Getting caught up

I've just been going and going since my last post. I finished up my week away, got home and was right back to work. Things have been going fairly well as of late with work. I've had enthusiasm again, which I think has put me in the right place at the right time. Just the other day, I picked up a late 18th Century chest of drawers for $600. With some basic conservation that I've started on, it is really going to sail for me. The quality and rarity of the work in it is incredible. At minimum I should be able to get $6,000 for it. However there is a chance, which I feel is greater than 50%, that it could be much more special than I previously thought. Meaning into the $20,000+ range. I'll start to get a better idea over the next couple of months of research. I've seen related examples before, I just have to figure out where.

Started playing primarily NLHE lately and been having a good bit of success. I'm just going to gring $25 6 max for a few weeks to get the feel of it again. I must admit though, I've been pretty much killing it. Up about 14 buyins over a week period, probably about 3K hands. I know it's a small sample, but I've just felt extremely comfortable and confident. I don't really feel I'm running hot either as I've had a variety of nasty beats mixed in. I've just been able to make the most out of my marginal situations. Making what I believe are the correct decisions.

I also would really like to get back into to playing more tourneys. It's not like I used to play alot of them, but definitely more than now. And I did seem to have success frequently in the MBJ events. I've played in a couple with little result. I need to find the patience and adapt to 9max soon.

I did cash in one last week, a $5 turbo. Funny thing was, as I approached the 2nd break, I was 5th in chips and about 20 away from the bubble. I woke up about 10 minutes after the second break with 400 chips and 3 away from the bubble(I think 24 were payed). After a couple of allins and doubles up, I worked my way back up to 3rd place. I ended up finishing in 11th after a couple of 60/40 losses. The blinds were so big it was just allin or fold. Still fun though.

Time to go.

Busy, Busy

I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Massachusetts trying to get caught up. Been on the road alot this past month with stops in CT, MA and Philly. Not too much time for poker, atleast compared to recent months

After my most brutal downswing then tiltfest ever, I'm back up to a reasonable BR, by my standards atleast. I still can't believe that I dropped $1600 in 3 weeks. After the hell was over, I picked up a few hundred in a couple of days, got my rakeback(nearly 1K-woohoo!) and was basically back where I started. Since then, I haven't been too active.

Bought 5 shares of LostOstrich for the FTOPS, I hope it works out. He'd been running/playing real well, so i decided to take the chance. I played in the Stud8 event with little success. I've been playing alot of it again, but strictly cash and I don't think I transitioned from one to the other well.

I love NLO8 now. Shoving nut/nut OTR is so fun. Been having fun playing NLHE too. Played a juicy home game last week. I love fish. Also, based on the crazyness I saw go on, if online is rigged, so is live.

Time to go to bed as I have to get up in about 6 hours. I plan on being a little more active in here again. I'd like it if my plans worked out.
