Whoa! I missed a whole week!
My apologies. I missed a whole week of posting to my blog. I'll admit, I really wasnt up to it after coming back from the New England Poker Classic empty handed. I really felt that the opportunity was there for me to shine.
After playing the $500 Event on Sunday, I played the $1000 + $100 Buy-In No Limit Holdem event on Monday. I didnt do half as well as I did on Sunday. About 288 players and I finished about 190 something. It just wasnt my trip. Only wins I can credit from my trip were winning satellites into ACT 3 tourneys which gave me a possibility of playing in the Main Event. I didnt Make the Main Event. However, a member of the posse that rode up with me did and he returned to play in the Main Event which is taking place this weekend.
I do apologize to those that staked me these two events. I really did want to bring home the loot. Dont give up on me yet. I guarantee you I will return very soon.
On to more info. I got back on Tuesday night and didnt get a chance to play in my Tuesday night game. Thanks to Scotty for hosting it for me.
On Wednesday, I played a Sit-and-Go and won on Full Tilt Poker. Nothing like a good confidence booster.
On Sunday, Today, Bumper is running a $250 + $20 Buy-In Holdem Event and he had single table satellites running on Thursday night. I played in 2 of them but didnt win my seat. Close but no cigar.
On Friday night, I decided to play the weekely Bustout Bonanza on Full Tilt Poker. The Bounty this week was on Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. FOr those of you not aware what the Bustout Bonanza is, its a $50 buy-in event where all the pros have the usual bounty on there heads equal to the buy-in ($50 each in this event). However, one pro is designated as the bonus bounty and it was Mike this week.
Well, I started this event off real well and had a good feeling about it. Started with Erick Lindgren on my direct right and saw him bustout eventually. After some serious card playing, I finished in 30th Place. The top 36 finishers got paid. So, I'm feeling good about that.
On Saturday, I played the $50,000 Guarante Event on Full Tilt Poker. Once again, they did not meet the number of players needed to cover the $50,000. So, there was a huge overlay with only 362 players registered. Its like getting free money almost. Top 54 get paid. Well, I catch the B*tches, I mean the Queens and I get the perfect flop. I meant the flop texture is perfect for this hand and I have one guy on my tail. Long Story short, we get to the Turn and he puts me all-in and then spikes and A on the river to send me to the rail early. What a suckout! Oh well. So much for that.
Wanting some action bad after the bustout, I jumped in the RGP Home Game on PokerStars. I havent played an RGP Challenge in a few weeks. So, this gave me an opportunity to try and get some points and catch up. WRONG!!! Got caught up in a bad hand and was out in 20th something place out of 28 players. I'll post the hand in a bit so you can see how it went down.
Well, I decided I would just hit the bed early after watching some poker on TV. Look at me now. Up at 4:30 on Sunday Morning.
Today, My plans are to either play in Bumpers $250 Tourney or play in the $100,000 guarantee on BoDog this afternoon or take my son to his end of season party for his Basketball team at Jillians. You tell me which one you think I'll be doing.
