PokerSavvy Tourney about to start!

I'm registered...
All my honey-do tasks are done.
Ready to sit down for the long haul. Even though so far there aren't that many people registered for the PokerSavvy.com Bloggers Tourney on Poker.com for a whopping $1,000! I urge you all to check out the Savvy offers. I've done a couple of their promos so far, and have some great Copags to show for it...and just got a $100 GiftCard to PartyPoker. Just for making some nominal deposits to a couple of Poker Sites that I would have been playing any way. Just do the hand requirements, even at some micro-limits and the promos take care of themselves.

Anyway enough with the plug for PokerSavvy! But really give 'em a shot!

Today, was a good day at work...felt like I accomplished some things, and got to pitch in on some relatively high level issues. Instead of beating my head against the wall. Didn't have to talk to Keith a single time today. Life is really worth living!

Rain held off today, and let the kids get in the pool, for a change. Even the wife got in after work. Tomorrow, hopefully it'll hold off again, but unfortunately I have to mow the yard. Wonder if I do that...and some other things if Big Red would allow a cash game for the weekend? No Points! Smaller crowd. We'll just have to see.

Tourney is STARTING! Only 36 registered, payout to top 5. It's go time!

What a sleepy day...

Just can't seem to "wake up" today.
It's like the weeks are so long and stressful lately that I sleep in on Saturday to catch up...and then I'm still a zombie throughout the day. Really shouldn't be this way huh. Did get motivated long enough to take my son to see "Garfield 2" today. Wife went to see "The Lake House", w/a neighbor. They just said it was different. Isn't that a lot like a guy saying that a girl had a "nice" personality? Oh well, Hollywood keeps crankin' 'em out, we keep showing up in droves to see 'em. We'll never learn.
I just saw today that Aaron Spelling died at the age of 83. TV mogul/producer, that brought a lot of TV to the masses, that even I've been guilty of indulging in over the years. Charlie's Angels, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, etc...
I'm playing right now on Noble, and have FINALLY moved back up over my initial investment. It has taken me a while after getting spanked for over $50 during an excrutiating session some time ago. I'm back on track...playing smart. Expecting what isn't expected. Realizing that at the level I'm playing at, "low stakes" these guys that push all their chips in after the flop, as a raise, really aren't trying to bluff, and buy it. They're just too excited that they've hit a monster hand, and don't even try to pull more money out of the rest of the table. Oh well.
I'm also waiting for a $50 deposit to CDPoker, that an affiliate site promised. Their forum wants us to be patient...but we shall see if it ever gets there. Also I signed up through PokerSavvy again to Poker.com. Points accumulate quickly, and 750 Savvy points will be mine, in a week or so at this rate. I also completed the Mansion promo through them for 900 points. I ended up losing on the site, but the points I earned allowed me to double up by buying a Gift Card to PartyPoker through the Savvy guys. PokerSavvy RULES! So I'll continue to send them my business, as long as they keep shelling out the Gift Cards.
I have to work tomorrow (Sunday) maintenance on servers, of a wide variety.
The WSOP is going on right now in Las Vegas. Maybe one of these days...(sigh)
For that I could stay awake...at least I think so. That's all for today.

It's my short Friday!

It's only an eight-hour work day today.
Tonight's my son's LAST baseball game for the season.
Tomorrow evening the cards will be dealt at my house. Looks like so far I've got 22 people signed up to play, with several newbies. I'm predicting another great time for everybody. Now if I can just win it...things will be GREAT! I need a major coup to take down, particularly the two points leaders Andy and TJ. You guys are goin' down!
I'm looking forward to the weekend, some much needed time off, of course there will be yardwork to accomplish and such, but hey, "Welcome to the wonderful world of home ownership!" I think I'm also going to sign up on MansionPoker.com this weekend since PokerSavvy.com just added them. The play through requirements for the 900 points look like cake! And looks like through the points system, that you can at the very least double your money. I'll have to keep you posted. Maybe someone will start listening to me on this!

Time to get back to it...gotta run,

No huge loss...

Played for a while yesterday on NoblePoker, but just couldn't get anything to come together. Thought I had a hope when I got A-Qsuited. Even hit my Q on the flop, but the preflop raiser bets into me, hard. I call, but the turn brings a King, and he goes even bigger, stupidly I call again, ONLY because one more spade gives me the nut flush. That didn't happen, and then he really tries to milk me...and bring it home. I drop out, and save myself a few bucks. Wasn't doing any good at the other table either. So NL .10-.20 two tables cost me a little less than $10 for the night. I guess I should be grateful I didn't lose the whole $40 I had on the line.

Don't forget folks the next points tourney is June 17th at my house 6:00pm. Should be a good time...just a few seats left, at three tables. Bring your "A" game kids!

I did well

Ended up playing going over to the Wellesley neighborhood Hold 'em Tournament on the 9th. Crowd was smaller than usual but there were 7 people there. We played two tournaments and I finished first in the first tourney and 2nd in the next. Walked away with in the neighborhood of $160. Now if only all of that could go into the online coffers! :)
Played a little online as well, back up a little on Noble, thanks to a killer hand with Queens. Got me right back on that horse! Still don't know what I'm going to do on Rodeo, don't know whether to trust them not to cheat me of my $25. I'm concerned that they might fold before I ever get my chance to withdrawal.
This is my long weekend, so I don't have to work on Monday...YEAH! SWEET!!
I need the time off to recooperate, at least that's what I keep telling myself. It's terrible to dread going to work isn't it. Current general atmosphere in there just isn't the best in the world, and I believe it is affecting a great number of good people.
I gotta run, Whit, wants to hit the pool, so that means Dad's Taxi Service is open for business.

Works kept me a little busy, lately

Works kept me a little busy, lately...and therefore haven't "blogged" as often as I'd like.
Let's see what's been going on?
Signed up on a variety of "free money" casino/poker sites lately. Giving up more personal information than you can shake a stick at, offering up my hotmail email address to the world as a Spam Depository! But hey...what's a Junk Folder for anyway?! Some have had some ridiculous requirements to fulfill in order to withdrawal, however one bright spot was BreakAway Casino. I cashed out $50 bucks after playing some therapeutic BlackJack. AND, they actually deposited it into my Neteller Account. Think I'm going to take that and deposit $25 of it onto a fledgeling site called RodeoCityPoker.com. Not much traffic to them yet...but man do the players out there absolutely STINK! The site starts you off with $50 bucks, that you can only claim by doing a minimal deposit, fulfilling the Raked Hands requirements, and being a member for 30 days. Not too bad. Well, I've more than tripled up the money in 2 sittings. These maniacs'll call ANYTHING. It's like they think everybody is bluffing! And I don't all that often. I would think that would be painfully obvious since I was playing VERY FEW HANDS! I'm just leery of the site being around long enough for me to cash in on my GOOD fortune. So, I've done my part to spread the word around for them, on the forums that I post to regularly.
I won't be able to make this weekend's tournament at Eric's since I've got baseball. But as luck would have it I was invited on Friday to another of my semi-regular games. Sorry gang...yes from time-to-time, I "step out on ya!"
Time to get back to it...I only get so long for lunch you know!

Online blackjack...evil, but a lot of fun!

I'm a junkie...I admit it. Man cannot live by Poker alone. He must also have BlackJack!!! I found this site http://p102.ezboard.com/bfreegamblingmoney awhile back and had dabbled with a couple of the links for poker stuff, but recently just a couple of days ago I returned to it, and started signing up for the free money deposits at various casinos and trying my luck out on their money...not mine. Some of you might scoff at handing out my address and phone number to an online casino, but frankly gang...they've already got my number! Here's the tale of it...I signed up on a couple of the "We'll give you $500 to play for an hour, win what you can." These I don't like as much, and they seem geared toward you losing it all, quickly, or making sure that just as the hour winds down, your "above $500" amount will be in the neighborhood of $20. This you can claim, after you've deposited a meager sum and satisfied play through requirements. Gets you hooked, but it'll cost you. The ones however that I like most are the ones that give you a coupon code or automatically deposit into an account for you anywhere from $10-$25. These sites are SWEET! A few of them very particularly spell out how much play time or how much you must wager before you can claim the money. I played BlackJack on these mercilessly! On some I'd finally bust out, betting about $1 per hand. On BreakAway Casino, Colosseum Casino, and 32Vegas...I'm up!!! In fact, I just got notice from BreakAway that my $50 deposit to Neteller was completed. Yeah I played on their $15, and turned it into $50 and they let me cash it out! I got Colosseum up to a little over $20 and they're letting me cash out too. 32Vegas I have up to $40, but I haven't cashed it out yet. I kinda like this site. Haven't decided what I want to do. I just started Windows Casino last night with a free $15, and I've already got it to $25, now I just have to get lucky and finish the play through requirements. These free money wins have been great, and will actually replace some of the bad beat losses that took a toll on the bankroll particularly on Noble and Bodog. Now that the money is hitting the Neteller account...hey, it's time to get it re-invested. Which poker site is gonna get my business? Who has the bonus plan with my name written all over it? Only PSO and PokerSavvy know?!

Oh yeah, if you haven't seen it already on the website, the next Tourney was rescheduled to a Saturday due to my son's baseball game schedule. I really do have priorities and heart of gold...hmmm, I wonder how much that's worth?

I'll be seeing you soon.
