Tunica

Tunica was lots of fun, but -EV financially. My 2 buddies and I arrived at the Gold Strike around 930pm on Thursday. We checked in then headed to the blackjack tables. I came up with the great idea of going to the high limit room and managed to lose 1k in 12 hands. GG. After having my quickest blackjack session ever I decided to go up to the poker room to get these losses back. I carried on to play for 5 hours and managed to make $600 at the 1/2 NL game. The games had some decent players but they were easily exploitable if you played back at them. After the session I decided to call it a night and head to bed.
The next day we all got up late and ate at the food court. We headed back to the blackjack tables and we all made money. I was up about $300 after some single-deck blackjack, then ran up to the poker room. Big hand of the session involved me straddling. 7 players limped in and I rose it to $25 with AKs. Short stack with $80 goes all in and another guy says f' it and goes all in with $100. I insta-call and was up against 55 and 99. Much to my liking I turned a flush....oops. I was now finally up on the trip, but drunkness starts to kick in.
We had all been drinking heavily and I was starting to feel it. I'll keep the rest of the night short, but it basically boiled down to me losing $1500 in blackjack. I was pretty pissed at myself the next morning and decided to just cut my losses short. Grinded a break-even day and just chilled the rest of the trip until we had to go home on Sunday.

Blackjack: -$2500
Poker: +$1000

No more dumb blackjack for me..lol. Just stick to poker and stop playing the dumb 'fun' games.

Online poker wise I've realized I am not going to come close to my goals. I'm already a week behind and this Spanish class that just started is alot more work then I thought. It's class for 3.5 hours then almost 3 hours of homework a day. In order to ensure that I do not mess up and keep myself from getting my degree I cashed out almost everything on Full Tilt and Stars so I don't grind instead of studying. This will give me a much needed break from poker, allow me to concentrate and finish this class, and give me a chance to apply for some jobs. I was reading about a guy who deposited $100 and ran it to $70k playing PLO here. I decided to try so I cashed out down to $500 on FTP and went for it. Much to my dismay it did not work out. LOL. It was worth a shot.

Time to go back to the library and watch some dumb Spanish movie. GG. Shipshape.
