This was in the Full Contact Poker newsletter, i wanted to share it with you guys, enjoy. According to this, I AM playing too much poker.

Poker Extravaganza Week, Oct 6th to Oct 15th

I was thinking of what to do for this vacation. I was planning to travel to Chile visit my bro or go to Europe but my current situation doesn’t allow me to go anywhere outside Canada. So I came up with the best holyday idea – POKER EXTRAVAGANZA WEEK.

What is poker extravaganza week? I will be taking my vacation from Oct 6th to Oct 15th, in those 10 days all I will be doing is play poker but not online, I will go back to play real games. For these 10 days I will go to Casino Niagara, Fallsview casino and an underground spot here in Toronto. In those days I will go to any games I can hear about and if I do well enough, I will fly to the some casinos in Alberta and visit some of my friends. Also, if my game is tight I will try some of the satellite tournaments they have in Casino Niagara for the WPT Canadian Open.

I am getting ready for Poker Extravaganza week doing the following:
1. Bankroll: I will shorten my bankroll for that week to JUST $1,000. I play better with a small bankroll, I don’t bluff that much J

2. Preparation: I am going to finish 2 books I have been reading:
Killer Poker
Hold’em Poker for Advanced Player

3. Practice: I WILL NOT play poker from now till OCT 6th, I want my head to be fresh to play for 10 days straight so all I will be doing in the meanwhile is practice. I will practice on free-rolls, play money games and simulating hard situations I encountered before using Hold’em Calculatem.

So people be ready to the best 10 posts you are ever goping to read about poker. They will be full of games, excitement, girls (I love girls that play poker at casinos), lust and bluffs.
