Today was a disaster in the cash games, so I called it quits just half an hour in when one of my bluffs got picked off and I was set over setted that turned into a boat for me but quads for the other dude. That was a qiuck and painfull way to lose $319, but we all know how poker works.

Im also in a $5 rebuy on Stars right now. Im sitting on a 10k stack and we are only half way into the first hour. I would have a little more but I could not find the damn rebuy button when the game started and I doubled up my 1500 chips stack on the first hand.

I pulled out another $700 because I now have that ability, but as soon as Christmas is over I am done pulling money out for at least 3 weeks.

I am taking another trip to Florida in the beginning of March. This one is going to be for ten days, three of which I will be in Orlando, and the other seven in Port Saint Lucie. It will be another drinking fest with many nights spent drooling and crawling around on the floor and many days sleeping. In otherwords it'g going to be a f*cking blast.

Current Bankroll- A little over 10K

I am starting to get sick of Full Tilt. In 43K hands I have been on the losing end of set over sets 13 times. Unless my math is wrong this is an absurdly high amount. Today I was involved in a hand that was set over set over set. I had middle set and bye bye stack.

I am only running at 3.95 PTBB/100 in these 43K hands and I KNOW that it would be way higher if the set over set hands were just erased. I am quite sick of Full Tilt.

I only lost a buy in today, and I made $534 yesterday, so I have no problems in the bankroll department.

I have been playing some bad poker, taking stupid beats, and running like shit for a nice loss of around $1,100. I pulled some more money out, and boy oh boy, I can't wait to pay taxes. It's gonna be fun. I think I am going to take a week off of poker. Im kind of sick of it at the moment.

I just orderd the E 950 Epic Elliptical Cross Trainer from Costco. I work out on my Boflex between four and six days a week, and I figured I would get this because it was $200 off, and I don't do enough cardio type work outs. Half an hour to an hour on this thing everyday and I sould be in the best shape of my life in half a year or so.

I have also been tobacco free for almost four months now. I had wanted to quit for about two years and I finaly did it. Cold turkey... The only way to go. Thats about all I have to say today.

shitty run but congrats on this awesome comeback run. for a long time i didn't think i'd see you back.

now i think you're gonna do just fine.

Thanks Kenny. I hope I keep doing just fine.

I had my first losing week in I don't know how long. I only played 13 hours because I was running so bad and playing so bad. It was almost a $1,100 downswing of a week but I ended things on a good note when I made close to $400 today in an hour. I quallified for the Iron Man Freeroll again on Full Tilt, so that will be a nice boring tourney to play in while I am playing cash games. Im still waiting for the Christmas present I bought myself to show up. Until then I will keep on grinding.

Okay, Im back. I only played two and a half hours last week and I lost around $30, so I guess you could say that this year is off to a slow start. I was planning on knocking out that Poker Stars bonus today but I had such a good first hour that I decided to call it a day up $550.

My cross trainer made it here five days ago and I have used it three times. It is a great workout and I plan on using it five days a week till I drop about thirty pounds, then I will just continue to use it.

My goals for the year are to put in 20 hours a week playing poker and to lose thirty pounds by June. I also want to stay a non smoker and cut down on drinking. My liver probably doesn't like alcohol as much as me.

So far I am 1/20th away from being done with my poker goal for week 2.

As good as yesterday was I thought I was off to a good 2007. But that was yesterday and today was filled with shitty beats. I got my money in as a favorite a total of five times and I only won once, and that was KK vs QQ all in preflop.

My AA got beat by 78 buy some idiot short stack that hit his open ender on the river. Bye bye $78.

I had 52 in the BB and flopped top and bottem pair. I led out for a pot sized bet and my wack job opponent pushes for $84 more. He had A7s for two overs and the flush draw and hit the flush on the river. Bye bye $90.

I had 56s in the CO and raised it to $10 and got called by the short stack button with a 78% vpip. Flop comes QQ6 and we get it in and I lose to a runner runner flush. Bye bye $50.

And my favorite hand took place a few hands after the KK vs QQ hand on the same table. I get 55 in the SB. Two people limp in and I complete the SB and the BB checks. The flop comes down 5[h]K[s]2[s]. I lead out for $6 into an $8 pot. The BB raises to $14. The BB is a decent player and I don't want to give him any free cards. He could have a flush draw a K or two pair or 22. The two limpers fold and I repop to $42. He thiks for a while and calls. The turn is a K and Im thinking BINGO I've got him. He is aggressive so I check thinking he will bet any K. He bets $80 into a $89 pot. I push all in and he insta calls with K5. Bye bye $234.

And I lost over $100 with AK with failed CBs.

I f*cking love this game. I made $150 more last night in a heads up 20+2 shoot out, so it softens the impact of todays $427 losing day a bit. Also, I have cleared 3/4 of the Stars bonus. I dont know why but I don't like Stars, and I can't wait to get back to Full Tilt where I have a good read on all the regulars.

And the good fortune continues. I was set over setted today twice for full stacks. Looking over my database I played just about every hand perfectly. That is probably the reason I am only down $119. I finished up with the bonus and I am saying good fvcking bye to Poker Stars. Not completely though. I will still play in their deep stack tourneys. But still fvck em.

Day one back at Full Tilt was a good one. I only managed to get in an hour because I am a lazy piece of shit, but I scraped together a $200 session and my rakeback came in for a little over $500.

I wont be able to get anymore hours in this week because I am heading up to Washington to watch the Seahawks play at my brothers house. He has no internet because all he can get is dial up in his kneck of the woods. He is a computer programmer and he refuses to use dial up. I might run into town to use wifi to play in the iron man freeroll but if I miss it oh well. I pulled out $400 for this weekend so I should have a pretty damn good time.

I am not doing that great of a job keeping up with my goals for 2007. Ive made about two grand so far this month, but I have only played a total of 12 hours and $500 of the money made came from rakeback.

I love playing in tournies, so one of my new plans is to have a tourney going while I am playing in cash games. That way I will spend more time playing cash games because of how long the tournies last.

The tournaments I will play in are almost all on Stars because their format is so much better than Full Tilt, but I might play in the occasional Full Tilt DS tournies.

Here are the Deep Stack tournies I will play in on Stars every week with $10 games being a maybe:

1. Monday 6:15pm No Limit Hold'em $30+$3 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

2. Wednesday 6:15pm No Limit Hold'em $20+$2 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

3. Saturday 12:00pm No Limit Hold'em $10+$1 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

4. Saturday 6:15pm No Limit Hold'em $30+$3 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

5. Saturday 7:15pm No Limit Hold'em $100+$9 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

6. Sunday 12:00pm No Limit Hold'em $10+$1 5,000 chips, 30 minute blinds

I also want to start playing in the $3, $5, and $10 rebuys regularly and hopefully get a big cash one of these days.

Life still sucks because I don't want to do anything else but be a lazy poker player, and I really don't want to cash out my roll and start playing live. The nearest casino is a little over an hour away, and they only have one or two NL games running at a time. One of them is 400nl and the other is 1000nl. Maybe I will be making the move to Vegas soon. I could think of ways that my life could be worse, so even though life sucks it aint too bad.
