Robusto or Busto mission to the WSOP

Back when I was playing mid-stakes PLO two years ago, I went to the WSOP to play a PLO event. I didn't do well there, but I made money over all at the cash games. A few months later, I began a vicious downswing that to this day I never recovered from. I lost about $20k playing 2-4 to 3-6 PLO and HORSE SNG's on Full Tilt. I skipped the WSOP last year because I was emotionally devastated and I was playing 2-4 Limit and 50 NL.

I'm tired of this. I'm starting to hate online poker (although I still like B&M). I have been roughly break even for the last 4-5 months, but after a $800 downswing the last couple days, I've had it. I'm taking 3k, which is what's left of my roll and I'm getting on a plane for Vegas tomorrow. I play a lot of mixed games so I'll try to play satellites for the HORSE event tomorrow and 2-5 PLO, but if I blow thorough this last 3k, I'm through with online poker. Wish me luck.

at least if you lose you'll have a great story/memory, better than wasting your time trying to grind it out online when you know you'll eventually tilt it off anyway.
