I hate to use the word nemesis, but...

Wow. Another WPBT event, and more action with vegaas. As a fellow "basement blogger" (hell, yeah, I'll steal it) I just can't seem to get on the right side of a flop with this guy. Two cases in point from tonight's WPBT event:

I finally went out in Stud when I was dealt 272 (closest thing you can get to the hammer in stud) and got it all in the middle. Lucko21 called me with his flush draw to win it on 7th street, but I was close to getting back into it. Finished 20th out of 33 starters. Was as high as 3rd before vegaas started stealing my chips.

Well, at least some good news. I am finally out of .10/.20 limit hell and am actually well on my way out of .25/.50 and back into .50/1. I'm up to $25.27, so I'm less than $5 away there. Should make it by Weds. I'll cya at the tables...
