Sorry for the lack of updates...Vegas has been tons of fun in every way besides poker-related, and that doesn't lend itself well to frequent blog entries.

So I made day 2 of the Main Event. I play on Day 2b (Wednesday) and will start with just over 42k at blinds of 250/500-50. Follow me on twitter if you want to see my progress through the tourney.

My starting table was about average: 4 donks, 3 solid/aggro younger guys, and one semi-aggro/semi-solid guy. The only person who really gave me trouble though was one of the solid/aggro younger guys named Scott who was sitting 3 to my left. He 3b *tons* both in & OOP, which put lots of pressure on me but IMO isn't a very good strategy when there are tons of donks trying to see flops with hands that are often dominated.

One hand in particular stands out: a spazz-tastic / spewy donk was moved two to my right and opened to 750 from MP at 150/300 blinds. Solid guy to my right called, and I called from the hijack seat with KQo; Scott 3b to 3400 from the SB, the original raiser called, guy to my right folded, and I reluctantly folded my hand too. This is the absolute top of my folding range in position, and had I known that Scott was 3-betting with as wide a range as I later realized there's no chance I'm folding here.

Flop was Q54r, and Scott checked. Spazz donk insta-jams allin for ~12k into this ~8500 chip pot, and Scott tanks, verbally going through his thought process and about how this is such a tough spot but he doesn't think the guy jams a queen here...before finally calling with 77. Donk tables J5ss, and Scott's pair holds. Honestly though, WTF is he doing 3-betting a hand like 77 OOP in a super-deepstacked tourney like the Main Event with solid players in position to him? 3-betting 77 there is flat-out bad IMO.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited to jump back into the fray on Wednesday. My friends & roommates playing yesterday all made it to Day 2 as well, so hopefully we can put up some good results this year.

In other news, my skydiving / wind tunnel suit finally arrived about two weeks back, and I've been itching to test it out ever since. I came really close to wearing it to the Main Event (with the helmet, of course), but decided to go incognito by wearing a real suit instead. It's nice to not get insta-recognized as a standard internet kid...nobody suspects the young guy in a suit!
