Sopranos ,not much poker and family

I am not too impressed with the start of the sopranos new season.First 2 are in the can and would like to have seen more action.I really enjoyed the monopoly scene in the first episode.The 2nd one really dragged until the end when Phil was getting ready for some revenge.I hope it picks up steam from here on out.
Family is going good.The lil guy is growing at a incredible rate.He is going to be one big boy.It's crazy also how time flies even faster with a little one.
Poker has been more live for me than online.I made the final table 2 out of 3 times last week.Made some ok cashes.What I am really looking forward to is the 40k 225 buy in.I have to wait until the 27th of may for it.I really see myself going deep in that one,it's a pretty soft field.The ones I have to worry about I already know their style of play,so it's not to bad.I just have to stick with my gut and I will be good.Its when I start to get out my playing habits I tend to loose.The bad thing about it is that I will miss poker.com's 50k,its held on the last Sunday of every month.I guess I will have a buddy or my wife sub for me.Well wish me luck and see ya guys at the tables

FU NETELLER

Its almost the end on neteller doing business with Canada.Its a sad day for me as I have to find a reliable withdraw and deposit method.It looks like checks will be the only way to withdraw for me as of now.I have been playing live and been finishing deep in to the tournaments.Looks like I will be in my poker clubs all star tourney.You get points every time you finish 15th or better.It will be nice to play some real poker with this field.I am really looking forward to the 40k tourney next month.Its a 200$ buy in and is always loads of fun.
Family life is going pretty good.I am lucky to have a healthy lil guy and a great wife and daughter to boot.I guess it helps that I spoil em to death lol.Well I think I will play a little wii with the kid and play a few eagle rooms too.Yesterday me and Shakira were playing wii bowling and things got a little heated.She bowled so hard that she did a full 360 spin and landed on her hand.It was too funny,but not 2 her.Well I hear lil 1 calling me.See ya at the tables

Live,live and more live


Online poker for me has been 2 or 3 eagle rooms a day this past 2 weeks.But for live its a different story.I have been going every other night.I had some tough decisions and some bad beats as well.The last tourney I went to I got the boot when my big J A ran into KK. I made it 10k with the blinds at 1500 3000.I had 17 500 left after the raise.I went in to the tank for 2 min when the dealer called time.After he said that I was forced to call.When he turned over the big pockets I knew i was toast.The other night I had KK and I bumped it to 3X the bb late in the game.The girl came over the top and I knew I had the shitty end of the stick.She turned over AA.I will be heading back tomorrow so hopefully my luck changes

WSOP pre registration open.

I hope the numbers continue to grow for the WSOP.I would like to see if the gaming laws affect the field . I got this from Bluff magazine.
Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc., has opened pre-registration for the 2007 World Series of Poker, scheduled for June 1 through July 17, 2007 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino.

Pre-registration instructions and new participant rules – including a more liberal player-apparel policy – can be found at www.worldseriesofpoker.com, the official web site of the World Series of Poker.

“In recognition of the endorsement agreements that provide income to many poker players, we’ve liberalized our policy to allow tournament entrants to wear apparel with multiple logos and patches,” said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker. “There are some reasonable restrictions on what is permissible, but this is definitely a far more liberal, accommodating and player-friendly policy.

“We encourage all players and their sponsors to review the rules well in advance of the tournament.” said Pollack.

Player pre-registration instructions are included in Section 1 of the rules. In 2007, acceptable forms of payment include cash, cashier’s checks, wire transfers and–Rio casino chips including a newly created WSOP branded $10,000 Rio casino chip. These payment forms may be used to pre-register for entry into any of the 55 events scheduled for the 2007 World Series of Poker.

The 38th edition of the World Series of Poker will include bracelet tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1,000 to $50,000. The buy-in for the WSOP Main Event – the No-Limit Hold’Em World Championship – will remain at $10,000. The schedule of events can be found at www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

A new way and Live

I have decided to try out something new in Poker.I was playing the 1500 re-buy when I thought of it.I finished 8th and made about the same I would of in a 10$ 6 man SNG.I thought wow that was pretty hard for a min pay out.So I decided to try a week of playing just SNG's to see how I would do.My ROI so far has been 75%.I am pretty happy with my performance and with my bankroll's growth.
I hit my live game last night.I did not fair too good.I played no hands for the first hour,nothing playable.I was going to call on my button with J 4 of spades but decided against it.I would of made a flush,with the loose guys raising it up I would of made a nice amount. Now to the hand of my down fall.I get dealt 44 with the blinds at 100 200 and smooth call with 2 others.The flop comes 2 h 3 s 4 h . I am so so on the flop.1st position makes it 2500.2nd position goes in the tank for 2 min.He shakes his head and mucks his hand.I take 5 seconds to announce raise all in.The guy dose not think about it and counts out his chips and puts them in the middle.I ask him '' do you have the nuts?''He says ''Yes''. I was like 5 6?He said no and turns over As Ah. I like my chances and I don't. He can hit the 5 or the A, so I am looking at 6 outs.The turn brought a 7 of Hearts. ''shit more outs I said''.The river brought the dirty Ace.I got up and said''At least I got it in with the best'' and left. I was not that mad but a little upset.I will be back tomorrow night for my revenge.
