I've been spending more and more times at the cash games lately and have been working hard to build up my bankrolls. I had a big comeback at Bodog, then went back down some. That is the story of my life at Bodog.
I've been playing a little smarter at Full Tilt and have actually been coming out ahead most sessions. A little more smart playing and I might cash out a little from both places to augment my bankroll for my next trip to Las Vegas.
Freerolls, Low Buy Ins, and Blogger Tournaments
Even though they have been part of my poker diet since I began online poker, I think that I am, for the most part, through with freerolls/low buy in tournaments sponsored by my poker groups. They just get too frustrating when some dildos play the worst poker and seem to catch lucky cards. For example, someone has K-K and the flop brings an Ace. I go all in (geez - could I have an ace?) and get called by a guy who can't let go of his cowboys even though he knows he is beat ... until a King comes on the river, of course.
I think that the blogger tournaments are getting old also. Granted, I haven't always done a good job of reading my tables since some are tight and some are outrageously loose. I just haven't had fun playing them lately, except for the Bodonkey tournaments on Tuesday nights. I can't wait to find out what special deals smokkee is about to reveal. The Bodonkey tournaments seem to me to be the most skilled of the blogger tournaments. Maybe it is just a matter of not playing at Full Tilt and seeing the constant set up hands and river miracles.
Viva Las Vegas
With the worst part of the year at work now over, I will take a little break and go to ... Las Vegas! My brother, the King of Komps, scored us a freebie room at Wynn and a low-cost room at Paris. We will be going February 10-13. I plan to play a little $1/3 NL at Wynn, then head over to my favorite poker room, Ballys.

have fun man!
does Bally's really have a poker room now? Tina and I played there a few years ago and it was a roped off section near a bar.

The Ballys poker room is still that area. You are not walking into an ultra-nice room like at the Venetian, but you do get a freindly vibe and easy pickings at $1/2 NL. People usually play at Ballys to have fun, and if you catch a few cards you are sure to cash out a rack or two.
I will be in Vegas 10-12 - we have to meet!
You are clearly delusional but thanks for the comment at my place.
Have fun in Vegas and if you see any pregnant blackjack dealers, lay down 20 for me. I'm good for it.
Hey,
I saw your post on another blog and figured I'd give you a headsup about a WPT giveaway I'm running this year.
You can win a weeklong vacation in the Bahamas, training from the pro's and a shot at 10 WPT buyins plus $10,000 in cash!
The first satellite is held on Full Tilt Poker (a freeroll) February 10th.
Right now there's only 34 players signed up, the top 4 advance to a single-table semi-final in February. The fields aren't going to get any smaller as word of this promotion spreads. So if you want in, you'll want to play some of the earlier events to have less competition.
Hope the tables & life are treating you well, and I look forward to you playing in our WPT satellite for free!
