Hi guys
I'm making my first trip out to Vegas for the World Series this year leaving on June 17th and staying till 17th July staying in a house with 7 other poker players.
Even though this is my first Vegas trip, this trip is purely business for me, I'm not one to be going out partying much so any investors can be assured my head won't be turned by the bright lights of Vegas.
I'll be playing a good schedule of $1,500 WSOP events and some of the $1k casino main events like the golden nugget/Aria and Binions events before playing the main. It also helps I'll have been in Vegas over 3 weeks before the main starts to fully adjust to the time and heat differences.
This year has been a sort of revelation or a eureka moment for me in regards to MTT's, after a horrible run last year making so many day 2's/day 3's I just couldn't break that glass ceiling of final tables but after taking a few months off from the live game I got back online and got some coaching and got back to basics and speaking strategy with some of the better uk players I've changed the way I approach live tournaments and this year has already shown good results althought not a breakthrough score yet... In January I was chip leader on day 1 of the UKIPT Edinburgh, then in the very last hand on day 2 I had a top 10 stack for day 3 but found dem Aces and got all in pre vs AQ...to give the winner a huge chip lead for day 3 and he rivered a flush which put me short stack for day 3 and I finished a disappointing 41st.
A few weeks later I final tabled the DTD £300 deepstack losing a flip with TT<AK to finish 8th then just last week I final tabled the Sheffield leg of the Genting Poker Series main event finishing 8th again
Final tabled 7 other smaller tournaments this year too including the Ian credible £100 at DTD and £75 comps at Sheffield inbetween.
I think I've had a pretty decent start to the year seen as I've not really played many Live Tournaments due to spending much of my time playing live cash which has really helped my game playing deep stacked and now feel comfortable playing down the streets or playing pre flop and picking up on live tells too.

I'm sure I have met or played against most people on here so hopefully you will think I'm worth a small punt in the main event, I'll be selling at 1.38 which works out at the following -
Selling 40%
1% = £93
5% = £465
10% = £930
