Hadn't touched poker until today since the 10th so my August goals are really slacking. Hopefully I can still get my BR to $1k and take shots at NL50 by month end, but who knows, I've played about 4.5k hands this month most of which I've ran like crap and have been set up a ton of times. But life goes on.
Anyway, August 14th was my 22nd bday and two of my best friends and I made our way up to Vegas from San Diego. I've been really stressed out and annoyed with work lately so this trip was just meant to relax and get my mind off of work. We didn't go balls out party style this time since relaxation was the main focus. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Every day consisted of lounging by the pool at our hotel (Monte Carlo) and having some drinks and laughs. I meant to get a massage while I was there but in the drunkness I completely forgot to.
A friend we grew up with back in NY moved to Vegas and happens to work as a door man at Xs so he hooked us up greatly. We went there on Friday and he just walked us right in. You should have seen the faces on the assholes standing in the table reservations lines as three young looking shit heads waltz right by them. Priceless. Xs is really, really nice inside and Friday night was great. A couple of my other friends had a table there so we met up with them. Their bottles got finished pretty quickly and they had a room at Encore so we left the club and went back to the room to do some shots up there and then came back to the club. My friend Mark also had a ton of coke but I couldn't do any because I'm becoming a police officer. I wouldn't do it anyway, I was super drunk and I read a story about a couple drunk kids doing coke and dying so that's scarred me for life.
We ended up being in the club from ~10pm til after 5am lol The place supposedly closes at 4 but that night it was still going around 5:30 I'd imagine.
Saturday started with more pool lounging. We met a couple hot Canadian girls from Vancouver. We were supposed to go to Pure with them at night so we all go back to our rooms and get ready to go. We get down to the lobby and all of a sudden some random guys come up and ask them if they want to go in the limo with them. Obviously, they being girls, how can they resist. They tell us they'll meet us at the club but my friends and I start thinking it would be a waste of time. Turns out the one girl gave me a call when she got to Pure but we came up with a different plan...
We figured if we went to Pure the wait would be stupid long and sometimes Pure can be very hit or miss and we didn't really wanna run into those girls again if they were just gonna whore themselves out for limo rides, drinks, etc. So we call our buddy up again and went back over to Xs and went right back in again.
Xs on Saturday night wasn't as good as Friday. There were waaaaay too many people packed inside there and at least 80% of them were Asian people who thought they were members of that MTV show America's Best Dance Crew. Also getting drinks was like a solid 20 minute wait. They have 3 or 4 bars inside of the club with about 3-4 female bartenders at each bar. These female bartenders move soooooooooooo slow it was ridiculous. Still had fun regardless just not as much on Friday.
Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing trip. I completely disconnected myself from just about everyone except the people I was there with. I rarely carried my phone on me and even when I did I only had it inside the club in case I lost my friends. Felt nice to just get away.
Now that I'm back time to keep on getting in shape and playing and improving at poker. I took my police test so I'm awaiting the results for that. I'm going to try and not drink for a month so we'll see how that goes. I'm trying to run a lot and waking up and doing push ups, sit ups, etc. I won't be going to the gym because right now I just want to improve my body weight exercises. I've also got into surfing which is a good work out too. At the same time of all this and work I want to be more focused on poker and get to NL100 by year end. Gogo nerd mode!
