I'm Back

Well I'm back blogging. It has been some time and I'm sorry I have left you all in the dark for so long. I have still been playing poker however I have changed gears a little. I'm now mostly playing at PokerStars and I'm playing mostly Double or Nothing Games. I'm doing pretty good with a 54% Win Rate. I will bring you all up to speed over the next few days and get my details posted to my blog. Yea its good to be back on the Fast Track!

SUNDAY TOURNEY LINEUP

I have plans two play in two different tourney's today. The first was a small warm up tourney with a $1 Buy In, 609 Players played and I managed to place 19th and in the money. My next was the same big tourney I played in last week ( The Double Deuce ). Again another 7000 people have put up $22 for a total prize pool of $140,000 with 1st place paying $27,232.80! We are currently into the game for about 50 minutes now and I have added to my 2200 starting chip count to 4922 and rank 771 of 4989 players still left. I will update my play and rank as the game goes on. Wish me luck. Ok so I'm feeling like tonight is the nite so I'm going to enter another big tourney ( $21,000 Guarantee ) 1705 players playing with a total prize pool of $40,920with 1st place paying $8,429.52. I will update you on this tourney as well. Ok I'm on my 2nd break in the Double Deuce and I'm doing pretty good. I had a great hand when my Pocket A's improved to a full boat and doubled me up. Right now I stand 554 of 2485 Players Left.

My Dreams of taking down the Daily Double just ended. I had set over set and mine fell short. Anyways I didn't do as well as I did last week nor did I make the money this week placing just under 1000. I'm still going strong in the other tourney ranked 223 of 561 Players Left. Hopefully I place in the $$$ in this one. Update at my next break. OK its another break and I'm still in the run. After taking a few bad hits to my stack I have managed to work my way back up to a good size stack. As it stand now I'm in the money and ranked # 69 of 144 with a stack size of 31,688 Chips. Hopefully I'm still in it during the next break. See ya in an hour! OK I have good news and bad news, i will start out with the good. During this hour I had my best hand of the day, see below pic.



Now for the bad news, I just busted out in the mid 40's. My hand was A 6 suited and I was in the big blind ( by this time the blinds were 6000 / 3000 and I was short stacked with around 25,000 chips. The play went as follows. Everyone folded down to the small blind, he called the additional 3000 chips, i check, the flop comes A 6 8 and I have two pair. He checks and I push the rest of my chips in and he calls right away flipping over k 8 for a pair, turn comes 3 helping no one and yes you guessed it the river brought another 8 sending me to the rail and winning $83.89. My only question is when will it be my time to hit the big one. See ya next Sunday!

THE $100K DOUBLE DEUCE

Came out of hiding for a little play today and had a deep run in Full Tilt's $100K Double Deuce. With a max amount of 7000 people playing in this tourney I would say I had a great run making it down to under 300 players and more then tripling my $22 Buy In. I may play this tourney again next Sunday and see if I can do a little better. Don't count on me playing a whole lot or updating my blog to much but I will jump in here and there. My plans are to start out in 2009 with a bang and get real serious about online poker. Until then see ya on the track.

STILL ON BREAK

Sorry it has been a while since I blogged my site. I have been on a little break, for the most part I have had to withdraw most of my bankroll to Pay Bills. My house in Florida ( On the Market for Over 2 1/2 years now ) is draining me. It may take me to the first of the year before I'm back to the online Poker Tables. My mind just is not on Playing Poker at the moment. With three out of my four children and my wife all having birthdays in the last quarter of the year plus Christmas just around the corner ( hopefully you see my point ) Its been all I can do to stay above the water. Juggling two houses and a family of 6 is expensive. Anyways I would not count on seeing anything big from me for a few more months. I hope all is going well for my readers. It looks like my Fast Track has Derailed the Track for a bit.

COMMENTS

I had a question from one of my buddies about posting a comment. I have this blog open to anyone that wishes to read and even better post me a comment. All you have to do is click the comment section where you would like to leave a comment, type in your comment, type in the word verification, choose identity Anonymous if you are not a registered Google/Blogger and hit Post Your Comment. Anyways I hope this helps to those of you that are new to blogging. As far as Poker goes I spent the weekend for the most part with my family. We managed to take a 1.5 mile hike through the mountains which was quite a accomplishment seeing we had our 3 month old with us. I did spend some time watching USCphildo play in some of the Full Tilt WSOOP Games. He has had a good run month and I do expect to here more good things about him in the future. Anyways I think I will take the week off from Poker and maybe get in a $26 MTT this weekend. Also one other item to add for tonights topic, is anyone besides me not using a program such as Poker Tracker 3 or Holdem Manager to help them play Poker. I read a article in BLUFF Magazine today that pretty much says if your not using one of these programs your already at a disadvantage. Anyways I'm not but I would love to here your feedback and honesty about this issue if you are. OK catch you next time on the Fast Track.

DEEP RUN

OK I had a pretty good Deep Run in a MTT Tonight. I placed 12 out of 1300 Players! It was only a $10 Buy In but a made a profit of over $140 and I also gained more experience playing in a MTT. I will most likely play another tomorrow night. I hope all is going well with those few readers that keep up with my Blog. I wish you all Good Luck with your Playing. I will Leave you for now but see you back on the Fast Track Tomorrow.

FTOPS IX EVENT #1

With Full Tilt's FTOPS Events well on their way, I can't help but get energized as I watch players play for some unbelievable amounts of Money. I did manage to play in this one event which I won my entry using some of my Full Tilt Points. I was knocked out when my Pocket A A's lost to A K when my opponent hit a straight. My dreams over in a flash. Oh well better luck next time. I have managed to add a total of 12 $26 Tokens to my Bankroll. I will start playing some MTT's soon. Anyways I will leave you with a short video of the final table play from Event Number #1. See Ya on the Fast Track.
