i'm about to embark on my 3rd trip to vegas ever, as well as my 3rd trip since the august.

i'm freakin fired up.

2.5 weeks ago, i decided to put some money back in partypoker, since i couldn't get in to any live games around here and i needed to ensure that i was ready for vegas.

i had doubled my money by the middle of last week, then lost almost all the profits on sunday, but last night i'm back over 100% return. i've moved up in limits, the variance remains high, but i feel like i'm, at the least, not a ridiculously bad poker player. the confidence is right about where it should be, i think.

i also have been going to hitorstand.net to get some blackjack practice in. did you know you double down with a soft 19 (ace and a 8) against a 6? i bet you didn't. liar.

i'm fired up to see the guys, i'm pumped to gambooool, i can't wait to watch sweet 16 games in one of the many sportsbooks... all in all, i've prepped, i'm ready, let's get on with it.

posting will be, you know, nonexistent until next monday or so. also, can someone chime in on this fucking thread and tell them to shut up already? i feel like we're at a saturation point on information about arrowhead financial services.
