My summer in Vegas this year turned out not to be profitable, but I'm happy with the decisions I made and obv still had a great time. I made Day 2 of the Main Event and was generally happy with my play all around. Interestingly enough, I was dealt AK on both the first and last hand of my main event and obv lost them both; the latter allin pre vs AQ for a decent stack. I'd consider both of my ME tables this year to have been very good, which makes my inability to go deeper in the tournament all the more unfortunate.
I've been grinding a bunch online since returning from Vegas and have already recouped the summer losses + a decent amount of profit. PLO is going well, and I think my game is very good right now. I definitely think I'm better at adjusting to my opponents than they are at adjusting to me, and hopefully things don't change on this front anytime soon. :)
In other news, the lease on my apartment in Chicago is up at the end of this month, and I've decided to move back to Texas. I was hoping to do a poker house with my buddy Clay but that deal unfortunately fell through, so I'm flying down to Austin next week to look for a place to live. I'm still very interested in getting a poker house together for a long-term (1yr+) deal, so I'm posting this here in on the off chance that another young, committed, winning poker pro is reading this blog and has a similar interest. If that's you, please PM me or shoot me an email ASAP!
This summer has also been a good few months for me in my wind tunneling hobby; my new tunnel suit fits great and flies really well, and I love the helmet too. Check it out:

Final session in the tunnel, working on head-down with one of their suits because it has safety grips on it:
This was only the last ~4min or so of my flight (and the last session of the day), so I was getting tired about ~1:30 into the video and decided to mess around with more sit- & back-flying. Like I've said before, if you've never tried this you are missing out on one of the most fun (and unique) experiences you'll ever have.
These instructors are on an entirely different level; it's hard for me to convey to you guys how good they are, but here goes. In the wind tunnel world, most people who come in and fly are like 1c/2c NL droolers, and I'm at about the "solid 1/2NL grinder" level. Given that, most of the instructors (including the two at the end of the second video) are all crushing 500/1k, and I want to be up there with them sooooo badly. If you just skipped over everything else I posted (videos included), go scroll to 5:00 in the second video and see what you're missing. It's just sick.
