Sorry for anyone who actually reads this thing but ive been a little busy and havent had time to post as of late. So ill kind of recap what has been going on with me since my last post and after the trip from vegas.
Ever since I got back from vegas i have been running absolutely terrible. I have not made a single final table since i got back. I have cashed in a few tournies here and there but for the most part it's been me drawing thin on bankroll now since my run has been so dry. I cashed in two pokerstars tournies 2 nights ago but ran thin and didnt get to the FT. Apparently lee jones liked me that night and pretty much every hand held when i was ahead or a coin flip. I have been playing live tournies at Greektown Casino once a week or so and have also been running terrible there too. It's just very frustrating when you go from absolutely killing a site to not cashing in a single tourney you play for a month straight.
So anyways i have decided to step down in tourney buy-ins a night until i can play out of this slump. I am however going to concentrate strictly on tournies once again and grind out sng's to boost the bankroll from the tourney buy-in hits. There apparently are a lot of leaks in my game and im gonna have to go through a bunch of tourney histories and have my good friends ryanj9352, pimpjzh and RandALLin take a look at this shit for me because it's almost disheartening to the point where i dont even feel like playing anymore.
Send me some uplifting emails please it'd be greatly appreciated.

Pimp Recalls Vegas trip
Ok so first off i better tell you guys bout all the fun we had in Vegas, or they since i live here.
Day 1: Simple enough me and cody go play at MGM cause he's the only one who gets here, he gets stacked i get stacked GG us playing 1/2
Day 2: This is where it gets good , we pick up mike and krod from the airport and head to the venetian, everybody sits in a 1/2 game except me, i wait on the 2/5 list. Before i even sit down it looks like krod has nearly $ 450, i get seated at a must moved table it plays rather tight and i get moved to one of the main games, the only memorable pot is where i run my KK in aq on a Q high flop, i rake a near $ 500 pot, the last hand before i go to cash out i pick up AJ make it 25 to go and get 1 caller , flop come 10 2 j with 2 spades , i bet out 40 guy insta shoves, theres no way he has a big pp or he'd have raised preflop, so i call, hes on an open ended straight flush draw, and bangs it in there in a $ 500 pot, i cash out up $ 350 to check on everyone else, krod cashes out up $ 700 cody up $ 800 and mike up $ 200 , we take nearly 2k out of the venetian in profit. We then go to the Sahara to play the 11 pm tourny , Cody hits 2 outers on everyone and makes the final table, along with me i bust 8th he rejects a chop with 6 left and he's chip leader, he busts in 6th funny how karma works.
Day 3: New years eve, we go play at MGM i sit at the table and just keep ordering me and mikey drink after drink, krod plays 2-5 everyone else sits 1/2 including me, mike gets stacked when his flopped top sets loses to turned set, then i get piss drunk and donk off my $ 200, cody cashes out up $ 100 , krod down $ 100 i think and ryan breaks even. We then head downtown for the festivities, everyone gets some alchy before we do anything and we go to dinner, by the time dinners over mike is threatening everyone to shove his plastic boot that was a souvenir cup up everyones asses or anyone who came near him, then we go to Binions and play 1/2 all sit at the same table i double up and call it good, krod loses some, cody loses 200 and ryan ends up even. We all head out to the festivities except cody who refuses to leave the 1/2 game whatever. We get out to the festivities when a random girl walks up to ryan talks to him for 2 mins and proceeds to start making out with him. Soon it hits midnight cody is nowhere to be seen, whatever. We then head into binions where krod and ryan decide to get a room even though we decided to stay out all night. They go to bed and me and cody play the Binions 2 am tourny. Cody is plowed and busts out in like 30 mins, i last a little longer blinds are 100/200, some chick limps, im on the button with 10's i decide to make it 1000, it folds to her and she shoves, i call and she's ot ace 10 off suit, ace flops yeeehawww. We head to Denny's and proceed to get there about 5:30 i guess this is where day 4 starts.
Day 4: While waiting for out food at denny's cody starts to fall asleep , this is when i decide to take cody to my house and let him sleep cause god knows if he falls asleep in a casino i'll have to drive him home anyways cause they'll kick him out. So we drop cody off and head down to Venetian where we see Vanessa Selbst and Amir Vahedi playing 2/5 NL at 7 am , i decided not to sit. We walk into Caesars and i decide to play some 1/2 and waste some time till ryan and krod decide to join us. I buy in for $ 300 and proceed to run it up to $ 600 in a hour playing while the drunks... very profitable i say ok thats good enough and join mike in the sportsbook for some college football watching. I start to daze and decided imma fall asleep so i get up and try to find a starbucks, i end up in the bellagio and pay $ 7 for this horrid drink drink 10% of it and throw it away and head back to caesars by then krod and ryan are on their way. When they get there i drive jackie and sarah home and head home to take a quick shower and pick up cody. We head over to the venetian while krod and ryan play at caesars. They soon join us and we proceed to run like crap, i think everyone but me got stacked. We watch the USC Michy game and finally call it a night around like 10pm.Krod procceds to play the $ 20 superstack on ap and win it that night for $600 when we get home.
Day 5: we play the Caesars noon tournament and nobody does jack shit cody makes sure to outlast all of us, then proceed to shove in blind. He plays good obviously. i think we all go play at the venetian expect me and mike who go watch the Wake/ Louisville in the sportsbook and get tanked. krod runs up to $ 200 in profit playing 2/5 and cody gets stacked some more, and ryan finally posts a losing session after flush over flush. Dutchess from ap comes down and meets the fellas, and plays some 1/2 she won 300 on the night. Krod proceeds to play the venetetians nightly tournament and busts out with 3 tables left. By then me and mikey are really tanked and ready for the strip club at about 1 am. We get there and its pretty packed with an hour its pretty empty , we proceed to buy lap dances. After everyong gets a round of dances me krod and ryan go get $ 100 in 1's to sit at the stage and proceed to prop bet on who can flick them the furthest on stage. Everyone gets a couple more dances and the dancers are loving us at this point, and were getting asked alot more frequently if we want dances, finally around 4:30 i have $ 20 in 1's left and a girl who i got a dance from comes on stage, i say screw it when she's done and make the money rain all over the ground. We proceed to leave head to my house so ryan can grab his stuff and i take him to the airport for his 6:40 flight, he gets there bout 5:45 am.
Day 6: We wake up and take mike down to the airport for his early night flight and head down to caesars to play the 7pm tourny, cody sits down at 1/2 and gets stacked in like 10 mins. Then 1st hand of the tournment im all in and all out with a flush a straight draw vs a donkey who called a preflop raise with 2 8 off suit. We head to my house so i can play the 9k on ap and leave krod to play the tourny. He texts me and tells me brandon cantu is sitting to his left, oh wait cantu's playing the 9k on ap at the same time too... uhhhh yea that can't be him online then, im glad he gets paid to play on their site and lets his friends play for him. Krod busts out and i go pick him up we then just call it a night.
Day 6: I bid adeiu to Krod and take him to the airport for his morning flight myself and cody head over to sahara to cash out his $ 25 chip that i gave him from roulette from a couple nights prior. I convince him to put it all on 1 hand of blackjack and he tells me how he wants to put it on 9 on the roulette wheel, i win the argument and he puts in on the blackjack hand he gets dealt 19 the dealer hits for 20 GG $ 25 chip, we then run over to the roulette wheel to see what number would have hit and it lands on 9 cody proceeds to scream,moan and groan while everyone around watches. He then proceeds to call 3 people to tell them the story and i take him to the airport and so goes the Vegas trip.
