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.
