Bleh Bleh Bleh and Bleh

So, AI decided to go off for 35 in the Nugget's blowout win over the Rockets which propelled Frank to the fantasy basketball title and a disappointing second place finish for me. I hadn't lost a game since the second week of JANUARY. Very frustrating. But, it does come with a payout of about $450 so that will help.

Another bad day of poker yesterday with a roughly $150 loss. Mostly due to losing the following:

AA loses to 43s
KK loses to JJ
AA loses to JJ

AQ loses to AK
AJ loses to AQ
QJ loses to KQ

The last three all included flopping top pair of course. Somehow, on the last three, I probabyl managed to lose the minimum, which in actuality scares me because it shows how passively I was playing.

But, oh well, here is to another week.

Good luck me!

Big sports day

So, plan on spending the day watching the final round of the Masters and a bunch of guys that no one thinks will do anything but choke. I think 5 shots is too much for Tiger to overcome, but if Immelmann does not play the first 4 in even or better, I will take Tiger.

Made the complete comeback last night in my fantasy basketball final. I start the day up about 11 pts and have 3 guys playing today, including Lebron. Best bet is TMac against the Nuggets, because they actually look to play less defense than the Bulls. Frank has 6 of his 8 playing today. Best bet is this will be decided by some extraordinary performance...sure hope it comes from one of my guys.

Also, had a $100 winning day last night to make it 3 in a row. Finally had a good run at HU at FT. Made 3 BI's there and lost a bit at the $200 at Bodog.

Back to back winners and a long comeback

Posted another winning day yesterday...grinding out an $80 win for the night. Big hand was a complete suck out by me when I had QQ and got it all in against AA. Q on the river FTW!!

Fantasy basketball - my team, after being down 130 pts on Wed, has pulled to within 15 with 2 days to go. My best bet for improvement is Boozer or Miller. And Frank has Iverson at 89...and he has 2 games to play. Hopefully, the back to back will take its toll on him. At least I have made it close.

Attitude means everything

Spent the evening listening to 2 videos as well as playing 1 table of $100 NL at Bodog. Amazing what a clear mind can do. About 2 hours and there was not one tricky decision. Up 2 BI's for a good night. Still a long way to go, but a good start.

Deuces Cracked

Just signed up for it. Doing the month by month with no initiation fee. My goal is to watch at least 2 videos per week and also, if I ever start winning again, or get up my FT pts high enough, I am going to get a video iPod to play the videos on.

Only fell to 27th in the Bodonkey standings. Not bad for a second to last finish. I look to be 1 final table away from the Top 18. My guess is some of the bottom feeders will drop out as this goes on, which will make it tougher to earn enough points for those 5th and 6th places finishes that I am famous for.

Looking to possibly sat into some of FTOPS VIII. Now that you can turn that into $T at FT, I am guessing the sats are going to be pretty soft.

Bleh

2 sessions last night. First was a disaster as most have been lately. Dropped 8, yes eight, BI's to one guy playing HU. First was unlucky in flush vs flush. Second was not hitting a big draw. The rest was complete and utter spewage. That game is so damn tilt inducing.

Second session was at Bodog playing the 100s. Back to normalcy. I won about $50 which isn't great, but any win right now feels good. My plan is to play that until BR gets back to $2k, then mix in some $200.

I think I might do the Bodog reload. An extra $500 wouldn't hurt.

Almost forgot

Almost forgot about my completely forgetable performance in the weekly Bodonkey. My rivered str8 was no match for my opponent's turned boat. Nothing like hitting your "gin" card only to find out you were drawing dead. That has actually become somewhat of a theme in the last week or so. I have chased a bit too much only to hit what I think is a great card on the river and am forced to call a big bet and find out I was totally screwed.
