Subject: Nice calm morning

It's still so hard to sleep here I really do believe they pump 'wake up and come downstairs to gamble air' into the vents in the hotel rooms. I feel amazing.

Thank you for being my virtual wingman last nightI felt like I had to prove it to you and your readers and hold onto the money, although that last hand could have obviously gone sideways.

My plan today is to grind in the morning and slowly make my way to Caesars for a noon $1k buy in no limit holdem tournament.

There will probably be a hundred runners so 1st place will be around $30k.

I just want to have fun and play well.

I've never cashed in a vegas poker tournament so I reckon I'm due.

Stay tuned I'll give updates throughout the day.

[NOTE - I asked Whale Jo how many players were in the tourney and what his plan was for tonight]

There's 71 players - I think I'll try some high limit poker at bellagio and then go back to the wynn for more blackjack madness.

I'm calm again now. I got pretty tilted this morning at let it ride when I didn't win a hand for an hour.
