Playin poker with Michael Finley..

I was in Tunica at the Horseshoe last night, playing 10/20 limit holdem and Michael Finley of the San Antonio Spurs sat down at my table and played for about an hour. I finished the night +$450. At times I was down as much as $450, played for six hours so I'm happy with the profit. I'm + $600 since my $9k win on week ago. So life is treating me well. Hopefully I can make another big win this weekend. We'll see.

9 way chop!! lol The railbirds where in a tissy.

Coming up on 36 hrs with maybe 3 hrs of sleep. Kinda hard to sleep when you beat nearly 1600 players in a rebuy tournment and Win $9k. I had Pokerstars Western Union me $1k this morning. lol I cashed out $8k into my checking account. That way I won't be tempted to play the 100/200 game or play heads up for $5k and possibly loose it all back. I haven't played but one $50 heads up match which I lost on the second hand which I flopped two pair and got beat by a turn flush. I'm taking a break and enjoying my spoils for a while.

Yes my friends we had a nine way chop in the big $10 rebuy tourney. I was 2nd in chips with 2.2 million. My chop was $8500, we agreed to donate $200 for the winner of the table for a total of $1800 more for the winner. The railbirds went nuts. They couldn't believe all nine agreed to a deal. I had a great chop and was not bitching at all. Originally 9th paid only $953 and 1st paid $15k, 2nd $9100 so it was not a bad chop at all for me. If I had any less chips I would not of agreed to chop. So it got down to me heads up with my 2.4 million vs 6.4 million, after I busted him out of a quick million he offered me a deal on the $1800 ....8 for me 1k for him. It was five a.m. and that would put me up to 9K the biggest money winner..I took it. I busted him out 4 hands later but even after the first chop play was alot diffrent (looser)than before. Yes I guess I have no balls as the railbirds said, but I have $9k for it. Let me feel ...I still have balls.

I finally hit the big time!!!! My Bigggest Online Win Ever!!!

My biggest PokerStars Win Ever!!!!! Im Back!

I won my first Omaha H/L Tournament!!!

I said I wasn't playing again till the Poker Stars VIP 100k freeroll Saturday. Well that's because I have $.03 right now in my Poker Stars account and am not reloading. Well I found $8 in my Party Poker account that I forgot about. First I played in a $6 buy in Limit Holdem 1 table sit n go, I finished 3rd and won $12. I then sat in what I thought was a $11 buy in NL Holdem 1 table sit n go tourney only to find out too late it was actually Limit Omaha H/L. Oops!! I suck at Omaha H/L!! Well I buckled down and said I'm a damn good card player! plus my head is clear today, I can do it! I did!! I won it! $50 woo hoo. I know, not very impressive, but that's a 1st for me in any form of Omaha, so I'm impressed. Maybe this is my road back to profit. I lost round $4k since Kassi broke up with me 3 weeks ago. Good thing I won $6k in December. lol I spent $3k of it on xmas though so that's actually minus $1k to the bankroll in the last 8 weeks. The pic I posted is Doyle Brunson @ the ESPN WSOP Tournament of Champions I took when I was in Vegas in November. Only 8 days till I'm back @ the Bellagio!!! Woo Hoo!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Poker is on a major down slide the last week. Mainly because of my emotional duress of my broken heart. I know better than to play when I'm not right emotionally and i keep paying a hefty price. Well I'm not playing till the VIP 100k freeroll Saturday. Hopefully that will juice my bankroll cause it needs it after the shalacking it has been taking. I still have some $$ for Vegas. Maybe I'll win big there, we'll see. Not much else going on. I post a blog everyday on myspace.com so if you want to keep up on my personal crap that's where to go. This is going to be my poker life blog exclusively from now on.

Hangin with John Rich.. The Rich of Big & Rich

This weekend was fun but exhausting I basically woke Saturday and didnt go to bed till Sunday night. I've been losing lately and my bankroll has suffered. Today is Mellow Monday. I'm rested up now and hopefully can win some money today. I'd hate not to have a bankroll for Vegas next month.yuk. Life's ok, it could be better, I'm just dealing with the cards I've been dealt lately. My pair of ace's got cracked. That's an inside joke to myself. I ran into John Rich ( the Rich of Big & Rich) Saturday night and we took a Hook'em Horns pic as you can see. My friends & I got to hang out with him and his girlfriend all night. We ended up eating breakfast @ the Hermitage Cafe. Had alot of fun. He is from Dallas so we have common.
