Well I didn’t get much playing in at all since my last post. I haven’t been feeling well and that has limited my time at the table. I also played with my club group Friday night and spent the weekend with the FCPHA at the horse track and on the boat. Great times were had and I even won at Let-It-Ride (what a stupid game)
On the bankroll note I am obviously way behind on the number of SNG’s played. I am going to try and catch up a bit this weekend as I have no plans.
It’s been kind of strange, in the 13 SNG’s I have played I have yet to win but my ROI is over 50%. I should be happy with that but not winning sucks. I hate coming in second, it doesn’t bother me as much coming in third. Second just leaves you with a bad feeling of what if. I am a better heads up player than the people I am up against but the cards haven’t been kind to me.
Oh well I shouldn’t bitch about a 50% ROI. If I could keep that up and never win another tournament I would be a rich man.

So I had taken most of my money out of my online bankroll because as you know I haven’t been playing much. I have basically been playing around with $2 & $3 mtt’s for the fun off it.
So I have decided to take my last $30 and try and turn it into some cash for my Vegas trip in November. I am going to play one table SNG’s starting at the $5 level and work my way up. I made a spreadsheet with lots of numbers and what I think are conservative ROI projections and the goal turns out to be $671.70.
Well after the first two days of play my projected BR is $48.30 and my actual BR is $47.05. Not a bad start especially when you consider that I haven’t won an SNG yet and my cards have been below average.
I’ll try and keep the updates frequent as possible.

Hey, long time no blog.
But first
Happy birthday baby. 42 today.
Also this past Friday my Easter Bunny graduated from Navy boot camp.
Norm said I would cry and he was right, but just a little. As the divisions started coming in I wondered if I was going to be able to see him but when his division walked in the big door there he was right up front carrying the divisions E-flag. He looked so tall and serious, so I broke down a little. I couldn’t have been more proud of him. I was also really missing my dad, I wish he could have been there.
Well Nick is already off again to his A-school in Goose Creek South Carolina. He’s going to be there for a while, 18 months. Hos mom is already missing him again and I see a few road trips in out future.
Poker has been, well, meh. Haven’t played a lot, mostly micro mtt’s. Been busy and not really in the mood. I don’t see that changing for a while. I do have my home game this Friday and the FCPHA is getting together this weekend so some live poker is in my near future.
