Tunica, Here I Come!

As you might imagine, I have not had much to say. I had been doing really good in cash games lately, then I went to Geoff's one night and dropped two buy-in's playing freaking $1-$3 spread limit mixed. Once again, donk. Maybe not so much me this time - but donking was the theme of the night. I don't even want to talk about it - it was that bad. Let's just say that I had every lower pocket pair hit their sets on me. My sets lost to straights. My straights were flushed. My flushes were boated. Hell, I even had by boat out boated in stud. Sick, sick night.

So I am hoping like hell that was my bad karma being released, because now I am going to play for the big money. Tomorrow afternoon I fly out to Tunica for tournaments and cash game play. Both the WSOP and WPT are out there. I am staying at the GoldStrike, which I am happy about. I usually stay at the Grand when I go, usually because I am concentrating on WSOP Circuit Events. But the Goldstrike is having a good rate for their tournament, and I like the location of the GoldStrike. First, the hotel is attached to the casino (which is not the case for the Grand and the rooms you get for the cheap rate). Plus, there are two casinos in that vicinity (the Horseshoe is right next door), so there is more variety for less travel.

But my first tourney is going to be at the Grand. My intent is to play the Omaha 8/b $300 WSOP Circut Event on Wednesday. I am going to try and satellite into it. And I am also going to be cash gaming it in between. Being the realist I am, I am also planning on playing the $500 WPT NLHE Shootout tourney on Thursday. And depending on how things are going, I will also try and play in a tourney at either the GoldStrike or Grand on Friday. Who knows - I may be a luckbox and make a final table. Amazingly, I have cashed in the two and only $500 Circuit Events I have played in. I will try and keep that streak alive.

I plan on trying to add to the blog during the week to keep up with the progress, but that will all depend on how much free time I have. I am planning on spending almost every waking moment I have playing, and I don't plan on sleeping much. You do the math.

OK - next time I hit this blog it will be to give my first update for my trip.
