Leaving Las Vegas
I never got anything going in the main event. I busted in the third level after hovering around starting stack for the first 4 hours. I did manage to crush the Chinese games during the breaks but lost a bit back when I went over to the Bellagio to play the mixed games for the last night before heading home.
Overall my trip was a failure. I lost money overall and that is the ultimate measure for a poker trip. It was a big chunk of time and commitment out of my life to be in Vegas for 5 weeks and I dont know if I will be doing this whole thing again. I feel as though the 5-7 day trips I have made in the past are more condusive to me winning.
I would like to let everyone know how much I appreciate the support I got in the form of emails, texts, and blog comments. It really was a help having so many friends and family behind me the whole way.
I am flying back to the east coast today and very much looking forward to finally starting my summer.
