Hey guys,

I'm writing this in complete dark, waiting for sleepiness to knock on my door. It's my last night in Vegas and it's been a hell of an experience. I managed to play all of one event (just the main, which I gloriously busted on day one), have met a ton of really cool people, and have managed to ONCE AGAIN change my travel plans. Long story short, Jman (Phil Galfond) and his good friend Don (SoCalQuest) invited Jungleman, Jose (the Portuguese poker prodigy) and I to live with them in Vancouver, Canada. For the longest time Phil Galfond has been a personal hero of mine. I don't tend to idolize a lot of poker players, but I've always looked up to him, so I'm super excited. The Eurotrip will have to wait and I'm looking forward to it down the road, but living in Vancouver will be great for my focus and working on my poker game.

Check out my video on Cardrunners that's coming out tomorrow. It should recap some interesting hands that I played in the main event. I think you guys will like it. Once I get back to Austin, I will try to pump out another full-length video, but once I'm in Vancouver expect a lot more cool and interesting content.

That being said, I don't have a ton of time to write right now, but I'm going to be on the road to Austin for a couple of days and I'll have a lot of time on my hands to roll things around in my head, as I am wont to doing. I've always found driving by myself on long trips to be very cathartic and helps me to focus on my life and put my affairs in perspective, but this time I had an idea that I want to see how will work out. I've been doing video blogs while in Vegas, and although they turned out okay and I think I can communicate well through video, I think the written word is my home and I want to improve my craft as a writer. So I decided to enlist the help of my blog readers to help me come up with my next blog entry while I'm on the road.

What I'm going to do is give out a list here of potential topics for my next blog. I'll probably write it tonight or tomorrow sometime while I'm on my drive from Vegas to Austin. I'm sure my mind will be engrossed in all sorts of things on the way there, but when I stop somewhere with internet I will bring my laptop and bang out my next blog entry. So leave a comment on my blog or on Twitter (@INTERNETPOKERS) and let me know what you want me to write about off of this list of topics. Whichever one gets the most votes by the time I check back, I'll compose a blog post about. I am curious to see what people are interested to read about!

• My thoughts on live poker, regs, and the live poker scene
• On the the difference between poker theory and poker play, and how they relate to study/practice
• Why poker seems to make me sad (an interesting comment on my last blog entry which I thought I might address)
• Interesting stories/people from Vegas
• The desire and aspiration of travel and adventure
• On the poker instructional video industry, landmarks, and how it's changed the game
• How to play king motherfucking queen

Leave a comment and let me know which one you're interested in reading about. I'll check back tomorrow while I'm on the road, roll it around the old noggin for a while, and bang something out on my laptop. And don't forget to check out my video!

Best of lucksacking,

Haseeb
