Getting closer to Vegas

I haven't played much other than the FTOPS events with no luck since my last update. I've played PLO(pot limit omaha) cash games a few days this week with a little bit of success. I've been over at Mattster's house a few days this week watching him play and learning from him. I plan on starting to play alot more PLO cash games than the NLHE MTT's online. We will be leaving in about eight days to start the grind in Las Vegas. I've made out a schedule for the WSOP and Venetian that I will be playing. If you want to follow updates of me you can go to www.twitter.com/k_rock2525.com

FTOPS

I've played some FTOPS events on Full Tilt here in the last six days or so. The only one I did well in was the 300+22 on Sunday. It had right around 4200 entrants and I busted 22nd for $5500. First place was 259k, sigh. I ran 99 into a very good aggresive players AA for a huge pot, he went on to win by the way. I sucked out for huge pots all tourney deep though. I also went deep in the second chance on stars and sunday mulligan on tilt but not for any big scores. I plan on playing tonight which is turbos for the ftops. I also might play tomorrow night and most likely going to play on Sunday which is the main event for the ftops and that is a 500 buyin. After that though I'd say I will not play again until we head off to Las Vegas. It looks like we are going to leave either on the 30th or 31st, if you want to follow updates on me you can go to my twitter page http://twitter.com/K_Rock2525. I will be updating mostly at breaks or after the tournament for each day. You might have to copy and paste that as I'm not sure how to turn it into a clickable link. I'll probably update in about a week. Talk at ya later.

Been awhile.....

It's been around a month since my last update. I haven't really done a whole lot either other then hanging out and playing some golf. I went to the Kentucky Oaks on Friday and made a little money gambling it up on the ponies. I did some betting on Saturday for the Derby and lost some of it back. I bet a 5 horse tri and had the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishers but didn't have Mine That Bird at 50-1. It was a pretty good time down there on Friday and even had some fun watching the Derby on TV Saturday. I've only had one online session since my last update and didn't have any luck. I plan on playing this Wednesday night though since Full Tilt is hosting FTOPS(Full Tilt Online Poker Series). I'll probably play about 4-5 sessions starting this Wednesday through the next Sunday and hopefully be posting some good results. After that I'd say I'll take it easy until I hit Vegas for the summer. We're going to be driving out on either the 30th or the 31st. I plan on hitting it pretty hard this summer out there. I'm trying to get a list of events together that I want to play. I've been talking to Matt about maybe playing the Main Event at the WSOP this year so hopefully that happens. I also created an account on twitter today, if you want to get updates on how I'm doing during the summer you can follow me on this link www.twitter.com/k_rock2525. I won't do much posting until the summer I'd say. My sister is having a baby girl in June and they picked the name Mallory Paige Cockerham. I'm going to miss the birth along with my nephew's 4th birthday since I'll be in Vegas. That about sums it up, take it easy!
