Day 11: A day with no live poker

I sleep in like usual and chill out at the condo for the day (or should I say evening, since I woke up when it was dark). I decide to maybe get an hour or two worth of sleep in at some stage but stay up to play tomorrow’s deepstack and reset my sleeping schedule in doing so.

After a while, I get bored and decide to play some online poker. I register for the Turbo Fiddy, a 30r, two 26fos and a 26 90man. I get deep in the turbo fiddy before open shoving 10bb into a monster with 70 left without cashing, then find myself getting it in with QQ against TT in a 26 for the outright chiplead with about a third of the field left to bust when he binks a ten. I run deep in the 30r then get it in with AQ vs A3 on a A53 flop after villain flats my UTG raise for about 15% of his stack in a lol donkaments situation with about 15-20% of the field left. I brick out to bust. I make the final table of the 26 90man only to bust in eighth in a pot for over a third of the chips in play where I get it in domianted in a bvb spot, bink my queen only for villain to resuck and hit the ace on the river to send me to the rail. Overall, I end up with a loss of about $150 so I decide to play some razz (which i’m still playing). Overall, my least eventful day of the trip so far.

Cash: $0
Tournaments: $0
Online Tournaments: -$150

Nothing else to repport today really. Hopefully tomorrow brings my first Megastack final table of the series. Oh, and if anyone knows anyone who is able to register me for the Main Event in Vegas in exchange for 10k on Full Tilt, please let me know via PM on the forums, i’m SwoopAE there; i’ll bring a laptop into the rio and do a same-time transaction and give them something like $100 or 1% of me in the main (negotiable, obviously whatever is standard/fair in these spots) for the hassle. Saves me having to withdraw from USD to AUD and then convert from AUD back to USD in order to buy in only to have to convert any winnings back from USD to AUD after the series. If I haven’t found anyone within a week i’ll have to eat the exchange rate fees instead since i’ll need a few days for moneybookers to process my transaction if I do decide to withdraw. Exchange rates in Vegas suck.
