BEST DAY EVER!!!!

I really don't have a whole lot to say, but yesterday was my best MTT day ever, so I had to write something. The train is not only still rolling, it seems to be picking up speed.
Last night in the Big Doubles, I went deep in both of them, A and B. In the B, I had to do a little grinding, as I took a bad beat, for most of my stack, about half way through the tourney. After two doubles with AA and KK I was back in it as we hit the money. At 1 point I was 3 of 15, so I just played super tight knowing I could make the FT, and that I had the chance to do it in both tourneys.
In the A, I started out good right off, and had the chip lead with around 100 people left, and I never dropped out of the top 9. With 16 left, I was sitting in 3rd, and just started folding, because I had already made the Ft in B, and both FT's is worth more than a win. With 10 left, I dropped to 9th place, and only had 15 more chips then 10th place. That scared me for a hot minute, but the very next hand, the guy in 8th place got knocked out, and we hit the FT.
I finished A in 6th place for $668, I finished B in 7th place for $452, I cashed both for $255, I had the best double finish for $511, and I final tabled both for $5110. In total I made $6996, which tops my old record of $6900!

Well, my train just keeps rollin!! I Put $1.4k on Full tilt on the 20th, and as of yesterday it is already up to $5.5k! I had one nice MTT cash for $3k, and won another $1.1k playing $15/30 limit!
The MTT was a 6max $69+6 $14k guaranteed. With 8 to go I took the CL and held it right down till we were 3 handed, at that point I had more chips then both the others combined. I then proceeded to double both of them up. Both flips, 1 ahead, 1 behind, GG ME.

Also showed profit on AP this week, not sure exactly how much, but about $2k. All playing limit.

Went and saw Kung Fu Panda with the youngin today. It was a good movie, but nothing to special.

1000 Words?

Just had to take a picture before I cashed it out..

Balla Status?

Now that I have a roll again, I've been playing in the bigger games, and reaping the rewards. I'm absolutely crushing $15/30 limit. It's just sick. I have to look like a superuser. I know that I'm just on a sick run, because while I consider myself to be a good limit player, I don't consider myself a great one. I even sat at $50/100 for an hour and won 11 BB.

Over the past month, my poker BR has exploded. I'm up 10k from limit alone, plus another 3k from PLO.

So, an all-inclusive Cancun golf retreat is in the works. My best bud and I are going for 7 nights in early September. I am so pumped. I can't wait to kick his ass on the golf course. The Palace hotels down there have a great deal where you can use all the facilities in all 8 of their hotels. Free booze in 30 bars, plus on the golf courses. Only $200 a night. I can't wait.....Balla?


Other than that, same old same old. Someone new moved in down the street, and they have a 4 kids, one of which is a 15 year old girl. So, now my daughter has a new best friend, and doesn't seem to have time for dad anymore. LOL

In the end the grind pays off,

Vacation is Over!

Well, my mom flew back to Mn today. It was a pretty good week. We did lots of sight seeing, and I spent hours walking around craft fairs and stuff like that, because my mom is into that stuff! My step dad won a few hundred at the casino playing roulette, so he was happy. My mom, as usual, sat at the bar and played her $.25 poker with little success. Spent a day out on the Atlantic whale watching, but never saw a single one. We did get free passed to return whenever we want, so that's nice. After about 30 minutes at sea, my aunt got seasick, and spent the rest of the 4 hour trip yacking off the back of the boat!
Didn't have much time for poker this week, so nothing to report there. I did, however go on a huge blackjack tear! My BR went from 5k to 13k over the last week, so I'm well on my way to getting back into the bigger tourneys. I figure anything $100 and under is fair game now. I may even throw in the AP 75k once or twice a month.
I still have my daughter for 6 more weeks, so I'm not sure how much I'll play.

Good Luck

It's Been Too Long!

I haven't played a tourney, or a SnG in ages! I think I may need to spend some time playing Holdem, just so I don't get too rusty! I've been basically playing nothing but PLO! I'm mostly still playing $50 max even though I have around $5k online, and I could probably move up! The games are so soft at the $50 max it's sick! I may have to move up to $100 max, just to keep my platinum status on AP. LOLOL

My mom is coming on the 5th for a week, so next week I don't think I'll have much time for poker at all! Going to Martha's Vineyard, the 1 thing my mom really wanted to do. Yippie! Other than that, I think we are going to hit 6 Flags, and a night in Manhattan!

I went golfing yesterday, and shot a personal best 78. I can't even believe how well I'm hitting the ball. I hit the GIR on 14 of the 18 holes. Too bad my putter failed me!

My daughter is here for the summer, and we go to the movies at least once a week! Don't Mess With The Zohan is fricking hilarious.

Pull down your pants, and slide on the ice!
