A couple quick bonuses, and a trip to vegas

So instead of trying to win TLB this week, i just chopped it with twolip for 500 bucks....I agreed on him sending me 500, and he could win all the free buy ins and the red chat...it worked out well cause I didnt want to have to play all those buy ins during the week, and next weekend I wont be able to play the 150/75k anyways...I also picked up a quick 400 reload bonus on AP, and cashed the 150k for 1k yesterday. This Saturday, the 2nd, Ill be going to Vegas with my gf, my buddy southcjay7 and one of his girls......definitely looking foward to it as this will be my first time there.....i dont plan on playing much poker, although if I do, I plan on playing cash games, since I dont want to be sitting in a tournament with ridiculous rake for hours on end.....

This week Im gonna try to fit 50 hours in - I might make a TLB run if no one is really pushing for it...Hopefully I can make a couple grand more and get to 25k on the month

An interesting week thus far

So I took the majority of Saturday off to play golf, then spent all of Sunday chillen with my gf....Its nice to a break from work, and when your playing 40-50 hours a week, 7 days will burn you out quick.....Monday was pretty uneventful, losing a couple hundred over a 12 hour span....Tuesday began the rollercoaster....I started the afternoon out playing the 20r and a ton of sngs between Cake/AP. Quickly I was getting murdered on AP, putting me roughly -2k on the day.....I ended up going deep in the 20rebuy, shipping it for roughly 2200, leaving me breakeven at my first break around 5 PM. Nothing better than winning a MTT only to find your at where you started the day. During my nightshift, I made a couple hundred on Cake, and ended up going 3rd in the 8k for 1200. Once again I checked the account and I was still at where I started the day :(......I did make an error in the 8k that I really wish I could of folded...we were 3 handed and I had battled the CL a number of times postflop, and assumed he would loosen up(this guy was playing ridiculously tight).....Anyways I picked up A10clubs in the sb, made a standard raise prob 25 bbs deep, he reshoved prob 40 bbs deep, and I called. Against any decent aggressive player this is a pretty easy snap call, but against a total nit I think I should of folded. For me really to be calling with A10 there, he'd have to be shoving KQ,QJ,A6+, and to be honest this guy was THAT tight......looking back on it I guarentee he'd never reshove KJ,A6 there(would prob just call to see a flop), but who knows.

Im also on pace for 16-17k in generated rake, making me roughly 5k in rakeback. Im currently #1 on the AP rakerace which will net me a 2k bonus, #7 on cake for 400 bucks, and destroying these diamond promotions AP is offering.......Im finally profiting on Cake (although only by rakeback this month), putting me +3k on the month. Hopefully in August I can start running half way decent and get positive on sharkscope. Im sick of the fish bowl :(

time to cut out the fat

So recently I came to the conclusion that playing the normal AP MTT's while playing SNG's isn't really that profitable for me, and for that reason Im cutting back on them....The main reason is concentration - I can 12 table Cake/AP sngs all day, but once I throw in some MTT's its going to slow me down/become more stressful....If im playing a MTT and its cutting me out of 2 games, thats 3 an hour im losing, and in the end Im not really making much more on a MTT 8-10 tabling than 12 tabling all sngs....Ill still do the goldmine tournys like the 30rebuy/maybe 100ss, but ill mainly just play the free entries I get from winning tlb.....Also Im trying to win both the AP/Cake rake races so I need all the games I can play...im currently 2nd on AP and 10th on cake.....cake i prob cant win but ill try to get top 5 so i can make 2k between both races.

Running like God in AP SNG's

Since saturday I think ive made 7-8k off ap sngs - running like god.......cake im still getting hammered, dropping about 1k the past 2 days.....one day Id like to profit on there....

I also qualified into the 100k 2nite through a 25 dollar qualfier....hopefully i can get a big score and get to take some days off

Finally got a new monitor - getting hammered on cake

so last week I decided to pick up a monitor - I ended up getting a 19 inch LG for 200 from best buy....with that i grabbed a mouse and went to work...the new monitor makes such a difference -now i can 10-12 table with cake games in the mix and not have to worry about constantly timing out...overall I think its a great investment and going to make me alot of money down the road....


as far as poker, ive getting raped on cake and doing pretty good on ap. I think im down 1600-1800 the past week or two playing 78s on cake, running terribly.....ap has been going well, basically cancelling out this cake downswing and making me some money, although ive been missing the big mtt cashes lately.....im excited about july since my rakeback site will now be offering 2k to first in the ap rake race, and 1200 to 1st in the cake rake race, so im hoping to make some bank off of that and some TLB wins...gl me

back from vacation, made some money

Had a great vacation in St Martin this past week.....at first I was skeptical - driving by the villages and the town, everything was really run down and our hotel was about 30 minutes away from the action....The hotel turned out to be amazing, and we ended up having a great time....Nothing like relaxing on the beach in the carribean or tearing it up on a jetski in a beautiful location.....

On Wednesday I got back to the action.....Wed/Thurs was uneventful, breaking even, but today turned out to be a +4k day after a 20r victory and running well in sngs on both cake/ap....its crazy how quick mtts can turn - in the 20r i was down to 1200 chips at 150/300 early on after 2 pair ran into a set on the turn......somehow i chipped up from there and had a huge 3 way all in suckout with qq to put me in great position....feels good to get a decent mtt hit since its been a while.....

just woke up and making a post

so last month turned out to be somewhat profitable - not sure exactly how much I made but roughly around 12k give or take 1k....June has started off in the red with a -2k swing the past couple days, but Im about to clear a 3k arp bonus on ap and recieve 700 from the rake race, so that should help things out....cake is still in the red but hopefully this month I can start turning a profit.....Im gonna try to knock out 40-45 hours this week since Ill be on vacation 12th-17th
