Where I'm At

The past few weeks have been pretty sweet. My back is finally better so I can start running and bballing again, which is definitely missed. First and foremost though, one of my poker buddies, Toots just launched a great blog, which he already left an incredibly chock-full post of poker content in his Odyssey of heads up cash. Definitely a must-read.

With poker, I go in phases. Lately, I have become a sng reg. It's been definitely a profitable journey thus far. I seem to change my mind with my direction, but I'm open to change. During the last week of finals, I went on a crazy tilt. Obviously my mind was not in the optimal mindset and I steamrolled my bankroll down into the 200's when I was at around 400. It was mostly tournaments, but sixty dollars of cash to that I lost quicker than Hellmuth playing that crazy Chinese Poker.

SNG's
My new thing, which I've played about 100-150 sng's in a week and a half span is to 4-5 table the 6.50 turbo's On Full Tilt. I usually play three 9-man's and one 18-27man. This allows me to get more experience in the 18-man format where I definitely lack skill and experience compared to my 9-man takedowns. Lately, I have taken down two 18 man's and came in 2nd in a 27-man, which definitely gives me confidence in my game as well as a boost in ROI. I got up to as high as 340 in my roll and cashed out a bit to treat the gf for our two year anniversary. Kinda crazy to think it's been that long already, but pretty sweet too =).

My Goal
I think a very attainable goal by the end of the summer is to make enough money to pay off my books for next semester. I am certainly not working as much as I was last summer, so some extra income would be great. Other news, I got another final table under my belt cming in fourth out of 244 people for a nice cash as well. These past few weeks has definitely been a profitable one,raking in about $265 from mostly just $6.50 buy-ins, but also showing me that this MOFO has a bit of skilllzz!!! But also, this situation doesn't hurt either.
