Aggression

Got to find a balance between aggression and uber aggression.

Next Trip to Vegas

Starting to plan my next trip to Vegas. Probably April or May. Highly dependent on whether my job is secure or not. The next few weeks will tell.

Great Weekend

Final tabled twice this weekend. 3rd in a turbo with 400 and 4th/900 in a 6 player table.

Vegas Trip - November

I was in Vegas. yea and had a lot of fun. Played in 3 tournaments and sponsored my son in 2. Played well but no cashes. Son bubbled out in one.




Treasure Island 17/45 My Son 7/45

Nice tournament with good structure. started out with 3000 chips. Great fun for a $65.oo tourney. No cards at end.

Binions 16/45 10:00 16/45

Not a bad tournament.Got knocked out with my A10 vs J10 when a J spiked the river.

Planet Hollywood 60 23/70

Played the Grinder tourney with Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi who had a 300 bounty.

This was the best tourney. Started out with 4 K in chips. Was in outstanding position when in 3 hands the poker gods were unkind. 99 vs q9 and a q spikes the river. AK vs q9 suited when yes a flush hits the river and guess what. I was out. Both the players I doubled up made it to the final table.

But I got lucky early on when my qq busted a kk so i guess I can't complain.

The SC Beach

Here it is the last week in September and I'm laying out on the beach. The weather is hot, the Ocean is warm and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

I've taken a break from Poker as my game was getting very bad in critical spots. I just have not been laying down hands like I should when I know I'm beat but my right hand does not obey my brain and the chios are flung into the middle and before I know it I'm out,

I firmly believe that a break will help my game and I'm excited about doing well. I know I can as I have won in the past and I can win again. I'm going to stop playing turbo's as the play affects others games as they are ot played the same. I will play more SNG or small multiple tables.

By the way, I just finished reading "Positively Fifth Street" by James McManus a great book about murder, poker and the World Series of Poker. Great book to read on the beach with a beer in your hand.

Wow, I haven't posted in forever.

Wow. I have not posted in forever. I've been on such a bad run lagtely, bad cards bad playing, that I just haven't felt like posting anything. Yesterday I won a 45 qualifier which puts me into a second qualifier that if I end up in the top 2% i can play in the full tilt 1,000,000 touney tomorrow. A long shot,but possible. Let you know how it goes later.

Poker Oddities

I never get too upset at cards and the way the strangely fall sometimes. For example; the other night in the nightly 24k my nut flush was toppled by a runner runner straight flush and I was out instead of being in the top 10.

The very following night in a $5 turbo sng I knocked someone out with a runner runner straight flush against his nut flush. And both nights they were in spades albeit not the same cards. LOL

Is it the randomness of cards that are sometimes are actual cyclical or it the random generator of computers. Who knows.
