Gearing Up for Vegas

Well as the summer is on its way its time to start thinking about hitting the poker rooms in Vegas. I will be heading down for 5 days starting June 18th. I have to say that I can't wait for Vegas!!!!! I will be sitting in at the MGM Grand for there daily tourny and sitting at the 2-4 tables. I will only be bringing a 500 dollar bankroll because I am going with my Dad and im sure that he will be helping the gambling itch. I will be sure to keep you guys posted on my Vegas results!

A break from Internet Poker

Last week monday I went online to check my bankstatement only to find that it was -700.00! I was flabergasted and didn't know what could have happened. After a closer look it turns out that I fell victom to a online hacker who got a hold of my neteller info and tried to clean me out. The hacker over the course of three days tried to steal $2,450.00. Due to this event I'm taking a break from internet poker so that things can get settled. I have to say that I was very happy with the way neteller reacted to my phone call. They have a team which investigates things like this and they are working to try and bust the hacker who stole my money. I will be turning 21 soon so I will be able to play poker in the live casino that is just minutes from my house so things could be worse poker wise, but unless I have a good run in Vegas it looks like I will be unable to qualify online for the WSOP this year (which was my goal). I will be sure to write about my tales from the real felt but internet poker is getting a nice break.
