Some Downtime

Last week has been a pretty intense series of tournaments. Starting Saturday 29th there has been a NLHE tournament each day and in almost every tournament I've played more than 6 levels at the very least. Whenever you make it into the next day you have to be at the tables from 12:00 until 01:00. Compared to the EPT tournaments this is quite long and that combined with the fact you'll be doing this every day for weeks is quite tough. Yesterday I survived day 1 again, but luckily this field was so big they had two starting days - which meant I would get a day off from playing. A much welcome break.

I took the time off to do some protein and vitamine shopping with Nazgul & Edwin. Had the chance to stock up over $150 worth of protein bars and vitamine drinks; D Also used the day off to move hotels. Was staying at the Rio before, since it's quite convenient with the tournament just downstairs, but I didn't like it at all. I think it has been a while since the Rio was popular. It is now outdated and compared with all the other great resorts in Vegas I can't understand why anyone would even go there at all. Now I'm staying in the Palazzo which is quite cool. They have got a great gym with personal trainers, classes and even a rock climbing wall. So whenever I make a bad play I can take my rage out there. 

Tomorrow I will start in day 2 with only 12 big blinds. The bubble will probably burst pretty quick, but there's a chance I'll be out even quicker. I'll be looking for a good spot to get my stack in and chip up. When I double I might ask Edwin to get me some breakfast though as then I could be playing for a little longer. Overal I really like the tournaments. It's lots of fun to play for a bracelet and the fields have been, apart from a few stacked tables, ridiculously soft. Every tournament with a smaller buy-in is like a Sunday Million on Stars or worse. Especially because you play live which means 1 table and more reads it's so nice to own worse players completely. Still with the blind structures you do need as always with tournaments, a decent amount of luck. 

Well let's hope my flipping skills will be unreal tomorrow.
