not much has happened to me lately...

but lots of things have been happening to all the people around me. The shipit mansion got robbed, costing them a lot of money and time, as they all have to get new computers and all that stuff. Right after that, the usher took 2nd in the $5000 plhe event, bringing in a nice $284,000 back to the mansion. My friend BBOUJA also took 9th in that event after taking a nasty set over set beat vs the usher very early at the final table, which sucks. Fearing that our house was next to be robbed, I decided to call up my host at the rio and he hooked me up with a room for the rest of the world series. I think I was the only one at the house with $50,000 just laying around, so im pretty sure it was a smart play to get the hotel just to protect my money. I dont remember where I was at on blackjack last time I posted, but at the moment, I am up $62,000. Im probably down from last time I posted. :-(

I guess ill talk a little about blackjack...It is a very odd game when playing with other people, as most people think you are taking their card when you make an obvious (to smart people) play and not taking the bust card when you dont hit, which usually isnt the problem for good people. For instance, most people flip out when they see me hit a 12 against the dealers 2 or 3...If you dont make this play, you probably cant be a winning player when the deck is neutral. I love hearing the dealers say "never hit a 2 versus a bust card." I want to say, "yes, thats why you are a dealer and im betting $1000/hand" but I dont cause im a nice person. Also, ive notived when I degen it, which I define as making huge bets for little to no reason, I do bad...as does everyone else who degens it. Degening is also kinda related to using the martingale system, as you usually bet stupid amounts after you lose for no reason. So...no more degening it for me! Im going to sit there, make $400 or so bets and when the deck gets juicy, bet whatever im supposed to. I also found another 2 deck game that isnt in the high limit area, with limits from 100-3000, which should being me a little less attention. I think I pull the "get up and piss" thick a little too much, which is where you get up and dont play the rest of the deck when the deck gets really bad, so just being a random drunk guy in the poor section of the casino might be better. Enough about bj...its boring...

I am supposed to go check into mgm grand today for my partypoker hotel, but I guess im just going to try to cancel that. I also need to try to collect $20,000 that people owe me. Im just going to stop lending out money, as it is usually just a hassle not worth the effort.

I havent played many sngs in the last few days, as party has been updating/screwing up their program. I did manage to get in 65 games or so in the last 4 days though for $2000 profit or so. I guess thats it...I play the main event on day 3, which is 5 days from now, so I guess ill just post again when something happens.
