No poker was played today.

Nope, I haven't taken leave of my senses. The window in which for me to play here isn't huge, however in the upcoming days/weeks, trust me, there are no shortage of things to play. I made day two of the Monster Stack, which resumes tomorrow, and my scheduled event today started at 5 pm. I therefore decided that rather than punt in that and also be up for 11 am tomorrow, I'd use it as a rest day to start fresh for the WSOP in the morning. Nothing crocks your chances of playing well and being focused like having three hours sleep, so I decided that buying in for the Venetian event today would be an error on my part, since I'd like to go deep (read late) and if I didn't then there would be no point buying in to begin with. Like I say, plenty of things still to come, and if I bust out, it's simply another shell in the arsenal for something else.

It's quite funny that people at work were talking to me about my long "holiday", and I was quite emphatic that I'd get very little time to actually holiday or rest up. Here I am on day 4 by the pool with a screwdriver chilling right out. I've said before that a lot of players feel the time constraint whilst here. Like, they HAVE to fill every waking hour with poker, or they are somehow losing out. A lot of these guys aren't winning players anyway, so it makes limited sense to me to be running yourself into the ground just to rack up the hours. What do I know? I've only been playing since the Dark Ages.

For me, today was a few errands, some pool time, and a hot yoga class in the evening (if you ever come out here and are into doing more than just eating fried chicken and having a heart attack, then try TruFusion-it's great and I'm a confirmed devotee of the place). In the evening I did a bit of shopping, cooked up some chicken with butter & balsamic vinegar (an old Nigel Slater recipe, but something the yanks have neither heard of nor tasted before), and took it easy. We resume battle tomorrow at the Rio, and whatever it brings, I'm better prepared for it one way or the other.
