Back to the grind?

So it's been a month now since I returned from Vegas, with a total loss (including all expenses and poker losses) of $4000. I actually thought it was worse, but I feel that's a reasonable figure for the three weeks.

The week after I got back I went on a mad rush anyway and won ~$3500 which steadied the ship a bit. I'm not playing so much recently though, as I have been more concentrating on college stuff.

I did, however, have a brush with alot of money in the stars $40k guarentee when I was chipleader in the tournament with 12 left. I ended up busting 9th for $1k when my AKs lost to K10s in a hand that shouldnt have even gotten to a flop, but for the fact that the villian opened for 6BBs when we had ~20BB effective.

For now I'm focusing on getting ready for the world cup of online poker which will run on pokerstars later this year. My edge in these big tournaments is so big compared to the average player, and so I'll probably put more of my roll than usual to try and stretch this edge during the series.

I'll be blogging the WCOOP events as I play them.
