Italy Top 10

DaMnedLies & Statistix

I'm the #12 (Sliding PLB) ranked Italian online poker tournament player in the world according to PocketFives.com at the moment. Dario Minieri is ranked #7. The stat is just a bit of fun though as there are only 50 Italians registered! Still, I'm trying to get into the top 10 as a challenge as soon as possible so that I can concentrate on cash games! ;)

Did a little PLO cash game experiment earlier.

Basically, I played 8 tables of $0.5/$1 PLO on FullTiltPoker for 30 minutes and my statistics were:

Total Hands = 244
Profit/Loss = +$138
Rake = $40.32

Vegas Summary

My 3 week trip to Vegas cost over $7,000. $1,575 of which was tournament buy-ins. I broke even if not made a slight profit on cash games and thus the rest went on hotels, travel and other expenses.

The tournaments that I played:

$160 Binions PLO8B: AAxx lost to A4xx
$175 Rio WSOP Sat: Chip leader 4 handed. AQ V A8, A5 V A8 on A52 flop - 8 river. Finished 4th.
$340 Caesars Mega Stack: Crippled by AA v 88
$400 Rio All In Tournament: Lasted 5 hands. KK v AJ
$160 Binions PLO8B: 13/115. 12 paid. AAxx v 44xx, 4 turn after TQT flop. BUBBLE! Could have folded my way to final table easily as there were 3 ultra short stacks and I had a medium stack.
$340 Venetian Deep Stack: A5 v AJ. Top 25%.

Overall not a profitable trip but I had a great time in Las Vegas!
