Quick update

The monday win streak is over.... but before that... played Omaha on Thursday and went with Lisa and Casey to Pechanga on Saturday. Both days played pretty well and got down into the top 10% but couldn't quite close the deal. Started off well on Monday...didn't need to rebuy but went out fairly early losing with a KQ suited... there were 2 hands earlier with KJ suited that I didn't call some all ins and would have won... I knew when I finally played the KQ it was gonna be a loser...turns out one of the callers had A7 suited and hit trip Aces... ah well can't win every Monday :)

Monday, Monday

so good to me, Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be.... looks like Monday is a hot day for me. Played Palomar again this monday morning and won $20 less than last week leaving with just over $300. I had Q's hold up early so didn't have to rebuy... had pocket 8's hold up late to take the chip lead and even flopped Quad 3's on the final table... oddly enough I had Quad 3's last week also but not on the final table. Into the black for overall profits for the first time since getting started...feeling good. Will let you know what happens the rest of the week.

Three days in a row

Well... back in the saddle... have played 3 days already this week... the Palomar win on Monday, Tues at Pechanga and Wed back to palomar. I actuallu took my 83 y/o mother with me to Pechanga...she played video poker while I was playing the tournament. Not muc to report as I went out just before the break... the blinds were 200-400 and I had about 3200 in chips. Three players limped and I called in the big blind with K7 spades. The flop came AK4 with two spades and the guy to my right went all in... I decided to call with second pair and the nut flush draw. I could win with any K or 7 or any spade... none of which happened and I was done.

Wed. at Palomar I never had to rebuy...thank goodness because they were only paying 6 players. I actually played pretty well but ended up going out in 8th and just missing the money. I think tommorrow will be Omaha at Viejas :)

A good Monday

Well, of to a good start or should I say restart? I decided to head over to Palomar 'cause I didn't want to travel to far. Turned out to be a good day there... they actually filled all 4 tables and had some decent rebuys. I didn't play during the rebuy rounds...actually only playing one hand which was pocket Aces and allowed me to go into the non rebuy period with over 3000 in chips. Went up and down a bit when the first of my big hands hit.. I had pocket 3's and limped into the pot with 4 others... the flop brought a 3 so I checked with my set and called a raiser to my left... next card off was another 3 for quads... at that point I should have checked again but instead decided to push and thankfully he called and I had a pretty good stack. I started to slip back with the blinds going up but I managed to hang around as we went to final table.. we discussed a chop but the big stack decided not to which ended up being good for me. I caught pocket K's and AK on consecutive hands to become the big stack... we finally played down to 6 and chopped with me getting $310 to everyone elses $240... no rebuys so I was only in for $20...not a bad day. Lets see if we can keep it up :)
