Back and Healthy

Finally getting back to being around and online, and it feels good. Hopped online last night to play, and decided to try my luck with a $5 KO tournament on Full Tilt. Ended up taking out two people very early in the same hand, which helped because after 2 hours I had only won 4 hands. I did end up playing for a little over 3 hours, when I finally ran my short-stacked AK into a slow-playing Q4 on a Q-high flop. A nice little 51st place finish our of 872 players, with 4 knockouts total, giving me a $8.00 profit. Not too bad for the first time out.

My health is getting better by the day. My blood pressure and blood sugar are both regulated much better, and I have lost 35 pounds since December, the last 20 of which I actually lost by changing my eating habits and starting to walk everyday.

This should lead to be posting here more often, and hopefully seeing you all on the tables.

Good day and good health to you all!

Medical Problems

I did finally miss one of my own tournaments this last Tuesday, as I was in the hospital after a series of small strokes. I went in on Monday afternoon and was actually finally released on Christmas Eve, having passed a series of tests for balance and cognizant thinking. I am currently on medical leave from work. I am glad the tournement was able to go on without me, and I will update the stats along with the $1 rebuy this coming Tuesday. I hope all had a happy and healty Holidas and please take care of your health so as to not run into the heatlh issues I currently have.

No Skillz Game results - Game Voided

Most people were on holiday from online poker last night, (likely recovering from the Winter Blogger Gathering) as there was no one signed up but me at 9:30. I am going to try to get a 7-Game tournament for next Tuesday, and a $1 NLHE rebuy for the 28th.

Good look to everyone this week, and hope to have a good post for you this weekend about the 3rd game in my WSOP tournament series. No post means I didnt do well!

Finally starting to learn to play with a little more aggression, plus following more closely hands I am not involved in to get a better idea how others are playing. Made the final table with ease, and played 5 handed for 30+ minutes with very little change in chips until we got down to 4, with 3 of us virtually tied in chips and the super short stack, who went out shortly after. 3 handed last about 20 hands, with the 3rd place finisher pushing almost every hand, and I woke up with Jacks and fade his OESD on the turn and river. Heads up lasted 9 hands, as I was chipping away at the 2nd place finisher almost every hand, and he pushed on the last hand, into my Aces! Small tournament, but it felt good to win one!
