Until [size=5]VEGAS BABY![/font]

I'd like to thank the late night fish at partypoker for funding my bankroll and my trip this spring break.

Also, big ups to party for updating their software, now if they could just do something about their server stability. It's nice to see the online poker leader looking over their shoulder and not simply becoming lazy.

I personally think the showdown exposes are the best change, I wish it would pause 1 second after exposing the cards and finishing out dealing the board. Still though this is a change for the better.

Im not sure about the layout yet, but I'll know more in a week or so when I get back from [size=5]VEGAS BABY![/font].

I closed all my accts, (ok ok I have 80 cents in my party acct.) and the cash is going to vegas with me.

Most of it is earmarked for the Bellagio's $100 NL cash game.

I'll be posting pics all week via my sidekick's camera phone. And I'm hoping to meet up with grubby sometime as well.

My plan is to try and play mostly at the Luxor (to get room rate+ tourneys) The Orleans for tourneys, Monte carlo and Mirage becuase I like their rooms, The Bellagio for the $$ and the only NL game that's spread regularly, and maybe Excalibur becuase grubby is staying there and they have bonuses if you get your pocket aces cracked (and mine always do).

before sunday though things are going to be nuts here, I'm in the process of remodeling my kitchen, over the last few weeks we've completely gutted the room, moved everything to the basement, put the fridge in the garage. and have started rebuilding.

We got the walls up and painted, the electrical work in done, the hardwood floor was put in this week. Tommorow (friday) I have to take my cat with me to work so they can sand and stain the hardwood floor. When they stain it everyone has to leave the house for 2-3 hours. So Patches is coming to work with me.

It's crazy not having a sink, having all my food in the basement, and having to go out in the garage to get stuff out of the fridge.

I haven't been able to make a frozen pizza for over a month now =(

I'm breaking the curve for average take out and delivery per week too I'm afraid.

Hopefully, while I'm in [size=5]VEGAS BABY![/font] the cabinets will be put in and the appliances delivered. The we can get the countertops ordered (they take 2 weeks) and then maybe by the end of march I can get a sink back in the kitchen.

I havent even left for this vegas trip and I'm already planning my next one, July 28-Aug 3/4 ish for the Defcon convention, just 3 weeks after going to New York for [url=http://www.hope.net]The Fourth Hope Conference[/url]

Lets hope I win enough $ at the tables this trip to afford all ths summer traveling.

Is it me or should the Travel Channel just change their name to The Vegas Channel, I swear it's all I ever see on their, is "how to beat vegas" "how to cheat vegas" "Best hotels of vegas" "best bathrooms in vegas" "best hookers of vegas"..

..ok maybe not the last one but you get my drift.

Between that and the WPT, (and that guy from cheer's new show Made in America ) there's nothing else ever on when I turn it on.

Actually I like the travel channel this way, maybe if they stuck to the current format and added blocks of E's Wild On, and maybe randomly threw in a Girls Gone Wild episode just to keep me on my toes, I would throw away my remote control.

Did I mention [size=5]VEGAS BABY![/font]??

ok ok, updates to follow, until then,

Good luck flopping big hands (and not the second highest boat i.e. yesterday)
