Aruba III

After busting the main event I played two post-lims, a 1K and a 2K shorthanded. The 1K was a bit of a blur as the structure and the scotches were going fast. I of course had a ton of chips then lost some flips and 30/70s to get about avg when we were approaching the bubble. I stayed aggressive, but kept losing races to keep my stack modest. Just before the bubble I lost KK vs AQ for most my stack, but immediately doubled up with 57cc vs A4o to have avg chips (13bbs) going into the money. I doubled up a 4bb stack to put me a bit short, so I of course pushed the cutoff with Q2hh. The chipleader (22BBs) found a call with A8 and it held. I was out in 9th.
The 2K shorthanded went quicker for me. A tight player raised the cutoff and I called the button with 107ss. The small blind who was playing super aggro 3 bet small. I had just enough behind to shove and get him to fold a marginal hand, so I thought. He called pretty quickly getting 1.6 to 1 with A10o.
The rest of the trip consisted of laying out, walking around, eating, drinking, and wacthing Eric make a deep run in the main event. We never got around to tubing or parasailing, but it was certainly a good last few days. Eric got 4th place which was good enough to put him back in first in the Cardplayer POY race. As nice as it was there I was ready to be home. Living out of a suitcase for longer than a week makes me miss home no matter where I am.
Since being home I played a 3K event at Bellagio that attracted 31 people to which I busted around 6pm and put in a session online that saw me lose close to 15K in cash games. There is a 5K event at the Bellagio today, but I am very doubtful I am going to play. That being said I think I am going to go in a play cash
