So to blog or not ?
I've been trying to decide whether or not to do a diary/blog of my trip to Vegas.....mainly as I am crap at writing!
Here goes with a brief background of why and how I've managed a trip to sin city.
So I've been playing poker for about ten years I started online and progressed to Leicester gala and my main poker home when it opened DTD.
I've always wanted to go to Las Vegas .... Maybe one day !
I said to mrs fish about 5 years ago we should go for my 40th and we should start saving .... But we never did !
Then about 18 months ago me and Kev smith decided we should save up and save a % of all wins and go (still a long shot)
But save we did £20 a week at first or 10 % of our wins into our Vegas fund !!
We was doing well I think we had about £500 each saved up when it was Monte Carlo time last April at DTD !
Again we said 10% of any win into Vegas
A 6th place finish & £18k ........
£1800 plus what we already had was just an awesome boost to my fund all of a sudden this Vegas dream can actually be a reality !!!
In fact we had what we needed to book .... Now for spending money !!
Later In the year I made another major final which was DTD deepstack where I finished 5th for £5k......
About the same time Kev told us that Sharon (his girlfriend) was pregnant and they wouldn't be able to come as she would be 7 months pregnant which is awesome news and really happy for them but also means me and Ali would be going Vegas on our own !
In December we booked and we paid 2k or there abouts for 7 days b&b at planet Hollywood......OMG were actually going !!
Later today we are driving down to gatwick for a night in hotel
Car park was £55 or £90 including breakfast to stay in hotel & park ....a no brainer in my book !
Alison really ain't looking forward to the flight as she don't like flying anyway!!
But apart from that and missing the kids (my mum is having them) she is really looking forward to it !
I know a lot of you guys go every year but for me and mrs fish this really is a trip of a lifetime !!
VEGAS BABY !!

Hi Lee
You probably have no plans, but I go tomorrow. Have promised Mrs a couple of days with her til I make her regret it, but will be playing Aria 12.30 tourn on Thursday if you are about.
Will wear an Arsenal polo shirt, just to show myself up, if you fancy it.
