Mercier Update from the LAPC

Today I will be playing the $1k 8 game event at LAPC. This will be my 7th event played out here, having bricked the first six I played.
I bubbled the $1,500 NL last night after playing trick cards around 11 hours. I went out in 23^rd and 18 got paid.
Sam Simon, the creator of the Simpsons, was the one who busted me. He's a really nice guy and fun to have at the table, but oh, did he get me good!! Sigh!
Anyways, I had a rough online day on Sunday too, going deep in a few tourneys. I finished 8^th in the 109 turbo, losing 2 pots for the chiplead at the final table, 6 outed on the river and 3 outed on the river... yuk.
Also got 20^th in the 109 freeze, and bubbled the 200 rebuy AK<AA.
I will probably marked card tricksonly be playing this 8 game tourney and the $1,500 Chinese poker tournament out in LA before heading to Vegas for the NAPT at the Venetian.
I will be playing the 5k main event there and also the 25k high rollers event. I'm really excited for these two events and looking forward to kicking off the NAPT season.
Later!
