DJ Cautious On Stars: The Worst Player In The World

Hi folks.. back in the UK after short vegas wsop trip. I was out there from 1st June to the 8th June...

All I can say was WHAT A CRAZY TRIP!!!!!

Was staying at the belligio for the most part and was probably averaging 3-4 sleep max per day. I play mostly cash games and they did not disapoint. the 5/5 plo action in the RIO was amazing and the 5/10/25 plo was just sick pure sicko!!! first day was stuck around 4k and the next day was stuck another 4k playing 5/5 and 5/10/25 so it was a great start lol By day 3 i was like what do I gotta do to book a win in this town and decided to go play 1-3 nl in ceasers for a few hours to get my confidence back and managed to grind out a $38 win which was the turn around for me.

On the 3rd of June i decided to short stack with 1k the 10/20 game which phil lack was playing in during his endurance challegene just to tell the folks back home I played with a "high Stakes pro".... I lasted all of 30 mins lol set over set pretty standard for me upto that point but hey at least i can say I played on the world breaking poker session!!!1

After day 3 I got my confidence back (the karma of 1/3 nl) and started winning at 5/10nl (OMG how slow can nl be at times.... so boring but abc play seems to work at that level) and then went back to take on the PLO games again at the RIO. I have got a new found respect for the old school gamblers who play the 5/10/25 and 10/25/50 plo (which i railed).  In the 5/10/25 which I played i saw 30k pots regularly and saw a level of gamble I had never seen in my life. Was just sick sick sick but great experience for me.

one thing which I think seperates the big winners and lossers at live high stakes plo is the ablity to not go on tilt and give money away when things are not going their way. Anyone can win when all the cards are running their way but its when you suffer a few bad beats or go card dead is what separates the tog dogs from the rest.

i left vegas truely humbled but in the end manged to hold my own and end up 1-2k down on my trip but have life lessions and poker experiences which will last me a life time!!

now its back to 1 tabling against the best internet players in the low to mid stakes plo players to improve my game for a month and work on playing time sessions rather than results based sessions to help improve my focus and concentration.. but for now im taking a break cos I am pokered out!!!!!!!
