Vegas BAP Jan 31 - Feb 4

For those not following my progress on Twitter, here is an update on my tournament results. Was able to make the $450 bounty on Tues when I arrived. Got to the Venetian at 12:06 so only missed 6 mins of the first 40 min blind level.

Couldn't get much going early but was able to maintain an above average stack for the first few levels. I must be the worst bounty player around. Everytime I had a chance to take some out I missed the board. One hand early on I had J10d and flop comes 10 high w two diamonds. I raise and guy pushes and I have him covered. It will cost me about 80% of my stack to call and I put him on a set so I fold.

At the second break, I had 45k in chips which is the average and blinds I think were 500,1000 w 75 ante. I have AQ run into AA on Q high board and one other hand I represent an A w an Ace high flop. Guy calls me all the way to the river with pocket queens. Im down to about 17k and blinds are up to 600,1200. New guy at our table raises first three hands in a row. I get A10s and decide to look him up and he has 1010. I don't hit my ace and am out in 32nd.

After eight hours of poker, I wasn't up for the $330 yesterday and decided to play the $540 at the Bellagio on Friday. I played cash yesterday at Bellagio and asked about the Friday tournament. They told me to expect about 40 players BUT Canadians pay 30% withholding on any winnings, even under $5k. To me it makes no sense to play this tourny with the 30% penalty on all winnings so I will skip it.

I have some commitments tonight so I won't be able to play the $340 today and the $340 on Friday may extend to the Sat, when I leave. The only option is to play a daily tournament on Friday at Venetian if everyone is ok with that and I can refund the difference (will figure it out later when I get back). At least the vbVenetian tournaments don't have withholding under 5k.

I will have internet access starting tonight so will be able to send more updates.

Oh my lord. I'm convinced that you post these things just to get everyone upset.
