haven't really played much poker, and when I have I've generally lost. Had to cash out a lot more money again to help my mom out with bills. Supporting myself with poker isn't too difficult but supporting myself and a family living in a different house is pretty rough.
Bahamas trip was alright, would have been a lot better if I wasn't sick the whole time. I made it to the second day and was about 150 people from the money but I blew it because I'm bad at tourneys. Meeting Khan was cool, very friendly guy. Also met daut but didn't have a chance to talk to him; only thing that sticks out is he's got a huge head, like tito ortiz huge, must be why he's so smart. Met a few other guys I've played with a lot (VicTree, who's a cool guy and I believe made the money, and Redargoe, who struck me as something of a dick but maybe he was just sidetracked when I met him).
First day was great. Started the day playing tight and scared but Monkey001 (or something, don't remember) sat to my right and me and him were bullshitting the whole day. We started buying rounds of beer for eachother and on breaks I'd go get a beer and a shot, by the end of the day I was pretty drunk and playing the best poker I can ever remember playing. At one point a guy at our table (playaplease or something) said he'd buy our next round if we wouldn't raise the next hand. Ended the day about 2x the average stack.
Second day I sat next to Frank something (I guess he's a somewhat famous tourney player, didn't recognize him though. he seemed cool) and a professional hockey player. I wasn't playing very well at all and not paying attention to some obvious things. Biggest example was when I had pocket tens on a 589 board after raising preflop. I had already made up my mind when I lead the flop I should push my opponent in if he raises me cause I thought he was short stacked. well, he raised really small and something about the situation felt weird but I already had my plan and I felt like 88 or 99 would be reraised preflop because of his stack size. I might have been right because he beat me with 55, point was he had about 2x as much chips as I thought he did and it crippled me...retrospect I think by pushing him I sacrificed what was a stable and strong position on my table for relatively unnecessary chips, but then again I am bad at tourneys so maybe my reasoning is skewed and I did the right thing I dunno. survived for about 3 hours before a guy limps from mp and I check bb with 53, flop comes 853 and I bet, he raises his obv limped aces and I push all in, he counterfeits on turn.
Didn't really like the atlantis and I really hated all the solicitors. Everything at the atlantis was about 4x as much as it should be ($120 for a bottle of black label WHAT THE FUCK) and native Bahamians pretty much wouldn't do shit for you unless you were buying something from them. If the venue isn't moved next year I'm not going to bother trying to go.
never the less, the beach was really nice. At one point I put a chair down and just chilled there and tanned for a few hours, was pretty awesome. Had I not been so sick I would have done a lot more and probably had a great time.
