Getting ready for non stop poker action!!!

For the last week or so since my schedule dosent allow me to play, I've been doing some reading and mentally preparing myself for a week of non stop poker action coming up when I leave for vegas. At first all I could find was hellmuth "play poker like a pro" but after some long searches I finally found skalansky small stakes holdem in my garage last week. I've read it through once last week and right now I've been concentrating a lot on per flop plays and flop plays. I know my biggest problem right now is my preflop play. I've got the "SAG" blood in me so a lot of cards looks good to me to play. But right now I'm really starting to understand proper cards and position of what to play. In vegas I got to step up my game. Even though I'm planning to play either 6/12 or 10/20 hold em mainly or 8/16 if they have it, I don't want to be the fish on the table. At the creek I'm usually the tag of the table unless the santi or Tony is at my table then they usually a lot more aggressive than me for some reason. But now I'm entering vegas when its the wsop happening and there's gonna be a lot of players there. And the worst thing that I want is to be painted the fish at the table when I want to be the shark.

Well hopefully all my reading isn't for nothing. I plan to play either sat night or sun before I leave for my poker extravaganza.

So hopefully I learned from my reading and imporove on 3 of my greatest weakness.
-selecting proper playing cards to play
-know my position and not limp in with crap cards.
-Raise or fold should be my main options preflop.
