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:

Most of those are pretty standard hands, but hey, I’m not going to complain. So, to update my roll, I have $320 in PS and $631 on FT for a total of $950. Here’s hoping I keep the upswing going.

Thanks for reading.
