Hey everyone,

Well it has been an absolutely crazy year. Which is the primary reason I have been unable to play on any sort of consistent basis over the past year.

For a brief recap - At the beginning of the year I was promoted which required much more time at work, all the while trying to adjust to being a newlywed. As things started to slow down, my wife and I were blessed with our first child. 3 months later I quit my job, accepting another in North Carolina and...

...it goes. Sayings are famous for a reason I guess.

TERRIBLE day on the felt. I had horrible luck and never got anything going. I had very few big hands and when I hit them, I ran into a bigger one. After those few hands, I tried to make a few moves and got caught. And then it happens as it tends to do on occasion, the bad streak made my game suffer and I played bad.

Anyways, I am going to focus only on the elite games the next few days. I need to re energize and get...

During my last post, I was in a small downturn. However, I was able to turn things around a little bit.

I had mentioned previously that I was in a $3 tourney on DoylesRoom. I went deep and placed 19th our of 260 or so. I played well and ran my JJ into KK while I was a SS. I made a small profit of $7. I don't really care about the money, it was small in comparison to the time I spent playing, but I was happy with how I played and hope to win one soon.

After work yesterday,...

Here was the problem: No matter what I had, I lost. Had AT and flopped top 2, only to have KK call on Flop and Turn and hit runner runner for a straight. Unfortunately, that wasnt the only...

This post will be short as I am tired, but I wanted to get this up tonight.

While writing the last post, I was in a $11 Tourney on Carbon Poker. I ended up taking second for $400. I was quite happy with the profit, but I was upset with the HU battle. I had a huge chip lead going into HU play, but could never get anything going. My opponent kept moving all in and showing weak hands. I dont mean occasionally, I mean EVERY hand. I never had much of a hand to call, but I finally woke...
