FINALLY a poker post...
I know its been MONTHS since I updated my blog. I wanted to update it every 2 or 3 times a week but my golly too many things came up on my end. Finally I have some time here and there to write up something.
Funny thing about this blog is that I NO LONGER play limit omaha 8. I finished Empire's August reload breaking even WITH the bonus. I wasnt hitting the flops or wasn't hitting my draws. It was just AWFUL!!!! I've decided to take a break from Omaha for a month or two and play some Texas.

My bankroll have suffered since I last posted a few months back. Lets go over what has happened since March.
- paid for a new "Tommy Train" table for my son
- paid about $150 for my trip to Long Island for a softball tournament
- paid about $400 for my trip to Gulfport/Biloxi for another softball tournament...yes I did play some poker there...I'll write it up in a bit
- frequent trips to 7-11 cuz I keep forgetting to make lunch for work
- Tried to detrone some of the mighty NL players at Poker Stars
- Keep breaking even when bonus whoring Party and Empire
- Spent about $450 in Atlantic City for a friend's bachelor party....HAD a GREAT TIME...I won $330 playing Let It Ride...WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO!?!?!
Probably more where my $$$ went... Some people are lucky enough to have a SEPERATE bankroll for poker. I dont have that luxury. My poker winnings ALSO pays for me to some fun and etc. Amy and I are on a strict budget when it comes to spending money. Heck we STILL have our old TV when we first got married....TEN YEARS AGO!!!!...and STILL have our old computer desk too. We are not poor by any means but we just are smart with our money. You wont be seeing us driving a $40K car or a $50K SUV. Sure we can afford it...BUT WE DONT NEED IT. Instead you might see us drive in our $20K Caravan or our current 1998 Honda Civic. As long as it gets us to point A and B, then we are happy. More importantly as long as I can get to Atlantic City, then I'm EXTREMELY happy. Sorry for going off the point there. So, my "spending money" is also by poker bankroll. If I want to enjoy a guys night out or whatever, then I better win some pots or otherwise I wont be joinging the guys.
Currently I'm trying to win enough to get my son a new swing/playground set. That might have to be put on hold till next spring. If I'm lucky and win Party mini-step tournament ($2000 prize....currently at step 3), then I'm at the store the next day. No we are not looking at one of those $300 playground sets that you see at your local Toys R Us. We are looking at one of those wooden $1300 ones. Something that will last a good long while in case we have 2nd child or so. Sure we can put $1300 on credit and make payments. That just means more "payments" and more "debt" for us to owe.

Going back to my game... here is my current plan. I plan to stick with Texas .50/$1 full ring for the next month or two. I'm only going to play at most an hour per session. Well maybe longer since I've got XM. At the same time, will be playing some SNG at Absolute. For every $50 I profit, I will cash it out. Starting now, once I profit $1K. Then will move up to the higher stakes ($2/$4) and make some serious reload deposits. By then I will sign up at Eurobet and get some rake back.
As of right now, during the first weekend of November, I'm set to hit Atlantic City. So far, its 5 of us staying at Best Western for 2 nights ($130 total..$26 each).
