Might have just hit a 2 outer on the river

To do list, figure out how to put HTML in this blog.

I sprung an air leak on my truck today. Air is very important in a truck, as several systems operate on air pressure. The most important of these is the brake system!

Luckily, I was unhooked from my trailer and already at a truck stop with a repair bay.

Long story short, it's the air line to move my transmission from low range to high range. My transmission was stuck in high range, so if I'd been hooked up to a trailer, it would have been very bad.

I don't know how much it's going to cost yet, but I bet the total bill will be less than the tow bill would have been had I been on the interstate.

I'm in shock, will clean this post later

OK, Poker Stars has these Ante Up MTTs. The blinds are 5/5 and they stay that way all the way through. The antes go up every round, so it pays to limp a lot.

100 registered, 15 paid, 17 left, I'm in 5th.

Chip leader had been a bully. He was up to 50k, then lost a hand, and dropped to 2nd. I had been playing a great game, picking up uncontested pots, hitting a few big ones, very few medium or big losses.

I felt like Mike McDermott when Teddy showed him Aces Full.

Edit: Flash isn't working for some reason, and I'm in no mood to figure it out:\

1000 games

I've lost something like 30 in a row. I hate these. I think I might be hurting my game now.

I am still alive

1000 game challenge is still on. I got a bit sidetracked. Won a seat to AIPS this month, and I plan on winning my 2nd Banana.

We're relocating to Pocahontas, IL the last week of July. It's about 35 miles out of St Louis, Mo for those of you who don't know the area.

Has anyone else noticed Walmart's new packaging? They've changed their store brand products to look more like the 80's generic packaging. Fits right in with their recent ad campaign. Being frugal is in now. Guess I was a bit of a trend setter.

Not a lot else to report.

1000 games update

Ok, I've played 100 of the 1000. I haven't played optimally in many of them. Hell, a lot of them I totally donked it up.

Here are the raw stats, I am too tired to break everything down now, but my rail is up at www.getastake.com

Bottom line, $25 in buy ins, 13.28 in profits for an R.O.I. of 53%. I can do better. I've had some dry spells and some stretches where I tried different things. Winning one of the 90 mans really helped, that was a profit of 5.95.

I am on pace to cash out $382.80 from $250. I have been profitable the entire time. Cashing in my first attempt was lucky, but I have managed to keep my bankroll above starting level.

I was going to push all in on the first hand for the next 100 games, but I'm feeling really good about the 90 man SNGs vs the 45 man SNGs, so I'm postponing that.

Here are all the numbers, for anyone that cares:

Yeah

Ok, so I am 52 games in. I haven't necessarily been playing my best poker. I've been doing some experimenting and trying a few different strategies.

Starting Bankroll: $250
Current Bankroll: $256.30

I tried some 6 table action today. DID NOT WORK OUT. I was deep in one, with a huge chip lead, but got sucked out on when I had a guy dominated. Oh well.

Games 101 through 200 are all-in first hand, regardless of my cards.

Roller Derby tomorrow night!
