Like, 8 days

My plane takes off at 8pm, week from tomorrow.... arrives in Vega$ at 9pm, Nevada time... I like to pretend it is time traveling...

I accidently joined a (.10 + .01) turbo SNG on Doyles the other day, and actually won it.. .35 cents richer there..( meant to join a regular SNG ) but, how did I get the .11 cents to play in the first place.. since we all know I have no money on any site, pretty much... let me tell ya..

...I accidently joined a $5.00 TURBO FREEROLL MTT on Doyles, and took like 8th or 9th outta 199 entrants to cash .35 cents. The turbos they have, the blinds go up every minute or every three hands.. I really couldn't tell.. I played tight til I finally got a hand with 3/4 my original stack.. all in with 4 or so callers, I took the nice pot.. waited.. rinse.. repeat..

I really haven't played much poker worth blogging about.. lately.. seems like ever since I made the decision to make the Vegas trip, all my money is put aside.. for the trip... which is fine.. but this aspect makes me wish it was past the trip, so I can start building my bankroll again.. or at least, see if I want to get serious about it again... I am after all, having a perfectly good time playing with free money... and/or play money.... right now I have:

Empire - 7 bucks
PokerTime - 7 bucks
Doyles - .58 cents
Party Poker - .06 cents
UB - .03 cents
Pacific - .07 cents

I might have a few cents on PokerRoom as well...

Not sure which site I will attempt my rebuild at.. most likely, Full Tilt and Titan, since I have not really played at eithre of those sites.. and I hear and read positive things about both...

Steph is still in the Survivor game...
Prison Break is still a damn good show, and last night was the season finale.

Oh, I have a question... I am pretty sure drinks in Vegas are free if your gambling.. does this include gambling at the poker tables, and does water/coffee/coffee with Baileys count as a 'drink'?

Badugi is fun which reminds me.. I might put a bit of money in at Doyles to take advantage of the folks that play it without fully understanding the game, could easily make a few bucks there...

Got a live tourney coming up this friday.. and all I have to do is not go out first, to improve from how I did the last time.. :)

peace and happy holidays

Happy Turkey Day

I managed to make it into the Doyle's Room Thanksgiving $5000 thank you freeroll. Early this morning, I logged in to check out when the registration started.. and low and behold, it had already started.. there were 998 people and once I clicked the right buttons, I became number 999. Apparently, I made it in by the hair of my chinny chin chin...... only 999 entrants for this one... yay me..

27 places pay, with top prize being...$1350. 19th thru 27th get $50. Starts at 8pm CST tonight

I played in an Empire $500 freeroll, turbo type... yesterday.. cashed in 180th(bubble was 181) place for .40 cents....

Played in a $1.00 MTT, 117 people, I finished ITM for $1.30. Now, these results are no where near as good as CJ's, but, for me, they are as exciting.. heh...

Got the $10 free money from PokerTime up to $20.00. Gonna play bigger stakes now... I've been playing .05/.10 ring games, 6 max.. and pretty much folding 80% of the hands.. taking down the big pots with strong hands... seems to be working.. hopefully will work for me at the .10/.20 level.

Have you been watching Prison Break, on FOX? Its a pretty good show, and I think they might actually break out next Monday.. which is the day it airs.. It is one of the few shows I make a point to watch.. network shows anyway..

I quit watching Amazing Race whence the Gahgans were eliminated, and personal stuff has kept me from seeing the last couple Survivors, but, I am pretty sure Steph is still in it... Not sure if it is on tonight.. it being Gobble Gobble day and all....

Less than 2 weeks til the Vegas trip.. and I am getting burnt out on being so excited about it.. heh... imagine that...

Peace

sigh

Won during bingo..

My friend won this as a door prize during a bingo game.. ( she didn't win any bingo money ). She is going with me to Vegas... we thought it was pretty cool, that this particular hat would be one of the door prizes.. and it was Church bingo no less. got to be some message there.. She also found me a t-shirt that has a pair of queens on the front, and it says 'ladies man'.

Peace

simple

i figured out poker... at least for me.. unfortunately, it involves alcohol, and the is always a lose situation...

i also passed out at work today and they called the first responders.. ie, employees trained in the basic EMT stuff,,, my back is in perpetual pain and i believe the pain got so unbearable, my body gave out.. i went to the doctor and he pretty much said, it is possible..

i wrote some notes on these things i figured out about poker, but, I am drunk and I cant read them, or, i was drunk when I wrote them and i cant read my writing.. or a combination of the two.

peace.
