Live Poker

After some creative juggling I’ve found a way to get some time off and I’ll be using it to head down to Atlantic City next week. The WSOP Circuit is coming to town at Harrah’s. Since beggars can’t be choosers I’ll have to settle for some of the preliminary events as my schedule only allows me to get away the early part of the week and the 1K and Main Events don’t start until the latter part of the week. Maybe it’s for the best as I haven’t played any live poker in 6 months. My plan is to play a couple or three of the $500 events at Harrah’s and some NL cash at The Borgata where I’ll be staying during my trip. The structure for the $500 WSOP Circuit events is decent at best. They don’t hold a candle to what The Borgata offers structure wise when the WPT comes to town a couple of times a year. The Borgata WPT next heads this way in January so I’ll use this trip to shake off the rust and prepare me for some nice events next month. The Borgata has internet access in their rooms so if anything interesting is happening down there and I can drag myself away from the tables (not likely) I may send in an update from dreary AC in wintertime.

Online Tournaments

I’ve gotten 3 days of play in this month already which is pretty good for me. I’m pleased with how I’m playing right now. I’ve had a few really horrible things happen during bubble time but such is life in these things. Despite that, I still managed to Final Table the Stars $109 and the Stars $50 Rebuy this week. Unfortunately the cards weren’t kind at or leading to the Final Tables and I only managed to cash for about $3K which is pretty disappointing. I may try to squeeze in one more session before I leave for Atlantic City.

Online Cash

December has picked up where November left off. I’m definitely running hot right now and I’m doing my best to enjoy it because I know winning streaks eventually come to an end. Through the 5th I’m already up 9 buy ins for the month, sweet.

The Football Giants

OK I nearly broke my big screen last Sunday before they pulled off that miracle 4th quarter comeback. As if the G-men needed any more bad news, Ron Ward who had a career high rushing day broke his leg and is gone indefinitely. A few weeks ago Harlem mentioned that I should keep an eye on the Giants rookie running back, I assume he meant Bradshaw. Looks like we may be down to the rookie and Reuben Droughns unless Jacobs returns from his hamstring injury. Big Blue heads into my neck of the woods this week to take on the Eagles in what should be a tough cold weather NFC East game. Wonder if there is anyplace cool to watch the game at The Borgata? If so I may decide to leave for AC Sunday morning, if not I’ll leave after the game and get in Sunday night. Any AC regulars know? I've been there a million times but am usually too consumed in the poker room to notice.

Looking forward to an update from dreary A/C. Live poker (as opposed to online) should always be respected and I still find it lots of fun. As for online playing, 3k is 3k, so, what the hey, good job. As for line cash, sounds like you're hot there.

Good thing about game vs the purple and black was that Manning brought the team back so the NY media should give him a break. Great win today against the birds playing in that hostile environment. The Eagles were playing for pride and almost pulled it out. Jacobs looked rusty, I hope he can stay healthy. Back to Manning for a second, there's no alternative this year, so the media really should just relax. What do they want, the hefty lefty to come off the bench?
