The journey begins anew. I wonder how my body will react to the time change...
No problems getting to LV, getting a rental car, or finding the GN for the first week+ of the 3 week trip.
I plan to meet a college friend (who is just turning 21), but am pretty much running solo for the next couple weeks. Although other people were interested in coming, timing didn't work out...
I have historically played a whole lot of PLO8 (first MTTs, then cash) in my online career. I basically planned the trip around the WSOP's PLO8 week. I then added length on either side of the trip to play in other MTTs (such as the PLO Hi tomorrow). My primary goal is NOT to play that much NLHE. Outside of the occasional home game dealer's choice and online poker, it's pretty much NLHE live in the Cleveland, OH area and vicinity...
Over the past year, I had previously played 3x at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY (45 min. east of Syracuse, NY) with some college friends (some of whom aren't 21). I really liked the structures that Turning Stone has for their MTTs. I've played a 440 (June 09) and 225 (Aug 09) NLHE MTT, but no cashes and always seemed to bust right before a break (out in level 3 in June 09, out in level 9 in Aug 09). For cash games, I played the 5-10 LO8 (after being disappointed that they don't spread PLO8 or NLO8) + 1-2/2-5 NLHE.
To refresh my live poker skills (outside of the weekly home game), I traveled with some college friends to Mountaineer Casino in WV (2 hours away) during Memorial Day weekend to play some 3-6 LO8 (full kill) and a little 1-2 NLHE cash. The full kill was something new to me...
