Decent Progress

Though I am not up to my former play level, I am beginning to make progress on the bankroll front.   Sunday I managed to cash in every buyin that I entered.  I only entered three and none cost over $6 so my +$80 was ok.  Sadly, I will remember the day for coming up 10 places short of a trip to Ireland.

Players Only had a gold card satellite.  For an 8H gold card, you could get into a game with 20 seats to their Irish Open Weekly Final.  The seats were a $268 ticket, so I was pretty stoked about qualifying.  There is no cash conversion of these tickets, so you must play the event.  I got whacked 13th out of 91 or so.  top 3 got a $7,500 prize pool that included entry to the Irish Open Main Event.  My biggest setback was running KK into AA.  I think I should have been able to tell it was AA too.  Which only makes it worse that I couldn’t let go of KK.

Still, cashing all 3 buyins is not too bad.  I guess i will have to take that and move on

A bit of a breakthrough

Well i managed to pocket a bit more yesterday. I got 7th in the $3,000 guarnteed bounty on Players Only Poker. It was nice to final table an open event. Sort of a little confidence builder heading into all the weekend activity. I have yet to play anything today.

Had to go have my eyes checked out. it seems I am becoming nearsighted. I figured as much since things far away were blurry and hard to make out. No worries, I am not so vain as to object to wearing glasses. If you could see me, you would know that vanity would be misplaced on me anyway.
