No Trip Report Here......just envy....
I've been enjoying the trip reports......sounds like it was even better than anticipated......how could it not be......one of these times I'll make it out there for a gathering....I just hafta......
I know all of you are just dying to know what's been going on with me so let me ramble for a minute or two.........
On the poker front......back to playing a decent amount online.....mostly at Party for the moment but I do want to get some dinero back over to Full Tilt to finish working off my bonus and play few of the tourney's I hear are so soft. My online bankroll has taken a hit for two reasons....1) I had to cash out a chunk of it for the good of my family which is now and forever will be number one. 2) I hit a bad run on Full Tilt which was a combination of bad play....RAZZ....and heads up sit and go's. I am in the process of building it back up to where it was.....I did it once.....let's see if I can do it again. What an awesome feeling it is to be able to use poker winnings for my family's needs......instead of us struggling to make this or that work I simply made the decision to pull a chunk out of the roll and take care of it. I have used poker winnings to take my family on a kick ass weekend trip to an indoor water park, get my 4 year old boy a kick ass Spiderman jumper for his birthday, and pay the escrow overage on the house......awesome.
I made it out to Trump last night after a couple week layoff......played the 2/5 $200Max NL game and fared decently. My NL cash game still needs some work but I'm heading in the right direction. Here's a question........in Vegas the $200 max NL cash game has blinds of 1/2...right? That's the one thing that drives me crazy about the 200max game at Trump......the blinds are 2/5 so there's not any room to wiggle and you committ your stack early.....I've started buying initially for $400 at the cage ($200 in green) so if and when I drop below $100 early on due to being aggressive I can easily and quickly reload back up to $200. Thoughts?
We'll be in Iowa for the holidays this year......Will be making a trip to Prarie Meadows in Des Moines to see what kind of poker and -EV games they got......could be interesting.
Other than that just enjoying time with the kids and looking forward to the holidays. I'm a classic procrastinator when it comes to shopping for my wife.....I usually come up with at least one or two great ideas that go over huge......this year I got nothing. I hope something hits me between now and then....it's coming up fast.
Won't be back to Trump for awhile with the holidays and all......maybe not even until 2006.....we'll see.....
I hope you all have a Great Holiday!
Take Care!
