Long vacation....but I needed it!

So I took a week vacation....but, I really really needed it! I had a bill that I needed to pay ( a $432 traffic ticket) and I took that money and my family and went to Reno on Monday. Believe it or not, I did not play....much. My son and I stayed in the pool for a long time (the hotel at the Peppermill was free) and the next morning we went to Circus Circus so he can have fun. I played a little 1-2 no limit and ended up winning about $100. We got back Tuesday night. Wednesday went to a funeral (RIP Nicole), Thursday played in a $140 No-Limit tourney at Bay 101 where I finished 12 out of 56 and out of the money, Friday spent most of the day working out with a buddy, and Saturday had a BBQ and spent the night watching fireworks with the boy and the woman.


Today, I played 4-8 Omaha Hi/Low and won $136 and will go back home tomorrow.



In between that week I played very little on Full Tilt yet did make some money in combination with the rakeback. As of today I now have $2.000 in my live poker bankroll and $293 in my Full Tilt BR.


I am now officially off of vacation, however my daily routine will change a bit. I have herd that the Indian Reservation that I go to has changed their promotions for the worse, and that will change my schedule a bit. I will update with more info when I get back into town. The goal will be also to hurry up and get my live BR to $2,400 so I can frequent the 4-8 games and low limit NL games into my routine.

Very bad tourney in my decision making, however with only $25 in chips, I brought it back to over $2200 in chips only to have AA lose to KK. I finish in 50th and out of the money.



$5.50 NL Holdem MTT - 18 players



Started out good by doubling up, but I think the rust showed in me as I played to many hands carelessly and ended up finishing 12th and out of the money.



$5.50 NL Holdem MTT - 45 players



I also started this tourney good by doubling up and really played very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I played post-flop horrible by trying to win too many pots and not laying down hands. I finished 24th and out of the money. I need to get it together when playing these tourney. These last two tourneys I should have placed! I will focus on post-flop play!!



$12 Omaha Hi/Low PL SNG - 9 players



The game get thin fast as 3 players bust out in 3 hands. I do my best to hang on as everyone has 3000+ chips and I have only 1500 when we are down to 5. I end up getting pushed all-in with my open ended straight and nut low draw and miss. I finish 5th and out of the money.



$3.30 NL Holdem MTT - 90 players



I get away from a bad beat when I flop a set of queens and two players turn a straight. However, it takes a third of my stack and I struggle the rest of the tourney. Never winning a hand I go out with 1200 chips on top pair (10's) and lose to pocket jacks who slowed played the pair. I finish 48th and out of the money.



$11 Horse FL SNG - 8 players



Finished 4th and out of the money when a player called me all the way down in holdem with 4-5 to catch a 4 on the river to win against my A-10. It does not feel like my day today!!
