Vegas Day 2   June 27th, 2009

Had a weird sleep, was really tired but i kept waking up. Anyway ended up getting up about 10am and got the continental breakfast. The banana muffin was good, then i got caught up playing poker online and forgot to eat my cereal. By the time i noticed the milk had been out way too long and I thought it would be best if i gave it a miss.

After our online sessions, me and benny headed to the Rio to suss it out and make my 2/5 debut. I sat down with $600 and was a bit nervous, but the game was very soft as expected and I had a good time. Talked to the guy on my left who turned out to be a 2+2er (otis_nixon) and an Absolute Poker reg, who I have played against online. We discussed the other online regs, 2+2, poker in general. We have many mutual real life/online friends, which is such a strange feeling as he lives on the other side of the world but yet we personally know many of the same people. He is friends with, and is staying with a couple of the Deucescracked.com coaches (DJ Sensei, WiltonTilt) which is totally awesome as I have watched pretty much all of their videos. It was absolutely bizzare but great, such a small world. They are staying in the suburbs somewhere so hopefully I will get a chance to head round there.

Got a whole pizza for lunch at one of the shops in the Rio, pretty good for 12 bux. I could barely finish it. We headed back to the room for a bit cause i needed to sort out some cash via my neteller card (which i needed to get unlocked). Played some more online until about 1am, then we went back to the Rio to attempt to enter event 51 ($1500 NL Holdem), starting tommorow (well, today now) ran into Gus hansen and another pro that Benny recognised on the way there coming out of the 50k HORSE event. Anyway so we get to the tourney-register bit and just as we were lining up they announced that event 51 has sold out. Unbelieveable. The guy said there is a slight chance that more tickets will be available at 10am tommorow (today). Benny was very dissapointed cause he wanted to play both of the $1500 events, im not too worried because I only want to play one. After that we came back to the Gold Coast and im writing blogs for day 1 and 2. So maybe/hopefully this time tommorow I will be blogging about my first WSOP event experience. No drama if we cant get into it though, im happy to play 2/5 for the next 2 days and then play event 54.

Forgot my toothbrush, so havnt cleaned my teeth in the last 2-3 days. Gotta remember to buy one tommorow. Have to find a shop first, which is a major challenge. Actaully finding a building thats not a casino is pretty much impossible. Sorry teeth. Also forgot razor, comb etc, but that stuffs not really important.
