Not much happened today. I went to the Venetian to play their 1K deep stack event (instead of the WSOP 5K pot limit event, which is supposedly harder than average. Other than two or three hands (and one hand I didn't actually play which I will break down later*), though, it was pretty uneventful, and I busted when AA ran into a fellow 2+2er's KK a few hours in. I also lost a couple of key flips in a very, very soft $535 SNG back at the Rio. I've got more hope for tomorrow's $1500 NL event (and, on the off chance I don't make it to day 2, Sunday's online lineup.)

*Sneak peek: TAG raises in EP and a very good, hand reading LAG calls in LP. The action on the A[h] A[s] 8[s] flop goes "bet, small raise, small 3 bet, minimum 4 bet", the latter getting the TAG's QQ to fold face up. The button then shows 6[d] 3[d] . Honestly, the best Yeti theorem play I've ever seen.
