Starting to play more now.....$744

It seems that I have switched up my game again and now and sucking bad at SNG's and letting the ring games bail me out. I am going to start playing a bit more Omaha8 and Stud8 just to switch up everything as hold 'em is getting really old.
I went on a poker cruise the other day and had a blast. As soon as I figure out how to post pics on here, I will throw a few down. I ended up taking TJ Clouiter out on day one and got a $1000 bounty for that (My 10/10 held up to his AQs--all in preflop), then got frickin creamed by Bernard Lee on day 2. I was in the BB with about 125k in chips (don't remember the exact amount) and had 3 limpers in EP/MP. Bernard was in the SB and min-raised to 10k....????? I didn't know what to make of this play at the time, although immediatle yafterwards and to everyone reading it is somewhat obvious right? SO I look down to see A10os and simply call (bad, bad, bad). We lost all the limpers except one...flop came down 2 8 J true rainbow. Bernard and I both check, nad the limp-caller sets out 18k and that has me really confused then...pot is 40k and he bets less than half when he just limp-called!? Well Bernard immediately jammed for ovre 200k, and I have to insta muck. Well limp caller also mucked and Bernard flipped over what?.......AA......nope! He turned over the all powerful 46s. He was playing the hand from the beginning with full intentions of stealing. Freaking world class play! The limp caller told me later that he had 99.

Ok, enough of that tourney..I just thought it was an interesting hand. I ended up breaking even on the cruise with all the cash games that were going on. I never played in the big games with the pros, but I did throw down with some 3/6 plO8 which was a blast. Total soft field and I took down a bunch of questionable pots. So I know that this cruise and the buy-in was way too much for my bankroll, but I had used some savings from a previous business venture to book this one, so it isn't cheating....right?

ps. By the way, I forgot to write down that I sold my share of Deuces POker Room before i even owned it for one day. The car dealership next door offered up 3 times what it is worth (they just want the land) so we sold that day. I ended up making 5k on the deal after taxes and all and that is what I used to buy-in to my cruise. When I told one of my friends it was 5k, they freaked, but it isn't as bad as you think.

Vacations over now, time to concentrate $611

Bad month for sit n go's but my cash games bailed me out and then some.

Still playing a little $551.00

Still only playing at infrequent intervals, but still having some good play. I am actually doing better at ring games than I have been in the past, which is odd, but hey, I'll take it. So here are the numbers:

$164.50 Buy-ins
$224 Winnings
--------------------
$59.50 Profit

Monthly update $492.50

So I got into some troublew at work about playing cards and surfing the net, so I am going to be very limited to when I can and can't play from now on. I will only be updating once a month from now on as well. Here are the results:

SNG's: Ring Games:
$188 buy-ins 7 hours total at 0.25/0.50 PL/NL hold em
$199 winnings $197 total profit
-----------------
$11 profit

Monthly total winnings: $208

Long time, but somewhat productive $284.50

I have been a little bit busy lately with a business venture that I have wanted to be involved with for a very long time. On september 1st I will be a partner in Deuces Poker Room, which is a local bar that has a total poker atmosphere. I am very excited with this and will continue to post updates and hopefully some pics.

Since last time, I have only played in 10 sng's:

Buy-Ins: $82.50
Winnings: $131.50
---------------------
Profit: $49.00

Lots of down time

My niece turned one so I flew into illinois to see her, and then when I got back I found out my ex had gotten into my house and took a bunch of stuff. On top of that, my job is downsizing and I am on a list of potential lay-offs. Joy!

So needless to say, poker has not been on my list of things to do, so I will start to try and make more of an effort to play again as soon as I feel up to it.
