300th Post

I actually don't have anything to say.  I happen to go over to the Dashboard and noticed this is my 300th post since I started this journal/blog about 17 months ago.  It's interesting to go back and look at previous posts, and at least to me, I can certainly identify where I was then, and where I think I am now.  

So I'll ramble this post, just whatever pops into my head, and see where that takes me....

Poker has been my hobby now for at least the last 4 years or so.  Where I use to read every single bit of poker related news, watch all the tv shows and of course read all the online poker sites and blogs, I have certainly slowed down quite a bit on that front.  

I'm still putting in a good volume of MTT's, and still have my one goal of one of these days hitting a big score.   I think I am certainly now very capable of achieving that goal, I just need to get it done.  

I've started taking shots at some of the daily $150 buy-in tourny's, and of course I'm still plugging away at the Sunday FT weekly main event, although this year, I've put up some real stinkers in that tourney.  Luckily, I don't think I've bought in, as satelliting into the tourny is about the easiest thing to do on FT.  Sometimes I'll go for the challenge, my personal best was 8 seats, but that doesn't come close to what some of the regular's do.  I think the leader this week is already at 11!

I think the one thing I still struggle with is I'm somewhat impatient.  In the heat of battle I sometimes let that get the best of me, and I wind up getting involved in hands I should not have been playing in the first place.  When I review my sessions, I certainly focus more on where I lost key hands, than the ones I win.  Not that the latter aren't important, they are, but I feel I make up more ground in analyzing the input data dynamics of hands I lose, than those I win.  At least that's my personal feeling on that subject.  

As for the BBT4, I have yet to win an event.  I came close on Sunday, just unlucky I suppose.  I certainly would like to win one, as that would keep my streak going.  I have won at least one event, in every BBT thus far.  I think the series is about the half way point, so we'll see if I can get it done.  I was reading on TJ's blog yesterday, something about lost cowboys.  TJ???? WTF are you talking about??? Hush!!!!!  ;-)  

As for general blogger-world observations, it sure has been lacking some drama!  Last few years there were some pretty good soap-opera like stories floating around, but certainly seems like that's all but gone.  There are still a few blogs out there, where actual poker content is being dished out.  But I think we've seen plenty of the blogs talk more about politics, the economy or other non-poker related subjects as of late, which is ok, after all everyone's blog is there own, and they can post whatever the hec they want.  

If your a Cardrunners member, they have a bunch of blog posters on there as well who talk plenty of poker hands, analysis and discussion included.  You can pay for the subscription with FTP points, which is what I always do, so FYI if you didn't know.

As for the WSOP, I am once again on the fence about going.  I have absolutely no idea why I have not gone as of yet, other than I'm lazy.  To think I rather stay home and play online, really boggles my mind.  Especially since I love going to Vegas, and once I'm in the casino, I'm very excited to play live.  At any rate, I am playing the weekly freeroll, started a couple of weeks ago, as I didn't even realize that Ft was running that promotion.  For those that don't know, Fulltilt has the Race To The Main Event, check it out under promotions, in the cashier. 

They have several ways to get to the Final on Sunday, I just buyin directly by earning 3000 pts in a week.   If you search my name, you'll see I'm already register for Sundays tournament.  They usually have 8 seats to give away, and they get about 400+ runners or so.

So, if I happen to win, I've told myself I'm going, and not taking the cash.  We'll see, first things first obviously.  

Ok, well I suppose that's enough of a ramble for now.  

Mookie tonight, as always, looking to see if I can win #3.
