Hey guys. Writing from Cabo, Mexico. I have been here since Friday so almost no poker from me lately. I did play once while I have been here for the TLB HU freeroll. And I won! It was quite a tease though. After winning a box popped up and said $1,000 was credited to my account, since it was a $1K freeroll, but then they took it away from me:(. I guess its not a freeroll for me but I just play to try and save the company $1,000 
I have been chilling out by the pool all week since apparently the ocean outside of the resort is too dangerous with the undertow and massive waves. Those waves sure look like fun though. The highlight of the trip has definitely been swimming with the dolphins. I have always wanted to, but just never got around to it. It is a little pricy but way worth it. Dolphins have got to be the coolest animals on planet. They are super smart and have a dog-like love for humans. I just have a couple more days here which I will probably spend about 30 minutes from here on some beaches that are safer. Kind of a pain to have to drive to get to the beach when I am staying on a beach resort but i guess its not too big of a deal. Later guys, I am off to a sunset beach walk with Kim

Hey guys, this is actually my first blog ever so I am a bit of a noob, but I will try my best. My life has been pretty uneventful since the world series so I will mostly talk about plans I have in the next couple of months.
The one exciting thing that has been going on lately is my search for a new house in Las Vegas. I moved out here last year just before the world series started. I was in a hurry to get in a place before the events started so I rushed my decision and wasn’t picky enough. I made two big mistakes in my selection. The first was no island in the kitchen. The second and biggest mistake was not getting a home with a pool. It is just way too hot here not to have a pool. I think about how bad it sucks basically everyday and have begun to loathe the house I have now. Anyways I am looking to build a new home so that is pretty exciting.
My days of sitting around the house I have enjoyed the past month are about to come to an end. I am going to be out of town a ton in the next two months. I am heading home to new orleans to visit family on wednesday and will be staying until monday. I will get home, have to do some laundry and then pack right back up to head to Cabo in Mexico on Friday. My girlfriend will be there for an entire week. I cant wait to soak up some sun and get the tan back that I lost sitting in the Rio all summer. I realy wish the WSOP was in the winter. I know it is impractical and will never happen but I can dream! I get back on Friday around 4PM Vegas time and have to hop on a plane at 7 to go to Chicago for my first session as WSOP Academy instructor. I don’t have any teaching experience, but I think I will catch on quick and will definitely have a ton of poker knowledge to contribute to the camp.
Last but not least, I will be heading to Aruba after that. I cannot wait to get there. It has always been my favorite place to travel for poker. I imagine it will be even more of a blast as my first trip there as a sponsored UB pro. I trust Poker Ho and the guys to get me into plenty of trouble. Jump in those satellites everyone and come on the trip with us. You won’t be disappointed!
