It has been some time since my last post on BTP and even longer since I posted in my journal. I have not quit playing poker or anything like that, but I have taken a short break. My grandma is old and not doing all that well so I spend most of my time looking after her. She went to one of my aunts for the rest of the month so I have decided to start playing cards on a regular basis again.

I played in an Empire 30+3 tourney with a prize pool of $2,500 guaranteed. I took first place and netted $718. It felt good after the great run of bad luck and bad cards I've had. The cards were not any good during the game, but I managed to make it to the final table as one of the short stacks. I had 3K and the average was 7.5K or so. The top 8 got paid so I played rock tight until I made the money. After that I doubled up when I got all in with AK against 88.

When there were five people left I was the short stack again. I had almost 4K in chips and pushed with 9To in the small blind and got called by the BB who had A3. Blinds were 500 and 1K. I doubled up. The very next hand the chip leader who had 25K lost 10K when he put the BB all in. I then stole the blinds three hands in a row and won a big pot on the fourth hand I tried stealing when I flopped two pair. It was great, I went from being the short stack to the big stack in six hands. I just ran the table over from that point on.

When it was down to three I had 40K and the other two each had 10K. They were just waiting for the hand to bust me with while I was raising every hand I got. One guy blinded out and the other only had 10K to my 50K when we were heads up. He folded almost every hand in the SB, pushed a couple times making me fold, and then he pushed when I had AQs. He flipped over QJ and that was all she wrote.

It's good to be back,

Good to have ya back Stealthy... NOW, bring back them lesbian stories...

Hmmmm, what's happened since the last time I updated? hmmmmmm.....

To make a long story short I pretty much quit playing poker and withdrew my entire bankroll. Or at least what I had left after I pissed the entire thing away in $100nl, then $50nl then $400 nl on a bad night.

Anyway, a week and a half ago Party gave me $25 and I've been playing with it since. I've turned it into $841 playing 9 tables at a time. It's pretty fun being back a $25nl and playing for fun. I've played 20k hands this week, which is new to me. The only reason I'm getting serious again is so I can make a couple grand so I can have some money for my sisters wedding in Florida next month.

Where in FL is she gettin married? Maybe we can hook up and I'll help you spend some of that roll in the fine establishments around Florida, helping poor underfunded 22 year old "dancers" work their way through law school...

Orlando. I'll be arriving on April 5th and leaving on the 13th.

BAH... Friggin Disney...
