Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica

I wake up out of bed yawn and stretch my arms. I get up wipe my eyes walk around 10ft and open the door outside. It is the waves crashing into the beach. The sun is just barely up and it perfectly reflects against the ocean water. I look to my left and right and see mountains in the background. On my bottom left I see a natural beach with rocks. I set take a deep breath of the air close my eyes and realize I am in paradise. To some it is a dream but for me it is a reality.

I was fortunate enough to finally go visit assassinato. Words cannot explain how thankful I am for the trip. It was a perfect relaxing trip and it was much needed. I mean some people probably expect a wild trip report but it wasn't even all like that. I pretty much and just chilled out all day every day. Yeah I walked around the beach and the beach towns but I was chilling super hard. I went out there with my boy O so we had a good time. The maid/cook named Anna made us some great meals too. She would always ask what we want to eat what type of juice and everything. The meals were incredible. Especially with the fresh squeezed fruit juice it felt like I was eating the fruit when drinking the juice. I was truly spoiled though and hated the fact that I have to go back and cook/clean myself :-(.

I got my grind on a little but for the most part this was a learning experience. I was able to watch Raventhon and Bukithepro play some. Buki is a real good guy. An older cat and he schooled up on some things. He has been playing for a little bit and his thought processes going through each hand is amazing. Raventhon is also crazy good with knowing that math behind a lot of situations. He is also good at knowing who is doing what with what stacks. As for Assassinato he is a straight up I don't give a shit beast on the tables. Watching him run deep in his score I was thinking damn I would break my mouse playing against you. He has incredible heart and excellent feel about what he is going on. He def is not afraid to gamble at all. xnumchuck plays some sng's and mtt's too. He was going deep in one of the stars rebuy tournies before flaming out. This crew is dangerous and you should hear about these guys soon. I was really impressed and saw that I have a long ways to go in my MTT game.

It was especially fun to watch assassinato go deep in 750k on Tilt and finish up 3rd for like $50k ish. I mean you see the stuff behind your computer but you never see the person behind the computer. The whole atmosphere was weird because it had every feel imaginable. He was playing viro the virus and just in the zone ready to kill. He wanted first so bad but it wasn't meant to be. I mean 3rd is cool but I know him and he wants to win. I know he thinks like Ricky Bobby if you not first your last but he will take the cheese.

I played about 15 MTT's on Sunday. I lost money but boy was it a fun and learning time. I would of gone deeper in the 22 cubed if my AJs does chop for an enormous pot against AT aipf. I was around 9th that time and around 100 people I think. Oh well that's tournament poker though. I definitely was lost in some spots but it's just like sngs I was unfamiliar with the spots. So for now my plan is to grind mtt's during the week and play mtt's on Sunday. The more comfortable I get the more I might be inclined to play mtt's more.

I will post some pics later but for now this is it.
