Just Like Riding a Bicycle?

I haven't posted in awhile.  Been busy with the end of the semester, and then busy not doing much of anything that was bloggable.  I did recently see Pixar's Up! and would highly recommend it.  Just be sure to bring the tissues.

I leave for Vegas to play in WSOP event #31 ($1500 HORSE) in a little more than a week.  It's hopefully gonna be a great trip, and I'm really starting to get excited for it except...I haven't played live NLHE in almost two months* and I'm a bit worried about my game not being up to par.  I'll actually probably play Omaha8 more than anything else while out there, but I really want to get some live action under my belt again.

A few nights ago, I was saying something to this effect and it brought up the topic: if you've been out of the saddle, do you think you need a warm up or are you cool with just showing up.  Playing my A+ game takes a lot of mental warm up, so for me, I need to get out there again sooner rather than later...  But I'm interested to hear what other people have to say.

*Assuming you don't count the three hands I played at the last game ever of the SHOP.  Third hand, I flop a set of 9's against an obvious overpair on a QJ9 board.  T on the river after all money goes in on the flop.  Ugh.
