First Off... Money

Hey everyone. First, I'll start off by saying Happy Holidays, they sure have been good for me so far, and I have been really busy, both with playing poker and trying to roll out some new things. I'll talk about poker in this post and leave the other subjects for subsequent posts. So since December has started, I have been going positive just about anywhere I have played. On Bodog, I have been killing the $8 tournaments, making about $190 so far this month.

On UltimateBet, I got 6th place in a CardsChat.com member buy-in tournament for ~$18. Earlier today I also played in Joe Seeb's 1 Million Twitter Follower Buy-In because there was so much added. Huge bounty's on UB Pro's and big prizes if the final table was made. Well, I started off really slow, losing about 1/3rd of my chips in the first 15 minutes on someone going for a 2 outer and hitting it. I actually got all the way down to only 150 chips right after the first break and brought it back to 1000 over the chip average to 3500. A little later on I stupidly got involved with another big stack at the table where I had top two pair on the flop, Aces and 10's, and lost to the other guy's set of 4's that he hit on the flop, and that knocked me out. Overall, I was sure I had the hand, there were no straight or flush draws on board, just couldn't see him having that. I went out in about 350th place out of ~900 and it paid around top 160, so I was kind of bummed about that.

On FullTilt, I have been playing my cash games here and there and matrix games here and there. Not as much as I would want though, mainly because when I sit down to play a cash game, I would like to be able to play for at least a couple hours, but I can't always find that time. All of the holiday festivities have been keeping me too busy, lol, still in the positive though.

Also, I just broke another milestone, this month I passed the $1000 mark, so I am officially 1/10th of the way there. I know that it was definitely longer than a year, but who gives a fuck. I have a job that I have to pay more attention to and I have been able to make that on top of it, so that's perfectly fine with me. Well, that is all for this post, now on to the next.
