Side bet that I WILL ship

So I'm in a TLB race next week on AP. Three of us are putting up $333 so there's gonna be basically a 1k pool. There's basically very little chance that I won't win this. One of the guys is getting a 1.5:1 handicap but he still doesn't play high enough to compensate for this. Nor do I think he'll play the type of crazy volume that I think I will. The other guy is really good, but I think I can play more volume than him. I'm pretty confident...now its just a matter of me putting in the hours and shipping it.

If you want to follow my progress you can do so in this thread.

Ship it one time...

I'm currently 13 of 177 at the second break of the AP 60k Sunday tourney. First takes down over 15k. That would be sooooo nice. I just reached Elite VIP at AP so now I'm pretty much gonna have enough Absolute Reward Points to buy into the Saturday 150k and the Sunday 60k for free every week. Nice! I'll update as the night goes on...unless something catastrophic happens and I just completely forget.

JUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played 1000 SNGs last month. I won about $2850. I've played about 150 SNGs this month. I've won about $2850. Go figure. I'm glad April is over!

HHHHHHHHHokay

May is over. Exhale. I HATED poker last month. I played exactly 1000 SNGs in May for a profit of just under 3k. That's WAAAAAAAYYY below average. For the year I have an ROI of ~16.5%. If I had run normal that would have been a profit of 7260. Plus, I was bubble boy in the MATH this week when I made a completely idiotic resteal against TripJax. There were 5 of usI had T30k with about 100k in play and 15 people left. After that I lost every single race. It was just absolutely disgusting. That was a great way to cap off the month :). Basically, since my last post I took an AMAZING trip to Texas, and then, since I unexpectedly had no internet while down there for five days, I played about 350 SNGs (so that I could avoid paying kurokitty $500) in the final four days of the month. On Absolute, with no turbos and not a ton of traffic, that's a TON of poker. Ugh. Glad that's over.

On the bright side, the trip to Texas was an awesome experience. I've never been to a mountainous region and southwest Texas definitely fit the bill. We went to Big Bend National Park and basically spent a day hiking through the mountains and throwing rocks at Mexico. I'm not a big nature buff, but this was some cool stuff.

Just incredible views all around...















Well, that's really I have for ya. I'm almost through two chapters of the book. An excerpt will very likely be posted early next week.
