Well in celebration of pissing people off that the tables or perhaps just because I never saw a good day not to barbeque I fired up the old grill and placed a voodoo victim on it. Hard to beat some grilling, some good cervezas and some good smoke. Certainly wish a few of you were in the neighborhood.

Well you are certainly welcome to come down south if you ever get the hankering to do so. On that note I have been pondering a move back to Las Vegas. I really miss the action of that city and with all of these new found card geniuses filling up the green felt tables I find the idea very enticing. It would also allow me to see my children more often which would mean a great deal to me. Couple this with the fact that my beautiful workaholic wife could probably make a great deal more than me as a cocktail waitress and it gives me something to think about.

Certainly all degenerate gamblers are welcome to crash at my pad and bang my wife as long as I am allowed to film it that is.

Did a little more battle with some hard core gangstas and managed a small win.

Was pretty tired this morning so went back for a nap while doing some datamining on the 10-20 games. Hopped on a couple of juicy tables for a short session as I have to leave soon to take my little girl for some shots. Nice results for the limited time. It is amazing how much more loose the 10-20 games are than the 3-6 and 5-10 limit tables in general.

Trying to promote the one hour working week?

No I am talking >25% vip. In the last few days I have fired up the top 8 tables of 36 and every one of them virtually had VIP table averages <20% and the best ones right at 22%. Compare this to what I am typically finding at 10-20 with 8 tables open, 4-6 >28%, 2-4 22-28%. And in my opinion the post flop play hasn't made me tremble in my shoes from the majority of these cats. Earlier today I sat at a table that had a VIP average >40% and if I hadn't had to go would have been glued to that seat for a while. I am seeing alot of the more maniacal type players at this limit than I have in a long time at 3-6.

Played an evening session upon returning from the doctor's office and just couldn't make anything happen. In about the first 5 hands I am dealt here are the results of 3 of them that had me catching up right out of the gate. So after conveniently digging myself a 600 or so hole I made up a little ground and joined MK for a very brief 20-40 session where I picked up a little over 300 in my very first hand from the BB so that helped ease the pain. So all in all ended down 19.00 for the total evening fiasco which I will take.

You had big slick 3 times in your first 5 hands? and lost all 3?

Wow is about all I can say for the continued ass whippings in 10-20. Had the classic fish syndrome at my table where I was the only one losing to him while he in return dumped my chips back to the other players. Nice time there. On a better front I whipped some more ass in the 20-40 games. I have now won 14 of 18 sessions there for a pretty tidy sum albeit the sessions have been mainly short ones.

A pretty rigorous afternoon session with a variety of games played, mainly in an attempt to get another 100 bonus knocked out from Multipoker. Finished with the bonus and have two more 100 ones left to do but I am thinking about just saying phuck it to doing them as there is only 3 more days left to clear them and each takes 2K raked hands. But all in all I did manage to knock out 400.00 worth of bonuses from them which isn't bad.
