I would say that everything else being equal, getting out for $1000 (and the opportunity to resell the tables) on the card room was a good thing.

Sorry to hear it, but now ties can be cut clean and the relocation to Vegas can go on as planned. . . .

Wow the stars must have lined up properly because I actually booked a nice size win at the 3-6 tables after starting out on a rocky road early on. One beauty of a hand here and all I can think about on the flop and turn is NO HEART, NO HEART, NO HEART and then the damn river is a heart and I weakly checked behind which I shouldn't have as I knew the middle guy had a set of 10's and the first guy would in all likelihood fired out when the flush hit if he had it but still a nice pot.

Well not many things more enjoyable to me than playing hold'em at a world class level and having the cards break as they should. Just put on a clinic this morning while 8 tabling 3-6 limit for 8 victories and a little over 400 in an hour. Nice when everything comes together as it should.

Well a two day total with a nice round figure for May thus far: 1074.00

Thinking about depositing some money into WPEX for the 100% rake back there. Was watching some 3-6 SH games and they looked pretty soft and with an additional estimated return of 35-40.00 per hour 2 tabling looks pretty promising. Probably throw in another 2 tables of 5-10 SH at Party and maybe one at TRP for a potential very nice hourly rate when all the bonuses and rake return is taken into account.

Well I guess you can't win 400 per hour every hour at 3-6 limit but despite getting sucked out on in alot of hands I still managed to turn a decent profit for the hour of 61.38 so can't complain too much. Did get the refer a friend bonus at TRP so I guess they didn't take that away and gave me the big bonus which is nice.

Wow what a brutal phucking session that found me down about 500.00 but I managed to turn it around and actually showed a small profit (17.14) when all the smoke cleared. A couple of hands to illustrate the mauling early on and the return of the poker god in the late stages

Took the plunge and deposited into WPEX this evening. Played just a bit and the rake return looks like it will average about 2.5 BB/100 at the 3-6 SH game which is pretty damn nice. Can foresee alot more time being spent there.
