Blowin some steam

So yesterday's tone was set early on in the day, as reference in my previous post.  Pretty much got the ole crapola kicked out of me on the river, above and beyond my usual share.  So to blow off some steam, I got in some cheap sng, and a few hands in...this happens:

Nothing like the poker gods really sticking it you, when nothing but a few bits are on the line.  

To put a nice ribbon on the day, I final table the Big Game last night, and was the money bubble boy.  Although not screwed on the river, nevertheless same result in this key hand, which pretty much just took the sails out of me once and for all:

And now...BREAKING NEWS....as I am writing this post, I just got bounced from the Riverchasers:

Yay me!

"That's Poker"

I came one River card away from earning a BBT4 win, and a seat in the TOC earlier today in the Brit Blogger game.

That's poker.

Congrats to Matt on the win.

Happy Birthday My Little Princess!

Our little princess Juliette, turned 1 today.  She is the absolute most precious beautiful little girl in the world!  Of course, I am a little biased, but can you blame me?  

Happy birthday honey, with all our love,

Mom & Dad

And another ....

I took at look at my stats in these again after this win, and I'm running at 21% ROI.  The fields in these are getting tougher, a good portion of the players are regulars, and this is also their ticket to the MTT Leaderboard, of which FT pays a bonus to the top performers.  These however are not my bread & butter, but certainly I've been having great succes in them.  I personally still like mainly playing Heads-up SNG's, and 1 Table SNG's.  That has been the 'feeder' into my MTT habit.  I do like to pepper in and play 1 or 2 of these 45 Man $69's, on a semi-regular basis, and will probably continue to do so.

It certainly is nice to win, as it gives a very nice replenish to the BR.  

In other news, 'The Big Gem' broke through, and finally got his most desired score, as he finally broke his curse in the Mook.  You can get all the play by play in an epic (read long) post today in classic Hoy style.

I on the other hand, continue my goal of perfecting futility in the BBT4.
