Full slate

I continue to have awesome success in the AP satellites. I found that even though you can't register for subsequent satellites once you have won a seat you can register for multiple satellites at the same time and receive cash for any duplicate wins. I shipped 3 150k tickets within an hour the other day which puts me in great shape for another 2 months of satellites entries.

I threw in a couple $5r wins recently so I know I can do it. I just need to keep the volume up. I by no means put myself in the upper echelon of player but I'm smart enough to know that I can run deep. Hell I finished 5th in the 100k in my first attempt 3 years ago! If the donk I was can FT then for sure I can do it again now.

This is what my typical registration looks like:


Wish me Luck! I need it.

Optical Illusion?

Don't hurt yourself trying to figure this out....

That hole is my ticket to Aruba....

Sigh...

I made it to the $530 Aruba game again and finished 10th. That's my 3rd strike in the big Aruba game. However, I'm in the 50r again tonight. There is no give up in me. This is a goal and I won't be denied.

I have really been affected by the tribulations of others. Life is short and family is important. If you don't agree now than you probably will later in life. I really believe that. Oh, and Cancer sucks.

My middle son made his 'A' team in hockey. Blessing or not we are in for a long season. I will be coaching him again. I will be giving up my older sons team and picking up my 4 year olds team. Two teams is all I can do and my older son is at that stage where my IQ has dropped significantly and won't miss me being on the bench. All part of growing up I suppose.

I'm praying for Alaina and Buchs in their cancer battles and that makes my poker battles completely insignificant.

In fact, I am playing less and doing more to help others instead. Maybe I'm in a mid-life crisis, idk...

My not so Super Saturday

In the 250K I was a total cardrack for the first couple hours. Had all the big hands and hit a couple flops with speculative hands and had a nice stack going into hour 3 with very little stealing or re-stealing. (against you Zim I had AA both times I repopped you)

I had made up my mind before the game started that cashing wasn't important I wanted a FT. At the bubble I had enough chips to coast to the cash but got it aipf with AT versus A2 suited. The A2 guy flopped the flush and it was all over but my 1M shove the last shove with 59.

While at it I satellited into the Aruba 50r and tried the WSOP satellite but failed to get through.

Onto the 2nd Chance 50K. About 5 hands in UTG raises 3X blind. I call it with 99 and two more guys call. The flop is 956, with two clubs. UTG raises 1/2 pot. I re-reraise repping JJ hopeing he has AA and will reshove me. Well the BB re-pops and UTG folds. I think for a moment and def see him having 78, but also two pair or the flush draw and a pair. I have top set and have outs even if he has 78 or hits his flush. I shove it all in to go for the chiplead. He has 78 and I brick out. GG

Meanwhile the Aruba game is going on. There are about 14 ppl in with first getting a $530 seat and second getting $320. I make it heads up with a 2:1 chip lead. Two suckouts later I have myself another ugly dress. GG and good night.

I will be going to Aruba, I cannot continue to get unlucky from now until September.

Hurray Hurray

"Hurray Hurray, it's the first of May. Outdoor fucking starts today."

In my case it's the start of next years hockey season today with the first of 3 tryout sessions for "A". Two weeks off hardly seems enough but whatever, when in Rome... I imagine baseball is the same thing in the States. It's actually starting to become really popular here. I guess the Blue Jays promote well and we also have an ex big leaguer (Greg O'halleron) that lives close by and volunteers a lot of his time. His kids are just awesome to watch in both baseball and hockey. Must be something in the genes.

I just watched a cool video of what the Big House will be like in 2010. This coming season will be interesting with the loss of seniors. They always seem to find enough new talent to keep tough. I'm sure this is a rebuilding year of sorts. Nov 22 Michigan is at Ohio State. If Bzim and Rags can stand sitting in a sea of Maize and Blue we should make it a date.

Sigh....I picked up what seems like my 5th or so ugly dress in the Aruba 50r last night. Always a bridesmaid... at least I got $420 out of it to fund further attempts.

Well this weekend is 'Super Saturday' on AP. I'm in the 250k and the 50k second chance as well as the 75k on Sunday. I satellited into that one after watching JoeDirt take down a ticket in the AP forum game last night. I wanted a ring side seat for his Sunday game.

Good Luck to all that play.
