Back in Buenos Aires
So I'm back in Argentina again.
I got back Tuesday afternoon. It was a long flight. I got to the airport in Ft. Lauderdale at around 3:30pm, and didn't arrive home until 3:00pm the following day (though, it was actually 1:00pm EST).
Atlanta had bad weather, and so I missed my flight to Buenos Aires. There is only 1 flight every day, so they tried to tell me that I would have to wait in Atlanta for 24hrs., but with lots of jumping up and down, I was able to get on a flight to Brazil and then hop a connecting flight to EZE.
It was a pain in the ass. I really dislike this whole flying-thing.
The cruise was fun however. I didn't do very well in the tournament (as expected), though I didn't do horribly. There were 530 people playing, and I finished somewhere around 210th place or so. It could have been worse.
I met a lot of people on the boat. Quite a few other professional players. I was actually surprised at the number of non-professionals that were on the ship. It really confirmed to me the fact that it is very difficult to make a living playing poker--- that it's not something that everyone can do.
My dad and I watched the filming of the final table. It was interesting (except for the game-- which, being limit hold'em, is less than breathtaking). The interesting part was seeing all the little things that go on in order to make poker into a TV program. If I was playing, I would have been very annoyed with all the breaks and camera set-up stuff (even as a spectator it was a little much), but since it was my first time seeing something like this filmed, I enjoyed it.
The weather during the trip was great. I didn't care for Ocho Rios, Jamaica at all. Georgetown, Grand Cayman, was very nice, though my father and I didn't do much except hang out on the beach.
Not much else has been going on. I need to start working again--- get back into my routine.
I'm happy to be back in Argentina.
