Overall a good relaxing trip, Vegas was my best ever trip yet and I can't wait to go back for once. I ended finishing $18,000 up for the 2 months I was there. What is more important though is I have realised how much I can actually earn from poker. Before I left my daily targets were WAY low. I am now looking at 4 x my daily target now and that's before I start on stars. When I get on stars I hope to double that eventually.
Will be going back to Florida in the near future, already have my flights booked. Hope to go on a few holidays before then and maybe even Vegas again if Pacman fights in the near future.
Have had the flu for the last 4 days so not much poker has been played. I decided after Vegas I wouldn't withdraw again until I doubled my roll, I have done that now and made my first withdrawal today. Feels a lot more comfortable and anti tilting now that I have doubled the roll. Next step is to get money into stars and start my assault on there also.
$8250 up so far for this month and I hope to increase that by a hell of a lot more come the end of the month now I am back home on the PC with the big monitor and playing slightly higher stakes.
Oh well back to bed to catch up on some much needed sleep!

Vegas trip over with
Oh well back to boring old Florida :)
Probably my best Vegas trip so far and I actually came back with money in my pocket for once. Put in quite a lot of hours on the poker tables and roughly came out even which is a huge improvement for me considering I suck at live poker. Actually thought I played pretty well. Was very unlucky with some hands having to lay down kings, queens etc but if it was last year I was going broke with them sort of hands.
The boxing was amazing and will be 100% going to Pacmans next fight, hopefully against Mayweather! The Palazzo is by far the best hotel in Vegas in my eyes. I dont even think the Wynn comes even close to it.
Done well on roulette and OK on blackjack in fact the only thing I really lost on was sports betting on the boxing.
One thing has pissed me off though. We used the Palazzo to check in our luggage and when we got to the airport that night it didn't turn up. I had my car keys in the bag, my house key in the car so I was stranded at the airport.
Luckily had a spare set of house keys elsewhere so wasted $120 getting a taxi and now have to go back today to collect my luggage and the car.
I go back on Friday night but have already booked a flight back here soon! Dreading being in the cold, wet, dark miserable UK with the miserable people and the shit food and alcohol. The UK really is a shit place to live once you have gone elsewhere.

October Update
Had a proper FUCK MY LIFE moment today. £500 on Chelsea at evens, they go 1-0 down vs Athletico Madrid, anyways I put another £50 on at 14s with 20 mins left. They get one back so I login to my other betfair account as I have reached my deposit limit for the day, I put £50 in and throw that on Athetlico to cover just incase they score. Whilst doing this Chelsea score the moment my bet is matched, so thats £50 down the drain. Happy days though I have a huge green on Chelsea! I go to lay them @ 1.09 then realise that I am on the wrong account. Oopps.
No worries I login to the other account, press on the market and it doesnt load. I refresh the page 3 times and finally I get the market up. I put in my lay for 1.14 as Athetlico had a free kick, 2 seconds to go to match it and booooom Athetlico score with 30 seconds left of injury time. FUCK MY LIFE YOU BASTARDSSSSSSSSSS
Anyways, October was a great month. The calming influence of Azimut helped me get back on track with my poker and my profits have shot through the roof. He also gave me a great insight to stars and supernova elite. I am thinking about going for it next year but to be honest I may just spend another year grinding heads up games to build a decent enough roll to play stakes on stars where I wont have to play 24 hours a day to reach supernova elite.
Ended the month about $9000 up although I lost plenty of that to Azi the crazy golf pro hustler. Already up $3000 this month and I go to vegas in 8 days to watch the Pacman v Cotto fight. Can't wait! Just booked a suite at the Palazzo for 4 nights and managed to find direct flights from Florida to Vegas which is a touch really because I hate the 8 hours flights hanging about at other airports changing over planes etc.
I am looking forward to getting home really. I know it sounds mad but I miss my pets and nephew and I am looking forward to sitting infront of a big screen with a big mouse and a big keyboard with no annoying laptop in sight. I might just smash this one up on the last day because there have been days out here I have been dying to do it but have stopped myself. I will miss this place as soon as I leave but I will be back here very very soon and hopefully for a lot longer :)!
