Nothing exciting this weekend…

July 31st, 2005

Played a little bit at UB…and I’m up to $326 right now. I cashed out $2k. I’m expecting my win percentage to drop at any time now. The usual UB “run and done”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you have to go back and read some of my previous blogs. I [...]

Finally getting some money back…

July 30th, 2005

Well, I finally got my money back that I lost at Bodog ($1000) and UB ($700). I’m up to about $2300 now on UB. I’ve been playing $3/$6, $5/$10, and $2/$4 no limit. UB is seriously the only place that I’ve won at consistently. Every time I try to sign up to a new site, [...]

Atlantic City grind at the Borgata…

July 26th, 2005

So, I made an impromptu visit to Atlantic City this weekend. I don’t know…I guess I just felt like gamblin’. I’m sure everyone’s had one of those “can’t fight the urge” moments. We left DC around 10:30 AM on Saturday morning and arrived at the Borgata around 3:30 PM. What normally takes about 3 1/2 [...]

It’s Friday!

July 22nd, 2005

I don’t know about you, but this has been one of the longest weeks ever! I guess it’s because I was in Vegas all last week. It’s hard to recover from a little mini vacation. I’m so ready to gamble again. I might be heading to the Borgata on Saturday…maybe. So, I’m not talking about [...]

More on WSOP…

July 21st, 2005

First hand that I played I had 93o in the big blind with two limpers. The blinds were at 25-25. The flop came 2-3-8. It was checked all the way around. The turn brought a 4. I bet out 75. The immediate player to my left called and the other guy folded. The river brought [...]

Now I know…

July 15th, 2005

Well, I made it back from my Vegas trip in one piece. It was a phenominal trip. The scene at the Rio where the World Series of Poker is taking place is nothing short of stellar. They set up over 200 tables inside their convention center. Plenty of room for everyone to walk around without [...]

quick update from Vegas…

July 10th, 2005

I’m up about $300-$400 overall right now. I dropped about $300-$400 at the blackjack and craps tables, but I made a mad run on the $10/$20 limit table. Cashed out with over $1k. There were some crazies playing $10/$20. Loose, agressive and terrible. I’ve got two more days to push $1k, so I can buy-in [...]

24 hours and I’ll be in Vegas…

July 8th, 2005

I’m getting pretty excited about Vegas. It’s been over two years since I’ve been there. I’ve been reading all of these poker blogs and of course, Cardplayer.com, to keep up with the main event. It’s been getting me sooo pumped up to be there. We arrive in Las Vegas at 10:30 AM PST tomorrow morning. [...]

Vegas in three days.

July 6th, 2005

Well, I’m heading to Vegas in a few days here. It’s going to be crazy over there because more than 6500 people are expected to play in the main WSOP tournament. Since my game has been poo poo lately, I haven’t decided whether I want to be dead money or not and play in the [...]

$60 buy-in no limit tourney…

July 3rd, 2005

Play in a 17 man $60 no limit tournament yesterday. I played pretty tight for the first 3 rounds and had my stack a little over the 2000 starting stack when this hand came up. I had AA in the cutoff, blinds were at 75/150. I made it 300 to go. Everyone folds except for [...]
