The last time I blogged, I was reviewing my Vegas trip and then I slacked off and never finished it.  Of course now, I don't remember the full specifics of each day.  The short version of it; the trip was successful, made a little bit of money, great times with friends, but its always so draining on me.  I think thats why over the past few years after I get back from Vegas, I take a hiatus from poker.  Playing constantly for 10-14 hrs for week or longer just drags.  I wasn't running bad or anything like that.  As a matter of fact, I was running pretty well.  I haven't touched a deck of cards since Vegas and with that, I haven't blogged anything because there really isn't anything to talk about poker related. 

However, with an event coming up this Saturday in the group and football season right around the corner, I figure I'm going to start getting "active" again.  This event on Saturday is a first of its kind.  One of the regular hosts is moving away and because of that, we are doing a multi venue event.  40 total players split between two houses and combining when there is 2 tables left.  Going to be a geat turnout and a pretty good prizepool.  Mind you, I haven't played for 2 months but who forgets how to walk right?  I'm going in with my game face and should be extremely sharp.  I can't wait!

Last year, I took an absence from fantasy football to focus strictly on handicapping like I used to do and it paid off.  I made more doing that than I would have with any of the fantasy leagues I would have joined.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed fantasy football and such but it just took away from capping.  I know it sounds crazy but it just did.  Again, this year, no fantasy teams and I fully expect to do well come December.  I usually don't finalize all my picks until right before kickoff but I'm going to try and post them.  Lets make some money!

I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to do status updates while I'm in a poker tournament via twitter.  www.twitter.com/thongkhouang.  When I was in Vegas, they don't allow you to talk at the tables but if you're not in a hand, they allow you to text.  So I figure thats the best way to do it.

Stay in touch!  See you at the felt!
