At least there weren't too many annoying law changes to worry about this year. I will probably only play sporadically until...say...April 16th or so. :) In other life news, my girlfriend has officially moved in with me, and damn my place is a mess now. Between sorting through stuff and work, I'll barely have time for anything else. Here's hopin...

She blurts out "Let's go to AC!" So we did. We went to the Showboat since they have free parking and I know they have Saturday tournaments at 7 PM. I wanted to give it a shot, so I paid the $125 buy-in and went to work. 91 signed up and they paid the top 9. Started with 15,000 in ...

This helped: http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=12152007125108lh6.png Also, Sunday Million ahoy!: http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=12202007114117it8.png I could unregister and use the $215 elsewhere, but I figure I'll ride my hot streak and see if I can make a nice cash on Sunday. ...

Oh well, at least this one is positive. I've been running pretty good over the last month or so. After I lost the $500 I deposited for the bonus, I went for another $500 and decided to play NL200, since that's where I've had my success in the past. I ran that $500 up to $1,600 (and also finally earned my deposit bonus) and cashed out the winnings to pay for Christma...

Oh well. Played in that live tourney, made a royal flush on the first hand, and never won another hand after that, finishing in 36th out of 38 players. Played in two side games while the main game finished, and didn't cash in either one, the last I busted out with top set against a flopped straight. It was not my day. As fo...

I played a few $5 multi-table SNG's and won one, so I'm up to $150. I think I'll focus on playing these and try not to tilt as much as I was before. Also, a buddy of mine at work got me into a live multi-table game this coming weekend. $100 buy-in, $5K chips to star...

I have some 6,000 FPP, so I'll probably use those in some satellites or something, but not right now. I'm going on vacation for the 4th of July and I just need to get away from this frustrating game for a while. I know I played at stakes too high for my bankroll, and I played pretty bad more often...

So I decided to play one of the one-table satellites to the 150-WSOP seat guaranteed tourney, and... http://img485.imageshack.us/my.php?image=06122007231321nl7.png Ship it!

I won the first hand I played today with 52 when I flopped two pair. After that, not one big hand held up, or I ran into a monster. AK v. AQ, lost to inside straight on the turn. AJ v. A4, he called me all the way to the river with a missed flush draw and bottom pair. QJ v. J4, he flops two pair, I flop top pair, I naturally pay him off. 99 v. QQ, I have a flush d...

Busted out in 2072th after not seeing a god damn pair or ace for a good 45 minutes. Ended up pushing Q9o in first position with 6 BB's left and was called by AJ. Good night. Oh well, it was free, what can I say.

I've been lurking here at Liquidpoker for some time now and decided to create a blog to help myself keep better track of how my poker is going, vent about bad beats, and discuss anything else that comes to mind. I only play at Pokerstars at the moment, but I'm always open to trying other sites if the mood strikes. I've been playing online for about 1 1/2 years. I lost quite a...
