Trip Report Golden Triangle
Looks like I missed a lot of action around here. Being mostly on the road the last few months I haven't done much browsing. Last night I was back home at my computer and read the whole C$ faked his death thread. I'll never have them few hours back but wow that was entertaining and twisted.
July 20th I left SD on a #Lose15win100 challenge. I was trying to lose 15 lbs, while making 100k playing only poker. Needed a sports betting break after the way the NBA ended. Wrong side of both the ECF, WCF, and Finals put a dent in my sports betting roll. I knew I was going to have to run like God, hit a tourney(haven't played one since a min cash at 2016 WSOP) or hit a jackpot to achieve these goals.
Anyhow Day 2 I hit the jackpot at the Bike in the 20-40 and made another 10k playing 20-40 and 40-80 limit holdem the first week and lost 10 lbs.
Weeks 2 and 3 were up in Northern California. Spent time in Sac, Chico, Roseville, Oakland, SF. Went to the 2 game series Padres @OAkland at the Coliseum. It was the only park in Ca I had never been to and this might be their last year in Oakland. We had great seats right behind the Pads dugout. Sadly game 2 is when this horrible slump started after giving up a 3-1 lead in the 9th. SMH Padres look like toast, still holding out small hope. My friends are doing these popup dispensaries in No Ca. Fun events to go to, saw a bunch of great weed and the mushroom phenomenon real. Picked up a mushroom strawberry lemonade that I drank in Vegas one night. Very good product!!
The next month or so has been in Vegas and So Cal. The week I was in Vegas the games were not that great and I never played any of the scheduled donkaments I wanted to shoot at @Venetian and Wynn. For some reason I can not get myself up for a tournament like I do for a cash game. The fear of failure gets to me and I find something else to do.
Here we are almost 2 months in to the challenge and I gained the 10 back and am up 60ish. Last week winning 25 online playing PLO gave me a chance at the money goal but no good on the weight goal. Played a 5-10 session last Thursday night where I bought in 1k and in 4 hours we got a 17k stack and I wouldn't have taken this shot had i not been down 1k in the live game weeee.. Too much partying and steakhouses to hit the weight goal. One week left the goal is to grind hard, get a few hikes in and play a fucking tournament. Pics and results to come all the shit in my phone.
oh and last thing this is not the start of some long con. Promise!!
