Day 1

Tomorrow starts what hopefully will turn out to be a steady career change. The Venetian Deep stack starts tomorrow and hopefully will cash so that I can set myself up for the rest of the tourney.

A little back story for those that want to know.

Basically, the wife and I decided to roll the dice and pack up our lives and move out West from GA. Both myself and my wife's jobs weren't necessarily safe so we decided that if we were going to go broke and risk going belly up, why not give it a chance out in Vegas. We figured we would rather be in that percentile that went and did something they wanted rather than be the people that only wished they had. So 4 weeks ago we packed up the Uhaul and made the 4 day drive from Atlanta to Las Vegas. My company has been gracious enough to allow me to continue doing my job from home while I am here. How long that will last, I don't know, but I can honestly say that it is a blessing to not be unemployed right now. The wife managed to get a job rather quickly out here so our new life has started off right.

Now on to the poker news. Haven't really done too much other than one small sit-n-go at the Saraha which I cashed 6th for a very small sum. other than that I've had a couple of good sessions at Red Rock and the Venetian. Now I'm just gearing up for the Deep Stack tourney. One or two good cashes there could help set things up nicely for a couple of months until the WSOP starts up in May.

So far, so good out in Vegas. The weather is nice, windy as hell though. One thing I will say that I thought I would never think after sevearl near death experiences in cabs out here, is that the people drive slower than hell. I'm going the speed limit and I'm blowing past people like crazy. Just not used to that after my many years driving GA 400 in Atlanta. Those that have been there know its a death trap.

Check back regularly as I will provide updates from my poker doings and other random thoughts.
