I will be posting in this thread this week so you can get a sense of who I am and what a family man does when he needs to fly away for a week to play a poker tournament.

Thank god I have an awesome wife who really helps me out.

To close out this opening post, here are some threads where I asked for situational advise, after the fact, deep in the 2013 Main Event, so you can get a feeling for how I play and some of my leaks that I have worked on fixing this year:

I leave to go to Vegas in less than four days.

Trying to wrap certain deals up at work and turn some over to others.

Need to arrange a birthday present for my twelve year old daughter and then arrange to have my saint of a wife drop her off to my ex-wife on Sunday.

The stress in building up to arrange things while I am away.

Waiting to board flight. Had to wake up at 3.15 am. Say bye to wife. Drop my 12 year old off at grand moms.

Sooooo tired. Sleep on plane? One time?

Landed in vegas 45 minutes early. Run good ?

GL !!

Gl out there! Looking forward to the thread. Stay alive.. If you can. Ha. Gl.

I like to be the first person at the table that way you can see as people check in, look at their name and look them up online

I am big on preparation. I am Now scoping my table for tomorrow. How to get to spa to use bathroom and where to charge devices.

I slept 6 hours. A new record for me in Vegas. Still 4 am now though. Uggghh

Can't tell you what a good thing this can be.

Feeling jittery and nervous

Just checked into the spa so I can hit it for the bathroom and snacks during the madhouse they call breaks.

Also prevents people from looking you up if you get there first

gl!!

Right table. I get ak. Raise and get blinds. Then have Qq there is a raise I 3 bet and he lays it down.

Yuck. Bad first level. 23,750. Good read on players though.

Down to 16k. Flop a str8 with 6-7. Board is 8-9-10.

Raise. I reraise. He jams. I just muck.

Ak diamonds in cutoff. I raise. Button and small blind call. Flop is a-rag-rag. All spade. I bet. Button raises I have to muck yet again. 13 k

Absolutely crippled. 2600. Lose big pot in b vs b. set of 10s to my aq

So depressing. Sorry investors. Still trying but 12 bigs is rough

Don't want to just punt it in. Holding for a spor

14 bigs or 2,850. But blinds coming around.

Sorry. Out

Villain likely only raising on a draw there. Would have smooth called if he had hit the flush. Probably a time I would have considered pushing depending on stack sizes.
