Extended days at the Vegas AirbnB to June 7th - July 14th, so June 8th - July 13th will be playing poker. I am going to start with two 6 hour sessions per day at $1/$3 and if I profit and can do that for a week will move up to $2/$5. Maybe take a few shots at higher stakes if I am running well and playing well. I really have no clue if I can do it but will try at least. I might find I ****ing hate my life after Day 4 playing that much and just soak up some sun, but I’m going with the intention of playing and crushing poker to the max capacity. Health always comes first but it’s a work trip and money makes me happy. Breaking even or running/playing poorly will make it difficult for me motivation wise. Which can happen very very easily so part of my success is out of my control but maybe the universe and the Poker Gods will bless me with good fortune. But as I said odds at success are like +1500. When I was in my younger 20s in college I could grind days on end and played and thought about the game obsessively but I’m not in the greatest shape so it will be tougher than it used to be no doubt. It’s all just words and a pipe dream until I put it into action. Being able to follow through is what separates winners. I’ve said a lot of **** so far but at the end of the day now is the time I need to find it in myself to commit.

I’m leaving on June 5th. Going to stop in Denver. It takes 12 hours to get there. If I play 10 hours at Ameristar in Blackhawk, CO I get a free room. So am going to try and leave to Denver 1pm Wed, arrive at 6am Thurs when poker opens there, play until 4pm-5pm and crash in the hot tub. Maybe even piss inside of it. 10 hours after a 16 hour drive just for a free room may not happen let’s be honest but I’ll try. Then leave for Vegas at 8am Friday drive 11 hours settle in and start the grind Sat. I have a few days of work left and some **** to take care of with a move but I’m already completely checked mentally from work and my mind is on Vegas. Still figuring out best free parking spot in Vegas to Aria and Bellagio but I’m not seeing much so may be hustling from Westgate to Bellagio 3 miles each way per day???? Any advice? Let’s get $

Finally got here. Damn that was a long haul. I think about 28 hours of drive time. I made another $6k today in GME after hours, which means I made $16k on a meme stock on the drive to Vegas. I was down about $7k on the position Monday though with a really bad entry of $41 @ 500 shares.. Decided to hold because I was dialed in and was convinced the stock would pop. I'm going to take tomorrow to rest and finish this trade off. I'm not going to sit at a poker table with a $30k+ position in a stock as volatile as GME when 50c swings are more than a buy-in lol. I make about $70k a year in salary at my job so that’s a lot of money for me

On the way into Utah my A/C in my car stopped working, so I drove all the way through 100+ degree weather with warm air blowing in my face in a hot car. It was very brutal. Vegas is hit btw!!!!!!! I also burnt my left arm pretty bad. Good thing is my room for $27 is not bad, and I now am in Vegas with a vehicle and have about 38 days here. Since I'm in the markets right now I've already failed my challenge LOL. Definitely going to put some solid hours in though and am excited to play at Bellagio.

My room wasn't ready when I arrived (I told them 7pm I came at 4pm - even though check in was 4), so I was able to run a few errands and get set up real nice. Did laundry. Cleaned & vacuumed the car. Showered. Gassed up. Found a place I think that’ll fix my ac gonna do that tomorrow afternoon. Just laid in bed after a shower and shave. Most likely will play $2/$5 Bellagio Saturday.
