The cards just weren't coming and when I had a decent hand I was there was a monster raise or re-raise or both lol. Not even a chance for a decent bluff with all that going on. Oh well it was an experience and look forward to hopefully getting into another one but won't happen to soon. To much traveling over the next 3 weeks business and pleasure. <br /><br />Tried to recoup some in the Mookie but went out around 25 I believe, got a few pts finally for the BBT-2 but way behind. And might not even have much play opportunity with the travel in the way and time zone changes. <br /><br />Hopefully can get to the hard rock casino in Hollywood, FL for some live action during Thanksgiving week. <br /><br />later all.Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-42109082909726973702007-11-03T00:59:00.000-04:002007-11-03T01:11:02.763-04:00could things be turning....I hope I don't jinx this lol.

Got to get up close with dolphins in the open ocean and can't wait for the pictures to get developed. Lisa got in the water with them and got some great shots. These are not your penned up, or research site dolphins or trained dolphins. These are your open water untrained dolphins and was just to kewl to experience.<br /><br />The whole four days we did nothing but soak up some good fun, good sun, good food and great drink. No connections to anything. So stress free and relaxing.<br /><br />Hope to have pictures soon to share.<br /><br />Now after a 4 day poker break on to the MATH and hoperfully some cash :)<br /><br />LaterIsland Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-40385852820090781492007-08-08T22:47:00.000-04:002007-08-08T23:29:09.440-04:00been another long whileWOW been real real busy all month since the last post so I thought I would put a quickie in here.<br /><br />We had the great BBT freeroll twice actually lol. FT site crashed after I was knocked out but FT was kind to reset the tourney and set it all back to the beginning. there was some talk about the fact that those who were knocked out now have a second chance some made their point against but as kind as this group is and some very valid points talked on the majority were okay with it. I even offer to AL a deal if I should make the money or win it but he appreciated it but felt it was not necessary since so many had no problem with the complete redo.<br /><br />Still sticking with most of the regular tourneys with the other bloggers even with out pts lol. They are just a good bunch to play with and I am sure they don't mind me contributing to their winnings LOL.<br /><br />Well making this brief since I am in the middle of The Mookie and maybe just maybe might cash in it for the first time lol. Also, if I get whacked in the tourney gonna have to hit the hay since me and Lisa will be heading on down to Panama City Beach for a 4 day weekend of Sand, Surf, Jet sking, some drink and just a good time.<br /><br />No work laptop, no personal laptop, complete net disconnection for 4 days, ugggh the emails that will pile up lol but what the heck. Worth it, very much worth it.<br /><br />Blog at ya later when I am relaxed and sunbaked next week :)<br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Oh well donked out early in the Mook, 37th, thought I was up against a bluff ended up being a semi-bluff with my King high to WPBT Ace high and he got flopped an ace, but got a king but didn't get anymore help and just like that out and gone. Probably good thing, feel half asleep and gotta get some good sleep for the road trip. No Riverchasers for me tomorrow since we will be secluded like I said above :) . saves me money lol.<br /><br />laterIsland Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-86241005951307718162007-07-04T20:35:00.000-04:002007-07-04T20:47:09.718-04:00been a while..since my last post, just got busy I guess but the BBT is over and I for one say that I had a great time and look forward to continuing my play with the great bunch of people even if there are no points on the line.<br /><br />I ended up 12th in points and from my prespective i feel that is not to bad for a rookie in this type of structure. Heck if this were Nascar I would be in the final batch going for the cup in the last 1o races :)<br />Congrats go to Bayne for ending up on top of the leaderboard and taking first place. Everyone there was and is great to play with and gives me challenges that I need to hone my game, especiallly after Hoy's write up on me which I actually appreciate.<br /><br />I do look forward to being in the rakeback freeroll for nice chunk of change I hope to get. And until recently I did not know that riverchasers had a point structure and so far I am still in the running for a freeroll and have not played all the events so I kind of like that.<br /><br />Last Monday was the first tourney not BBT related playing the MATH tourney and I wish I of course would have loved to have cashed in it but came respectively close for myself with an 11th place finish, so my guess is that without points as one of the goals my play has changed up a bit and I did find my self taking more chances to chip up. Hoy may need to redo his write up analysis eventually LOL .<br /><br />Well time to get ready for the Mook tonight, since I have to work tomorrow and can't celebrate toooooo late, sucks when the 4th is smack dab in the middle of the week but WOOHOOO next year it is on a Friday, party weekend LOL.<br /><br />It was interesting playing online last week only for the fact I was in Houston for work and the hotel connection was not bad but had to renew the connection every 24 hrs and it fell during each play of the a tournament. Yes during the MATH, The MOOK and the RIVERCHASER event I got knocked off and had to go through the long renewal and restarts to connect back up . Needless to say once I was back on line my stack was greatly reduced by blinds and some ante's. So had to try my best to come up from the short stacks, yeah that was fun each night lol.<br /><br />Oh well, till later, see ya on the virtual felt.Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-14152841159070154302007-06-21T18:31:00.000-04:002007-06-21T18:34:08.944-04:00dang itFell short of the points in the mookie last night so slipped just a bit jto 11th, seems like my range is between that and 9th lately lol but it was fun last night with Buddydank Radio going strong with guest DJ waffles and he didn't seem to match his rants perhaps the mic shyed him lol.<br /><br />One more week left in the tournament and then onto the biggg rakeback freeroll game on July 25th, that should be awesome.<br /><br />Til later.Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-3984166907879856402007-06-19T17:52:00.000-04:002007-06-19T18:01:55.541-04:00Not so bad...but could have been better. I got knocked out early this Monday at the MATH and my parting comment in the chat was that this is one way to get out of the top 10 but after checking the <a href="http://www.alcanthang.com/poker/bbt.htm">BBT Board </a>I am right at 10. Phewwwwwwww. Still if I could have made the points at least it could have a small climb with about 3 others in the top 10 getting knocked out early.<br /><br />I don't know if it was what <a href="http://hammerplayer.blogspot.com/">Hoy</a> and written up about the top 10 or my change in play that may have lead from his analysis but BOINK! I was out early. Not upset about the write up and as a matter fact thought of it as constructive. I hope LOL.<br /><br />Congrats to <a href="http://opoker.blogspot.com/">Cmitch</a> for taking the top spot at the tourney.<br /><br />Oh well on to the <a href="http://mookie99.bigopokerroom.com/">Mook</a> on Wednesday and another chance to climb and hopefully cash.Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-30365186691976078762007-06-15T18:48:00.000-04:002007-06-15T18:54:45.381-04:00up another notchOne more night of a <a href="http://bloggerpokerchallenge.blogspot.com/">BBT</a> game and managed to move up one more spot from where I finally cracked back into the top 10 at 1oth to now 9th.<br /><br />Got a bit of constructive critism from the <a href="http://hammerplayer.blogspot.com/">Hoy</a> on his blog. Since I am fairly new to regular play, about 3 years at a slow experience curve I take the critism as sage advice. It is good to see how you are precieved by others for either reading you well or being convinced if you are trying to give someone a particular preception.

Took a hit when I held AQ suited spaded and the flop came up with K10 spades and played it slow for the turn and came up 10d and <a href="http://4dbirds.blogspot.com/">katiemother</a> pushed in giving pause to think and hated, really hated to lay it down but did.

At least I made it in the points each time I believe so I didn't lose any ground and gained a spot after the riverchaser event last night.<br /><br /><em>Finally Friday and why not a little joke, blonde one at that as well:</em><br /><br />A blond walks into a pharmacy and asks the assistant for some rectum deodorant.<br /><br />The pharmacist, a little bemused, explains to the woman that, they don't sell rectum deodorant and never have. Unfazed, the blond assures the pharmacist that she has been buying the stuff from this store on a regular basis and would like some more.<br /><br />"I'm sorry," says the pharmacist, "We don't have any."<br /><br />"But, I always buy it here," says the blond.<br /><br />"Do you have the container that it came in?" asks the pharmacist. "Yes," said the blond, "I'll go home and get it."<br /><br />She returns with the container and hands it to the pharmacist who looks at it and says to her, "This is just a normal stick of underarm deodorant."<br /><br />Annoyed, the blond snatches the container back and reads out loud from the container .......<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">"TO APPLY, PUSH UP BOTTOM". </span></strong>Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-51222014054231818822007-05-28T21:01:00.000-04:002007-05-28T21:10:51.342-04:00back to realityYes after a week off from reality or work whatever you want to call it it is back to the grind. This nice week ends on a good day my birthday and it was nice and quiet, had a great dinner at Lisa's and a nice relaxing time and I will end this time off with hopefully a good outcome on the MATH tonight. After last weeks tournaments I have climbed up a bit to 16th and hopefully upward from there.<br /><br />Now last week overall was good. Didn't think about work, well not much anyway althougth the work laptop is next to me and plugged into their network but for the most part did an etch-a-sketch on the brain and relaxed. Got up at decent times to make the days last, did something around the house I meant to get to doing, ran some errands without rushing around. Now I could do this every dang day lol. But until I either hit the lotto or the final table at WSOP (both about the same odds lol) I will have to grind it out day after day.<br /><br />Now on to the MATH.Island Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13751773879228633892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765452407338686653.post-80323115301903530532007-05-20T23:45:00.000-04:002007-05-21T01:21:55.215-04:00bubble bursting hurtsGot in to the big game but only costs me 6 bucks for a 26 buck token turned into a 75 buck token but still bubbled the pts so will probably drop out of the top 20 and really want to climb back up , way up.<br /><br />went over to the FTOSP to check on Hoy's play and railbird with everyone else. would love to see Hoy take it all<br /><br />We'll see.<br /><br />Newinnov just went out in 318, not bad in my eyes and probably way better than I would do. Cmitch sill in there on what he calls life support at around 24k but no so bad and anything can happen.<br /><br />Cmitch made it to 215 but a nice chunk of change to leave with and Hoy is still going pretty good at about 6 hrs 20 mins into the tourny.<br /><br />------------<br /><br />Hoy ended up at 101 with a nice take home pay just shy of 1900.00 not a bad day's work.

Out in 27th, nursing a short stack, Had big slick and blinds coming up so just had to do it and went all in and ended up against KJ to Astin, slightly ahead but that went down hill fast with another hook on the flop and no improvement from there. Dang Jacks LOL. They seem to get me either if Ihave them or others have them against me.
