Lauren's Here!!!!

My girlfriend Lauren arrived yesterday and will be staying with me here in the condo until I leave for the World Series. This will be really cool because now I have someone to hang out with on off days and a partner to experience Vegas with. Plus she is a great cook and has pledged to cook for me, so I am living the life. Some of Lauren's friends are actually in Vegas now as well, and we were going to go to Studio 54 here in the MGM, but her one friend's id wasn't good enough to get past security, so we ended just coming back and going to sleep.
This morning, we got up and worked out, which is the first time I have done that this entire trip. So far, she has had a very good influence on me. I still will be playing all the events I planned, as well as online, and now I have someone to eat with at dinner break, instead of winning lots of money of my last hands of three card poker.
As for poker news, not too much has been happening because there was this 4 day stretch of no tournaments for me. I am playing the $5k six handed event on Thursday, which should be a lot of fun but I imagine the field will be insanely tough like the rest of the 5k events. In the online world, I played a session on Saturday where I made +$280 and then had the +$1200 tournament day on Sunday. I came out and played another session on Monday and got absolutely crushed. I played pretty poorly, plus it was just one of those sessions where I kept getting played back at, and I never had any value punish them with. All of my bluffs got called down, I was getting walks in the big blind when I would have KK and QQ, it was very frustrating. I was down around $900 at one point, but I put in two later sessions and got about $700 back. I would've actually been profitable for the day but I got it all in on an under flop with my JJ against a guy's J8 of diamonds flush draw, and he hit it on the river. Even still, it was nice to make that come back. I will be playing again here in a couple of hours. I need to put in a few good sessions because I only have 500 vpp to go til I get Gold Star again and I only have til the 30th to do it. I promise there will be more poker posts coming the next few days...
