Online Grind

I've played three sessions or so since the last update with no good results. Mostly just played the scoop events on Stars. I've had some big stacks but couldn't put them to good use. Tomorrow is the 162 and 16 buyin heads up tournaments that I'll be participating in. Today in the 320 scoop event, I built up to around 24k early from the 10k starting stack but got rivered in a big pot to drop me down to around 18k when this hand came up. Blinds were at 125-250 with ante when I pick up A4dd in the cutoff and opened to 615, the sb called(who had rivered me in the big pot earlier and had been aggresive). The flop rolls out A84 with 2 clubs. The sb led out 750 and I made it 2555 to go and he called. The turn card was the T no club. He checked to me and I made it 3600 or so, he shoved and I called and flipped up the AT. River was a brick, good game me.

I plan on putting in a few sessions this week mostly just playing scoop events when I play. On Thursday I'm supposed to go the Reds/Mets game which should be alot of fun. Other then that my week is wide open. That's about it, take it easy.

Two Wins in One Night

Last night I did something that I had never accomplished in poker. I took down two tournaments on Pokerstars winning the $11 6 max for $2200 and winning the 50 cubed for $5k. Last night was turbo night on Stars, it was the only reason that I played. I also final tabled the $22 5 card draw turbo but it was only for $120 or so, only had 66 players. Last night was also the first time I've played since my last update. Just been taking it easy mostly. Mattster also had a good night making around 10-11k on the day. So things are starting to look up for team mattster maybe? Tomorrow is the first day of the scoop events held on Pokerstars. I plan on putting in a session tomorrow afternoon. I'm still debating on whether or not to play in the Kentuckiana Heads-up Championships at the Horseshoe in New Albany this weekend. If I play, I'll miss the scoop events on Friday and miss a benefit auction for the local golf course on Saturday if I make it to day 2. Well see how things pan out from now until then. Take it easy, later
