Moon vs. the Mob

I just spent 30 minutes in an internet cafe writing a blog entry before moronically deleting it so now I will just give a brief recap:

I have been playing excellent poker the last few days. I made nice runs in the 2k NL at the WSOP on Friday and the Palms tonight but both times went out not long before the money. On Friday I played with 3 members of Britain's Hendon Mob (as well as Dewey Tomko, Jeff Shulman and some other fairly big names) before my AK ran into KK and AA on the same hand. It was a pleasure to play with such classy guys since a lot of the players here are rude, crude, charmless douchebags.

Also tonight I got to play with Rod Peate who finished second in the WSOP to the Crewhaters' favorite player Tom McEvoy back in the '80s. He commended me on my play. I should have told him he did the world a great disservice by allowing McEvoy to win the world championship and subsequently write about 8000 horrible poker articles but didn't think of it at the time.

I'm now staying at Harrah's which is a little quieter on the inside than the Rio but loud on the outside since it is located right at the heart of the Strip.

I'm playing the best I've ever played in a casino setting and feeling good about tomorrow's event (2k PLHE) as well as the 5k NL on Tuesday which I really have no business playing but will anyways. I gathered a lot of confidence and inspiration from watching the Bag hold his own against Lederer, Juanda, etc. and feel that a money finish will soon arrive if I keep playing like I have been.
