Sorry if I am turning this into my own little blog... I bought into a $130 NL tourney at the casino tonight, 170 entrants, I played well but busted out somewhere around 64 on an interesting hand.
But anyhoo, cash was where I dominated. I played really good poker, and made a lot of money against decent opponents without playing my cards, just the opponent. And then I had 2 monster hands that I was able to milk(I must say I played these hands exactly like I needed too against each opponent) for everything (double up). I ended up walking out with $775 more than I came in with. Good night...not that great for some, like JD, but there sure is a difference between holding Benjeesss and staring at a number in the cashier window. Now my real life roll is able to take a hit or two and is growing into something real nice! Live is treating me well, and I have a lot more information at my disposal now reading actual people ...plus its a more social environment than sitting in front of the screen.

Well done!
Live poker is great. IMO, it's definitely more fun and I play better too.... it's slower though (less hands per hour), you can't multi-table, and they generally rake more. But it definitely does have it's appeal. I'm looking forward to sitting at the tables in Vegas next month. |

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person then!
You know, they haven't carded me once at this casino...and I look 21 but not like 28 or something, so I usually get carded. Whats the worst that could happen to you? They take your winnings? Or do they call the cops on underagers?

So I just got back from a weekend at the Grand Canyon, and it sure is Grand. I hope to post some pictures if the dipshit that sent my digital camera off of ebay sends me the USB cable he forgot..anyhoo, so Thursday and went to the casino, and after a couple of hours, 6ish or so, I found myself down $278 but still ok with my play. The only thing I was not happy about was the fact that it was light out when I left the casino, and I should have left with the fishies around 1 o clock. About 3 I look up and I am surrounded by regulars. Game selection! Anyhoo, I am going to Vegas for the Fourth of July weekend and decided to get my roll up for what I hear are juicy 1/2 NL games at many of the casinos. I will be going 4 times this week, Mon-Thurs to get the most out of it.
Anyway, I thought I would post a countdown of my roll till this weekend for entertainment and to track my progress with live poker. I started off with $360 that I invested initially. Way above my bankroll, but I was willing to lose it completely as I had that online to transfer to replace it if I were to lose it, and my job pays well. So with this in mind, I headed to the casino. I will try to keep track of hours spent there better from now on. Anyway, root for a big roll going to vegas! Initial Investment: $360 Trip1 [Jun10]:$-102 5 hours Trip 2 :$299 2-4 hrs Trip 3:$-146 3 hrs Trip 4:$184 2-4 hrs Trip 5:$175 12 man, $25 tourney win at coworkers house Trip 6:$775 3 hours Trip 7:$-278 6 hrs Trip 8 [Jun 25]: (today) $970 2.5 hrs Current roll: $2237
