Nothing to report so far as alas I've been bed stricken with Tonsillitis and a fever for the past 36 hours pretty miserable but think it's clearing up and I managed to get out for a few hours tonight which was nice.

Regged for $1500 tomorrow but will only play if I feel a lot better.

I never get ill either, literally missed less than 5 days of school lifetime I reckon and barely ever gotten ill since then, so day 1 of Vegas isn't ideal timing, esp as I wanted to go to EDC.

Saving the rungood for the poker then...

Serve of EDC is probably the nut best result, you'd be in a body bag after for days - trust me

Gl out there Alex

For some that would be the case, but for obvious reasons others probably cope with things like that better

I always used to forget to drink any, so it could well be

So I played the $1500 yesterday, feeling better but not much better, I just felt like I should man up and that the worst of it was definitely behind me.

It was bizarre, because within the first hour of play I suddenly felt 100x better. Maybe i just needed that poker fix!

I suppose it had been a while since I last played - I remember I always used to notice when I'd been several days without playing - it felt unusual and I was always itching to get back. Now it's not the same, I can take time off and not think about poker very easily, and while I'm playing it struggles to capture my attention like it used to. Which is a good and a bad thing I suppose.

I did enjoy yesterday a lot though, and I'm really excited for the rest of the series, I don't remember these events being as soft as it was yesterday, so I'm optimistic for the trip!

I ran well yesterday, was on the right end of some horrible coolers early on, which is really useful given the structure (4500 starting stack) so that helped me always have a healthy stack. I didn't run so well towards the end of the day, but still made it through with 27,200 going into 600/1200.

We're very close to the money so I should scrap in and then see what we can do! A nice half a milli up top...I always stress the importance of a good start to Vegas, that would qualify....

Jack has had an even better start, and has a huge day 3 sweat - twenty something left in Venetian 1600 with 143k up top! He's promised the boys a huge night out when he ships, can't wait! Will be straight on the rail if I bust today.

Exciting times already...
