Damn. I won't win 10 million. I spent half an hour typing a blog, but of course the fucking computer messed up and I lost it. Thus, I'm not typing it again. I busted on the first hand of level 5 with about 1050 players remaining of the 1750 who started today. I was never higher than 30500 in chips. Two key hands...I lost a 14000 dollar pot in level 3 with 93hh AI on the flop against Kc9s on Kh Qh Tc. Later, I got slowrolled by QQ when I checkraised a shorty AI on Q42 with two hearts with 9h9s. The guy took a full 30 seconds before calling me. You almost can't consider it a slowroll because the people play so bad in the main event. He said he thought about laying it down because I had a flush draw...Wow. Tomorrow at 5 p.m. there is some 2500 dollar Venetian main event which I'll play. I'll take a day off and then play the Bellagio Cup Main Event day 1b. I won this event last year, and it would be nice to win again. I am so burnt out on tournaments but Bellagio Cup III is one I have to play. I'm not sure what my plans are as far as continuing playing poker, returning to school, etc. after the Bellagio Cup. I feel like there is something missing from my life while playing poker full-time, so I'm considering going in a different direction.
