Update time

Quick update on all things on my side. I am still running this month long stake and am up about $30 right now. I am getting semi-deep in some tourneys, just can't crack the middle money mark and get to the FT.

My schedule has been these tourneys lately:

On PS:
$5.50 5k Guar @ 1300
$11.00 2k Guar @ 1900


On FTP:
$6.00 Early Daily Double A
$6.00 Early Daily Double B
$1.00 Re-buy


The 2 tourneys on PS both have 3k starting chips and have 15 min levels, which seems to work rather well for my game.

I have double cashed the Early Daily Doubles twice so far in the last month, and they start with 2k in chips.

I have managed to get semi-deep in the $1 re-buy the last 2 days with a 51st and 40th place finish. Last night I got knocked out in a hand that would have given me a top 10 stack. I was on the button and got dealt JJ with around 30k in chips, it folded to me and I raised to 6500 (the blinds were 1000/2000). SB folded and the BB raised it up (which I expected, since he probably saw my raise on the button as a steal) to 30k, which puts me all in. I call and he flips over AQ. Flop comes 8A8 and I didn't improve from there. I feel that I am going to FT and possibly win this tourney sometime in the near future, even with my first hour tables playing really tight and me only being able to get out of that first hour with around 4k in chips the last 2 nights, I have still managed to get as deep as I have.

Well, that is about it for now. I am still in Texas spending time with my grandmother in her last few days/weeks. I am going to have to get back to Tennessee sometime in the near future to meet up with a lawyer to put in my next appeal for my disability claim, the next step is a hearing. Hopefully things will work out. I also started on a new drug which has started to give me a more better days bad days. But I still am not in any condition to return to work.

GL to all on the felt,
