Work, Sushi, and Poker

After 3 long months of work I finally decided to call it quits. Originally I emailed a resignation letter telling them I'd work all the way up to the 31st of December. Two days later I stopped working answering phone calls from the boss man and returned my work van, phone, blackberry, etc....Ive been told thats a fucked up way to leave a job, but the thing is I never wanted to even take the job. The only reason I took it was because they stalked me for like a month and a half, and the WSOP money ran out.
Besides I have bigger things on the dome like my upcoming trip to Melbourne, Aus. Which will be the shit. Any normal sleep schedule I had went out the window like an alcoholic falling off the wagon. The first night I spent celebrating my Sis's birthday at the Cannery playing video backjack while they played the penny slots till like 2am. Now I spend my days rotting my brain with reality TV when I know full well I could be doing something way more productive. After the guilt sets in I realize Id rather be doing this than getting 30 phone calls a day about some dumb shit I have no control over.

The other day I joined a friend at a sushiT bar. My stomach or shits havent been right since. I feel sick just thinking about it.

Thought I might try to take a stab at the daily donkament downtown. Except for the fact that it was cancelled for lack of players. A dealer friend of mine ask me to sit in to get a game going, which I knew was a bad idea $$$ wise but did just for the dealers sake. I had a talk with the floor man about the drop in players comming through. So I thought it was a good chance to ask about a prop gig, may be a promising opp after I return from Aus. That is if nothing comes up for me down there.

Played a ton a freerolls on Tilt with no success. I think Im becoming progressively worse with every hand I play.

WPBT

Last weekend I was very fortunate to be able to attend a fews days of the WPBT, here in Las Vegas. I got outta work around 7pm Thurs. night, and made my way to MGM around 9pm. As I walked through the casino floor to the poker room I was a little nervous / anxious being that this is my first WPBT and Im a newbie to the blogging world. I left a message to Dr. Pauly as I waited for my 1-2 table. 5 minutes after being sat I was excited to see the Doctor spotting me as he walked through the room. From there we strolled over to the bar in the sports book and he introduced me to a slew of well known poker bloggers such as his brother Derek, Maudie, Iggy, Otis, Jen Leo. We had a great time socializing with everyone, I was able to catch up with Change 100, and Mene Gene. A few hours later the Doctor, Change 100, Mene Gene, and my self among other made our way down to the Excalibur where we continued to drink talk about this past years WSOP which we were all a part of, and make o/u bets on the cowboys roping calfs. I finally ended my night busting out at the pai gow table with the same company from the bar. Again big shout out to Dr. Pauly for making an outsider feel welcomed.I look foward to working with you guys down at the Aussie Millions next month
