I played a decent amount of poker this week between sitting on my couch playing FTOPS and sitting in the Venetian playing their deep stack series. Not only did I not final table either one I didnt even cash. I did find some shallow cashes in other events online including a final table in FTP's 100k grtd. I finished 7th as my KK lost to Q7. In a Venetian $300 I built up a huge stack (80K with the blinds 500/1000) when a young kid was moved to our table with about 70K. I opened 3 times in a row, with the 3rd time having AKo. The kid 3 bet to 9K and I needed to decide how much to 4 bet. I made it 24.5K thinking it looked super strong, but the kid ripped and I called off. He had QQ and the board ran out 1099KQ. The river Q crippled me and caused me to lose a chipleading pot.
This week I will play one or two Venetians and one or two sessions online, hopefully giving me some time to get ready to go to Texas this weekend. Cody's bachelor party will be in Austin/Dallas as we will catch a Texas/KU game as well as a Cowboy/Redskin game. I hope my liver can handle the beating of a barely conscience weekend. I am hoping to get some errands done as well as hang out with Morgan in the mean time.

Basic Facts
- Justin Young
- I am currently a poker player living in Las Vegas. If poker doesn't work out I will take a serious look into becoming a professional flipper. However, this may be more of a sweat than my current job. For now I am enjoying the profession - the cash games and tourneys. I certainly do not recommend this job for everyone as it is often a grind and, as my wife can atest to, when I have a bad day at work, it's a bad day in general. But I love the competition and I love the game. Gl to you.
