pic of cute asian girl to compensate for incoming whine/wall of text:
I've spent 10 days in Macau for the season finale or whatever of the Macau Poker Cup, with the Main Event being a two day $2.6k MTT. To almost no one's surprise, I cashed a total of zero times and actually pretty much bubbled my final 3 events, including the Main Event. That adds up to a total of 17-18 hours of play in just 3 tournaments alone for absolutely no cash at all (the ME was 10 hours of play and I busted 26th, 19 get paid). Baccarat also started out decent but eventually tumbled, which puts me at roughly -6k on the trip.
Of course this may have been averted by mincashing the ME (5k for mincash), or playing live, but instead I have no idea where the days went and now I'm sitting here 20 days into December and down money, with only 7k hands logged online. Coming into the month I was pretty much only 5k away from $100k on the year and stoked about it but now I'm a bit behind with not much time left, and it feels awful.
I absolutely hate this feeling of defeat. Of knowing I gave it my utmost, excruciating effort and not getting there. Of seeing other people who don't "deserve" it continuously run good and get there (for a micro-level example of this, see any big live tournament, but this appears on the macro-level as well). It sucks and is a big part of my emotional instability with regards to this game and I really, really want to change it but it's been something I've struggled with all my life. I don't have much to complain about because things could honestly be a LOT worse but I hate knowing how good things can be too had things been a little different.
2010 is going to be a lot different. With the help of the new environment I'll be in (Taipei) and my friends I'm going to treat poker as a business, because supposedly I'm a professional and therefore I should be treating my work like a professional and not be a stupid whiny kid. I know what my issues are, and I'm going to work hard to fix them this coming year. 2010 is going to be a LOT different.
That's pretty much what I want to say for now, in a week or so I'll be giving a year-end report and hopefully I'll be over the 100k mark  .

eh, maybe, but its not as great of a place overall as vegas and i would say you stay clear of it unless you really like gambling and hookers.
and only stay there for 5 days max or youll get sick of it eventually. |
