I'm still alive...

Just not playing poker that much. And when I am, I am moving sideways, so there is nothing special to talk about.

When I win an MTT, which should be soon, I will make a post. Until then, My posting will be not as frequent as it has been over the last 2 months.

Thanks for reading.

POST 100!!! Roller-coaster session

Feeling very confident as I logged onto FT last night, pulled up 6 deep tables at 25c/50c NL, and off I went. No more than 10 minutes into my session, I had an unfortunate situation blind vs. blind, where we got it all in on an all-unders flop, I had KK in the BB and he had AA obviously in the SB. How gay is that. $50 gone really fast. I was down about 1 ½ buy-ins when the following hand came up…

So, in the end, I was down 3 buy-ins and ended up 1 ½. A nice turn around that has me back over the $1,000 mark for my roll, $715 on FT and $320 on Stars, for a total of $1,035.

Won’t be playing much in the next couple of days, but will be trying to satellite into a couple of the FTOPS events. If I qualify, I am actually going to play them this time.

Hope everyone is well, and thanks for reading.

Update…

Sorry, been a few days since I updated the blog. A quick summary of the last week, well, things have been looking up on Full Tilt and down on Pokerstars. Mostly because I have been playing satellites into the Million on Stars, and some steps qualifiers and not getting anywhere. I am now down to $320 in that account.

On Full Tilt, after getting up near $1,000 and then shooting back down under $400, I have now worked it back up over $600 in the last few days, highlighted by these hands:

Thanks for reading.
