Been crushing pretty good online lately. It's been really nice in the office because there will be 4 or 5 people playing and we can all communicate about hands and discuss strategy with eachother from all angles of poker. There are tourney guys, rush poker guys, full ring, 6 max and then heads up guys. I'm excited because Mrs. D (the wifey) flys in tomorrow night. :) I haven't seen my wife in almost a month. Other than online, I bricked the 1k on Saturday - really couldn't get anything going and shoved 66 over a limp and guy behind me had QQ and I didn't catch up, but I did do well in a 5/10 cash game before the tourney started. i'm still down like 16k liquid, but I'm up about that online so it's all good. I played a guy at 10.20 yesterday for 3-4 hours and started down 6k then ended +7.5k on him before he quit. I've just recently been starting to sit at 10/20 so the swings are pretty brutal sometimes, but you can really clear some big profits if you game select and play your best.
Been playing a lot of ping pong in the house with the housemates and we went out a few times to some steakhouses and once to blue martini for cougar night. Funny to watch the youngster housemates try to pick up on the girls. We've taken some badass limos around town as well as it's cheaper to just pay for a big limo then get 2 taxis to the strip.
I'm not sure how many more events I'm going to play this year. It's been pretty frustrating as the fields are super soft yet I haven't made a deep run yet. We'll see though... there are just a few short weeks left....

Golfing in Vegas other random stuff drunk SNGs
4 of us from the house golfed yesterday at Rhodes Ranch golf club here in Vegas. It was an awesome sick course, pretty challenging with some nice greens. Price wasn't too bad either. I had 2 birdies on the round which was pretty nice. Tonight I have some friends going to a wine bar so I might join them. I'm having some serious laptop problems so I have to run up to best buy to either have the geek squad fix this lagging problem or just buy a new one. Also need to find a place in vegas for a haircut.
We've been playing 100.00 house SNGs every night. I won one and got HU with kyle last night but he owned me pretty hard and scooped the house. Tomorrow is the 1500 which I'm probably going to play. One of us really needs to go deep in something. It's really fun to be on the rail of your friends deep in a tourney. I want to be that guy that is deep in the tourney though. We set a goal for our office of 200k for the summer. There are 7 of us total and we range from 1/2 6 max grinders to Derrick who plays 25/50 and up. I think I'm up the most so far :) so let's just hope it continues!!

Live from Vegas
It's been a frustrating start to the WSOP for me this year. It's my first year playing an almost full schedule of events. I have one cash so far in a 1500.00 and then I cashed the 1600 at Venetian, but overall I'm down 14k on the trip. We just moved into our house yesterday and all the guys are really cool and easy to get along with. Most of us went out to XS night club at Encore. I'm the senior of the group at 29 as most of them are 23-25, plus i'm the only married one (well jason is pretty much married) so I guess I have to keep my fatherly eye on them to keep them in order. It's okay though.... I'm not a huge fan of nightclubs. They are overpriced for entrance, overpriced for drinks and it's so crowded just bumping into people.... it's really not my thing, plus I grew out of that stage of life a while ago.
We got our office set up though and I ran awful today, but played people worse than I ran so had a good day yesterday and today clearing 10k. I withdrew money before the series to buy into events, so it's nice to recover the bankroll a bit. It's hard being away from the wife (and the dog) but she's coming out next week which I'm super excited for. I'm so fortunate to have a supportive and understanding wife. She loved me when I had 100.00 to my name and always tells me that she'd live in a cardboard box with me if that's what it took. You can't beat that. I plan on playing a few more events but still haven't locked up my 10k main event seat yet. Hopefully that comes soon. I'll try to keep this updated throughout the series.

been another long while
went to borgata and mincashed some tourneys, was very unlucky deep in some tourneys... KK < JJ and QQ vs JJ vs AQ river Ace deep in another tourney. Been dabbling a lot with PLO and getting better at it as I'm getting not much action HU for regular NL hold em. Here's a fun hand:

i had my worst week ever last month losing 40k in 4 days taking a shot at a fish at 25/50 I had him down to 1600.00 and he ran it up to like 27k. pretty gross.... so it's been a slow grind back. Taxes hurt a lot too, but they are done and over with.

March Beginnings
Didn't really do much for my birthday. I mean, once you pass 18 and 21 and then the insurance drop at 25, there really isn't many birthdays to get excited about except maybe 55 for social security or is that 62 now... then 65 when we can withdraw roth iras and mutual funds and stuff. Yesterday was a brutal grind for me... I took some shots at 10.20 and 25.50 and lost 13k in like 2hours. it was so bad. I played all day though and got it all back 11 hours later playing nothing higher than 5/10. It was my best comeback ever. I felt like such a superstar ending the day +188 bucks lol. Here are a few of the hands that crushed me early.
