WSOP

So I made my arrangements for WSOP, I'll be in Las Vegas from June 1st till July 16th. I'll be arriving early in the morning on June 1st in order to play Event 2 of the WSOP which starts at noon (I should be arriving at 9am).

Here's what I think I'll be playing at WSOP:

Event 2 - June 1st: $1,500 NLHE event which has 2 day 1s so should be a 4-day event starts at Noon
Event 29 - June 15th: $3,000 NLHE 3-day event starts at Noon
Event 31 - June 16th: $2,500 NLHE 6-max 3-day event starts at Noon
Event 32 - June 17th: $1,500 NLHE 3-day event starts at Noon
Event 41 - June 22nd: $1,500 Mixed LHE/NLHE event Starts at 5pm
Event 52 - June 30th: $1,500 NLHE 3-day event starts at Noon.

This is just a tentative schedule. I would plan to play more events but I can't enter events that start or run into Friday/Saturday so it really limits my option . . . I'll only be able to win 4 bracelets :p.

The rest of my time there I will be grinding at NL cash - either 2/5NL or 5/10NL, depending on how I call it when I get there.

I can't believe I'm leaving on Sunday - it's gonna ROCK!!!

Live
I played 2 live sessions (my tuesday night game): Combined it was a total of 13 hours and I made a combined $290 (lost $80 one session made $370 the next).

Total for period: $290/13 hours ($22/hour)
Total since start: ($367)/118.75 hours (-$3.09/hour)

For those just looking at the negative amount it's important to remember 2 things, 1) this represents about 3.6k hands and 2) it's a mix of 2/5NL in casinos with 1/2NL in home games - so the negative here doesn't mean too much, it's just annoying.

I did play a very peculiar hand in my session on the 6th.

It's 6-handed and everyone has $200+ (don't remember exact stacks).

I'm OTB with TT.

PF: UTG straddles, it folds to me and I decide to call, SB calls, BB calls, UTG checks

Flop ($16): 642r
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $8, I call, both blinds fold

Turn ($32): 7d (2 diamonds out now)
UTG bets $8, I reraise to $25

Now at this point for some reason I start to laugh uncontrollably for no reason (it happens very rarely maybe 2-3 times in all my live play) UTG asks me why I'm laughing and I manage to spit out 'no reason', at this point UTG is still mulling over his decision he then picks up his cards shows me 42o thinks some more and calls.

Turn con't: UTG calls

River ($82): 9d
UTG checks, I bet $60

UTG takes forever (literally like 3-5 minutes) before eventually folding.

Just one of those ultra-bizarre hands you never see online.

They really need to get rid of this shit where you cash and get less than 2x your buyin back.

I also lost $59.85 buying 10% of a guys action for a sunday.

Going to go play live today, and might drive down to a casino tommorow.

Also made a staking arrangement with a guy to play 50k hands of $50NL 6-max for me - we'll see how that goes.
