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,
Merch

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.

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!!
