What a difference a day makes.

Wash rinse repeat.

It's nice when you throw something out to the cosmos and fate decides to shine on you if only for a few minutes.

Needless to say I was able to get my poker fix yesterday and I had a good one..

I started out small in the 3+.30 MTT just so I could see some cards and donk it up a bit... 2 hours later I made a small cash in that donkfest YAY.

I followed that up with a couple of tokens and a nice little cash game cash. Last night I decided to give the nightly 50/50 a shot as well as the $75 token frenzy. I played fast and loose at one and rocky at the other. I managed to spew chips in the frenzy then double a few times. Unfortunately I stayed pretty wild and failed to get a token.

The 50/50 was a war of attrition. I managed to get quads fairly early and coast through the second hour getting NO cards to play. Near the bubble I had to take a stand with KT and hit the flop. I doubled up again with the JACKACE vs AK. I committed myself preflop and hit the Jack on the turn.

Other than those 2 hands I was playing tighter than a frogs ass and limped into 61st place, committing myself with ATh vs KK. GONDO, but it felt pretty good to run deep in a 1000+ tournament without the benefit of the deck hitting me in the face. I ended the tournament playing 11% eek!

I also managed to take down a 33+3 sng while the 50/50 was going on. weee hoo!

Can anyone tell me who rags007 is and why he has a personalized Avatar but is not a FT pro? I took him out first in the sng with a straight flush draw that hit the flush. Interesting.

In a rut.

It is my semi-monthly poker rut. I have had nothing but horrible results for the last 3 months and feel nowhere near a turn around. The online game has been so very humbling for me, I have repeatedly kicked ass live only to give it all away online. I have no idea why, but my junk is getting kicked left and right and I'm just coming right back to take some more.

It should be no surprise to anyone I am busto again online, waiting for epassporte to replenish my coffer. I just wonder why I keep doing it....bleeding like a stuck donkey.

Sometimes I wish some of you guys weren't so much fun to play with, maybe without the bloggers, I'd have been done awhile ago.

So, if anyone wants to slide some virtual chippies my way until Friday or trade for paypal, then great, cause I'd really like to play the mook and get myself legitimately in the top 50 for the BBT.

I really hate to be a bummer, but my spirits are pretty low right now and it nags at me that I can't pull myself from the funk.

I'm dying from mongoloan death flu!

Its almost been a month that I have left you all in the dark...waiting with baited breath..


But seriously, sorry I've been lacking in my blog duties of late. I have been traveling more, playing poker less and have been sick for 3 weeks now. The Dr. thinks I have MONO, yay.

I'm heading out to Vacation tomorrow which is well overdue, and am still REALLY looking forward to Okie Vegas in a few weeks.

I wish I had more to report, but it seems fairly dated and boring, so I'll just try to get better and come back next week more rejuvenated.

You guys be careful out there.
