I got back form Vegas a couple days ago and am now hanging around Knoxville for some time during the holidays. Overall Vegas was a good trip, it was fun seeing the Bellagio poker room packed everytime we walked in, regardless of what time of day it was. I played 25/50 while my buddy played 10/20, and both of us did well. I got to stack Phil Laak on a good call and apparently antagonized Vanessa Rousso in one big bluff I ran. Pretty funny stuff, but I'll leave the details out here. So I ended up a little over 50k in that game, playing some interesting pots and getting chastised for being young (wtf?) and the entire gamut, now I'm ready to get back to online and focus and crush. Unfortunately due to a stupid staking deal I traded 1/2 of my friends action for 1/2 or mine, just incase I busto everything i went with or something to that notion. Well, he won 10k at 10/20 and so we each got 30k. Bad beat. I came back home to Knoxville and put in 2 sessions, ending +20k, so now I'm up 63k online this month, and I still have a few days to lay back and grind.
And with that comes this personal challege to me. I've been feeling like I want a new car recently, even tho my current one only has 10kmiles on it or whatever. Check it out here: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_mercedes_benz_slk_class_slk280_roadster/
Anyway take a look at these whips theyre so sick:
The Mercedez CL550: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_mercedes_benz_cl_class_cl550_coupe-slideshow/?tab=gen&i=izp_angularrear#imgs
Or maybe the BMW M6: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_bmw_m6_coupe-slideshow/?tab=gen&i=izp_angularfront&a=all#imgs
Ok so sometime soon I have to go to the dealership and get my car's 10kmiles checkup, buy maybe I'll come back with a whole new car altogether. So I decided that if I made enough bread (im saying 60k would be enough to upgrade) between yesterday (22nd) and the 31st, I'd get the car. Now, this should be feasible assuming I game select well enough and play some real volume. Today I played a 1700 hand session that was pretty nuts, ended up good so I can't complain. As of this moment I'm up 11.2 out of the 60 needed. Updates to come, I'll keep you posted, in the meantime help me choose between a car!!
Some obligatory hands from past session:
Inducing the bluffs, thats what I do:
