Quick Update!

Just wanted to give a quick update to everyone! Going to be heading to Texas tomorrow to visit with Grandma as she is getting worse, but I will be online and ready to start playing come February 1st.

I have been reading for the past week, and have made it through a couple more books. I will be doing alot of reading on the road tomorrow, and will be ready to start applying it to the tables when my February BAP starts up. Speaking of that it is almost sold out. Only have 3 shares left to sell at $10.00 a piece so that makes a total of $30.00 left to raise. Should not be a problem with 9 days left. I am really looking forward to running this HEEB and am expecting some good things! Here is a link to my BAP ad, if you haven't gotten a share yet, hurry they won't be available for too much longer!

MY BAP AD!!

Also starting in February, I will be leading the poker forum rakereport.net in starting a forum league. We will be playing once a week and the buy-ins will be $1.25. This is a new addition to the site and should draw some newer members. This is not the only major thing happening on this site. They announced last week that they will be giving away a WPT Bootcamp package that will be happening in December. Everyone should go and check them out, sign up, and join us for this amazing chance!!

As for the other league I am a member of. We just started back up and we are trying to get some new members to really get the tourney fields to be big once again. There is a good bunch of guys and gals there and I think that most anyone that reads this will fit in with them. Check out the site and join in, it's always a great time when we get on the tables together!!

PRC League!

On a personal note, I started the a new med today for my arthritis, and with this addition things should really start to turn around for me. I am hoping for a really great 2008 and so far it has been looking promising! I hope everyone else is having a good year so far also. GL to everyone on and off the tables.

Another day, continue to lose!!

Well the title says it all. I played in 3 of the 90 man tourneys on FTP today and managed to finish 87th, 19th, and 22nd in them. I also played in a PRC League tourney, and managed to bubble the money in that one also. So for any that are out there trying to keep track, that now makes it 16 tourneys in a row without a cash. This year so far has not been too nice to me on the felt. I have lost over $150 and have only cashed in 5 out of 35 tourneys. I am just going to keep grinding through, and hopefully things will make a turn for me soon.

On a side note, I got a phone call back from the drug company, and they approved me for the medication assistance program. So that means I will be getting the meds that I need for the next year at no cost to me. This will mean a better level of living for me and hopefully will mean that I will get to start back at work, and get back into class this fall.

Other than that, things are the same. Here is to a change tomorrow on the felt!!

Sorry!

Sorry all, it has been a while since I have updated. I will try my best to atleast get an update out there once a week. No promises.

Well the holidays came and went. I really missed being with my friends back in Richmond for the New Years festivities!! Hopefully this year will bring on new adventures and will be better for me health wise. I have some leads on getting meds for me, which will help get me back into the real world. I really and still trying to start school in the fall. Just got to see what happens between now and then!

Poker finished off last year very well. I ran a BAP of thirty (30) 90 mans on FTP at the $5.50 level. Got off to a rough start but really turned it on to finish it off with a nice profit for my backers. I was able to get another BAP up and sold out to run the following:

30 - $5.50 90 mans
10 - $5.50 45 mans
10 - $5.50 18 mans
5 - $11.00 18 mans

So far these have not gone to well. The starting BR was $330 and I am down almost $200. I only have 15 of the 90 mans to run, but these have been my most profitable games over the past few months, so hopefully I can turn this around and get back into a profit for my backers.

My future BAP plans are to sell out all my play for the month of February. I currently have it set-up and have sold some shares. Still have a long way to go to get the total $500, but also have just about all of January left to get this sold out. The plan is to split the $500 between PS and FTP, and adhering a 5% rule to those bankrolls. Meaning to start off, I can play any tourney up to the $12.50 level on both sites. This should be a fun BAP to run and hopefully a profitable one. It will allow me to play both SNGs and MTTs, so I am excited to have the opportunity.

The league that I am a member of on FTP is going to get start up again this Wed. Jan 9, 2007. They are a really good group of people and have really helped my game involve to where it is today. They will be running 5 tourneys a week on Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, and Sunday. All the buy-ins are going to be $2.50, and each tourney will have points that are awarded for the top finishers. Then those that have the most points at the end of the month will be invited to a special tourney to battle it out for the best of the month! Everyone should check out this league and join in on the fun.

Pocket Rocket Crew

The only other forum that I really frequent is the RakeReport.net, they had some great giveaways over the holidays, and just announced some new bonuses, and there are some big announcements come. So check them out also and get in on the fun before you can't!!



Well, that is pretty much it for now. GL to everyone on the tables and I hope everyone has a great year!! Oh, and my birthday is this Saturday. I'll be turning 27!!
