Had a recovery day today as although I wasn’t feeling particularly down after the HU loss in the 1st rd of the $1500 LHE shootout (natural swings don’t really affect me anymore) I was physically exhausted.  My plan to be in better shape for this year’s WSOP didn’t come to fruition and even my “light” schedule is taxing.  At least I can rest assured in the knowledge that my current health decline cannot continue unabated or next year I’m more likely to be in a body bag than attending the series in any capacity.

So in the spirit of healthy(-er) eating, tonight was spent at shibuya – a restaurant everyone attending vegas should visit (if u really can’t stand sushi book the grill).  Feeling rested and good.  Tomorrow will probably be spent playing a limited sunday schedule while I try to decide whether to play the $1500 NL as planned on monday or the $2500 limit triple draw.

Everyone tells me how soft the $1500 NLs are, and I kinda want to get in on the value.  The flip side of that is that NL is extremely boring as a tournament game and locking myself into 3 solid days of it before the ME is almost begging for burnout.  Deuce will be FUN.  However my experience is limited.  I’m probably +ev by some way, and I will almost certainly destroy the early stages against weak competition.  But I may be overestimating my edge against more skilled opposition – especially shorthanded.  Late in a tournament is when most of the equity is decided so if you don’t handle that part well you’re burning money.  I’m completely torn on what to play.
