FreeRollllllllin..........

I have been playing good in MTT's lately but unable to get past final 3 tables for a decent cash. So today, on my anniversary, I not only make it to the FT but was able to get a big chip lead HU. I told my wife that I would only play the blogger today and she didn't mind. However, I went ahead and enrolled in the monthly RTR freeroll not expecting to last longer than the Blogger tourney. So she was pretty upset with me during the whole final table. In my defense, I am pretty sick so if I wasn't playing I would've been lying on the couch anyway.

The first hand of HU we got it all in on this hand.

Happy 1st Birthday Cody!

Today is my son's 1st birthday and my wedding anniversary. Cody was a BIG suprise and was totally unexpected. My wife was planning on going back to work once my youngest daughter started 1st grade. The day after the first day of school we found out she was pregnant. Not too long before, we had given away all of our baby clothes and furniture.

After having 3 kids I couldn't imagine having another baby in the house, but now can't imagine life without him.

So close again....


Congrats to TuscaloosaJohn for taking down the Big Game. It was a very tough final table. My AK ran into the much better hand A9 held by 1Queens Up1 and I finished 3rd. I got the much needed points but would have been nice to take this one down.

Also, congrats to 2BA and Heffmike for making the final table of both blogger tournaments today.

Almost 2 for 2



If I could just stick to these SNGs my ROI would be great. I end up spending my profits chasing the big score in tournies. I've noticed these being a lot softer on weekend nights. Anyone else think the games are softer on Friday and Saturday nights?

I finished 2nd in the Mookie on Wednesday which moved me up to 2nd place in the points standings and giving me a great start in April's points race.

Congratulations to 1Queens Up1 for taking down the the March points race.
