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,

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!!
