7/1 to 7/7

This weekend was the 4th of July weekend so I am a little late typing this up. I did play a lot of poker over the holiday weekend and managed to earn my 1500 VPP’s on Stars by the 5th in order to maintain my SilverStar status until the end of August. This allows me to earn points 50% faster while playing and also gets me into some nice freeroll tournaments for WSOP seats and cash. I continued playing 4 tables of 2/4 and probably played 3,000 to 3,500 hands over the weekend. That sounds like a ton of playing but at 360 hands per hour that was actually less than 10 hours of play. I did play a few tournaments with no success and had a horrible day on Saturday so through Wednesday I have only turned a small profit. I think Saturday I played with horrible drunk players all day and had more bad beats than I care to think about. Hopefully the last 2 days of the week will be positive ones and I can leave for Vegas on a nice up note. I do have high hopes while there as I generally have great luck playing live. Hopefully I am able to either satellite into my event or win enough playing cash games to cover the cost. That way if I am fortunate enough to cash it will be all profit. Thursday and Friday I was able to end slightly ahead. For the first week of July I was really about as blah as it gets. I did manage to play quite a few hands so that is good and I am playing really good heading out to Vegas so hopefully I am saving up for the big one.
