to play the $5k, but I can't see myself shelling out that much for one tourney.

As far as the rest of the week goes, I hope to meet up with a ton of bloggers (those there for the WSOP and those that live in LV) that I feel like I know but have never met. It should be a blast!!! I may hit up a few other mtts around town, but will probably stick mostly to the cash games.

I'm not sure which other tourneys I'll play, but it looks like there are a ton around town:

EDITS:

Thread on 2+2 on what to expect at the WSOP this year - room layouts, dealer instructions, sat info, cash game info - great general info thread all around.

One thing of interest from that thread:

" Due to some prior commitment the Rio has, the Brasilia Cash Game Room will not be open until on or about June 12. In the meantime, cash games are being held in the Amazon Room at available tables (and I guess the main Rio poker room as well). I was over there tonight and they had some games going in the red section. This also means cash games may be shut down for a few hours to accommodate the start of Days 1A and 1B of Event #2 $1500 NLH."
