Wee Poker

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.

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!

Rollercoaster of Emotions!

As most of you know, Ashley had to have a growth removed from near her ear, just below the hairline. Of the 4 things the doctor told it could be, one of them was melanoma, and that was a little scary. They had to send it out for a biopsy, and I had to wait 4 days for the results.
While waiting, I found it very hard to concentrate. I went golfing and shot 100. I can't remember the last time I was in triple digits. I tried to play a couple tourneys, but made stupid mistakes, because I would let my mind wander. I was however, still able to make a few hundred playing PLO.
I woke up this morning, after just a few hours of sleep, very nervous about finding out the results. Wondering when they would call, figuring I would have to worry all day, but at 8:30am the phone rang, and I got the results. IT'S BENIGN!!! It's some sort of rare hairline cyst.
I'm pretty sure I aged a year in the last 4 days.

Thank You God,

Same Same

Not a whole lot to report on the poker front. I haven't played a whole lot as of lately. Basically took a week off from poker. I did win the Thursday game again last night though.

Played another round of golf. I went out on Tuesday, and shot an 89. Pretty consistent round. Only 1 double bogey.

Pretty much spent the week playing Army of Two on Xbox360. It's a fun game. The first time through its pretty easy, but once you get to professional level, it gets pretty hard.

Also got a Wii last night. The shooter games are gonna be wicked cool on Wii. I got The Legend of Zelda free with it. I've never played Zelda before, but I here it is a cool game, so I'll let ya know once I play.

Ashley, my youngin, comes out on the 23 of June till the 28th of August, so I'm pretty pumped for her arrival. She will be turning 14 this summer, and my days as the hip cool dad are limited. I can see the "I'd rather be with my friends" stage coming out already. I normally get her for the whole summer, but told her to stay home for the first month and spend some time with her friends this year. On a bright note, once she turns 14 I don't have to pay an extra $150 minor fee every time she flys out.
