Heading to Borgata
by Doylestown on 01/10/08
Reservations are set and I’ll be heading to Borgata next Tuesday morning with a return home Sunday to hopefully watch the Giants in the NFC Championship game (one can dream right?). Not yet sure if I’ll be able to make it back for the 2nd week of the WPT events, one step at a time.
This should be another fun trip. My best friend who also happens to be my long time business partner is planning to arrive on Wednesday night and stay thru the weekend. In addition, a couple of other friends from the old home game I hosted will also be there during the week. I’m really looking forward to the trip.
Borgata runs a great tournament from top to bottom. I’ll likely skip the $300 event (donkfest) on Tuesday and get settled in. The rest of the week there will be a $500, $750, $1000 and a $1500. I’m currently wrestling with where to spend my time while I’m not in a tournament. The cash games should be hopping but when the WPT is in town it is about the only time of year that the single table tournaments are worth playing because they actually fill up fairly quickly. I despise waiting around. I guess I’ll just see where my mood takes me.
Online Update
Last year wrapped nicely with a couple of solid finishes in $50 (4th) and $100 (chop) freeze outs on Stars. My late year cashes were worth about 10K for my final week of play in 07. December was another solid month at the cash tables too. I netted approximately 18 buy ins.
Unfortunately 2008 is not off to a good statistical start. I’m stuck 7 buy ins at the cash tables. A few days ago it was double that, I’ve since cut that number in half.
I’m also mired in a MTT slump. It’s really no big deal even though it never feels good while you’re going through it. I long ago learned to look at the big picture and accept the variance that accompanies this game which we choose to play. If anything I’ve been reading and studying more and have no doubt that I’ll break out soon enough.
About the only positive thing I can say is that on the last day I played tournaments I finished 12th in a $120 Knockout on Full Tilt. The way things have been going on that site 12th place felt equivalent to winning a bracelet lol. It’s so important to my overall online expectations that I find success on that site. I can only hope that the tide will soon turn.
Not sure if I’ll update again before I leave for Borgata but will try to do so from the road if I can. xxrod17xx post a note telling me where you’ll be dealing at Borgata and I’ll try to find you and say hello. Best of luck at the tables guys.
