GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO - JUL 12 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

The poker competition LV this time started of pretty good.

Getting the 4th place at the other High Roller competition…

Since I didn’t get the 1st place, I concluded on the many areas that I needed to reflect on so that I can use them on my next match.
On the other hand, the guitarist TAKUMI, who came together with me, his performance was unexpectedly bad that I could only sigh.

Poker is actually something that will affect your mental state greatly during the competition, it’s very relevent.
That’s why,
in order not to be mentally affected,
those who focus on only the probabilities, should be many too.

Today, as a warm up, I decided to take part in the WSOP’s main event Mega satellite.

Satellite event, is simply,
a qualifier round before the main event, if I win here I’ll be able to win the entry fee for the main event.

In fact, how will those who participate in the main event play their cards will be a great reference for me…
This is what I think, that’s why I decided to join.
But in the end it didn’t help me much.
Well, it’s only my own point of view…

In order to be able to win in all the satellite event…
but if I only receive these informations and no actual experiences from the main event,
it’s hard to imagine what the result will be like,
in words, it’s also hard to understand.

Also, the speed of the satellite is very fast. If I got used to this speed, I think the main event will feel very slow.

In conclusion, although I regretted participating in the satellite,
since I’ve already decided to join I should stay till the end.
In the end, after passing the satellite it’s already 4 in the morning,
after that, after completing all the other necessary procedure, it’s already past 5:30 AM.

I’m beat,
there’s still the main event the next day, I don’t have much time to sleep.

To be honest, I wonder how will the competition end when my sleepiness is at the max?

Because this is the first time, so I’m still enjoying it very much.
Anyway,
I’ll sleep for a while.

Alright, see you tomorrow.
Good night.
