post vegas

in mccarren airport now, waiting for my flight back home. kindve shitty that i have to go back at 12 midnight but whatever.

vegas was alot of fun. my house was much different than last year, and that's to be expected i suppose.

i wouldn't recommend going to vegas if you dont like to spend money. and i'm not saying this to be rude or act like i even have money to begin with, it's just the simple reality. vegas is a pretty damn expensive place and you often need to spend to have a good time.

if i didn't enjoy gambling then i wouldn't really be too happy (in vegas). we didn't do any clubs this year either, meh. whatever...no shows either. on that part of the trip (entertainment), i guess we slacked a little.

i played a fair amount live, at least in the earlier parts of the trip. played almost every day, mostly 2/5NL at the venetian. i liked how you can buy in for 1,000, and i enjoyed the deep play alot. i played that one session of 5/10 and felt really comfortable, but didn't bring enough $ to vegas to really play it consistently. whatever, 2/5 was fun...was up decently for the trip until the last two days, where i spewed terribly and dropped a few thousand. but i'm still going to come out up (including all expenses) so i'm happy with that.

further, being in a house with other players also has great value in the long run (for poker) as well. learning from other friends is greatly beneficial, and i'm thankful that i was able to live with some good players.

one thing that i regret for this trip was not doing as much outdoors stuff (or entertainment stuff). we did a hike at red rock national park for one day and that was fantastic. i'm hoping that next year (if i decide to go to vegas) i'll be able to do more of that stuff. overall, we were just too lazy and decided to just go play live or whatever instead of do that stuff.

with that said, i'm pretty happy to go back home. ready to add some stability to my life right now (at least before thailand). i still have to move in later as well to my new place in lincoln.

blah. gotta get back in shape too. got fat and out of shape in vegas.

also forgot to add this segment-
