And so is the bankroll!! Thank god for Necco telling me to play the $2/$4 Triple Draw on Ultimate Bet!! Until last night I had not had a losing session in about two weeks. Of course, the gambler in me had to try out the $3/$6 game for the second night in a row and lost $150, although I won about $50 the night before. But I really played pretty bad, and those guys were a little better than I expected. I think I could definitely play that high, it's just my 'roll on UB just doesn't support it. I would think to play perfect (ie not scared to lose the cash) I would need about 2-3K. I don't like buying into the 3/6 game with anything under $300, but I could buy-in for 1/2. My buy-in might seem kind of pointless, but because the game is played 6-seated (and it is not always full on UB), the blinds go by much faster and I think you get tied to hands a lot. The swings can be pretty enormous in this game and the suckouts can be horrendous...but I love it!!
I did something the other day that I should never have done, and I feel sick about it to this day! Party Poker has BLACKJACK on their site now. They actually have had it on there for a couple months, and it was too enticing to have it on there so I figured out how to delete the files. I went for a couple months, and then I had to re-install Party Poker because I was having some trouble with my laptop. Well, when I re-installed it, up pops the blackjack files. It's funny, because whenever I go to a Brick & Mortar Casino, I cringe at the thought of playing blackjack. But, I have it on Party and I HAVE TO PLAY. So Tuesday night, I fall asleep on the couch after work. I wake up after my 1 1/2 hour cat-nap and log on to PP. Mo isn't going to be home until 9pm so I'm thinking i'll play some .50/1 shorthanded or maybe the $25NL. But as soon as I see that "BLACKJACK" on the left hand corner of the screen I click on it...deposit $10...and go to work. Needless to say about 3 1/2 hours later I'm up 2K!!! I logged off and just felt entirely sick and embarrased. I've never won that much money ever, and I don't want to tell anybody, and I feel almost BAD about it...LOL!! So now the bankroll is pretty hefty...the funniest thing about the whole situation was that as soon as I logged off I had two immediate thoughts; 1. SWEET, Now I can buy-in to the $1500 NL WSOP event. 2. SWEET, Now I can afford more WSOP Satelites!! What a degenerate! I actually came to my senses...I could really use the money for things other than my online bankroll, so I withdrew a good portion of it.
We got or new computer last night! My in-laws got it for us as an early Xmas gift, and it really is nice. Not top of the line, but perfect for what we use our home computer for. I really want to fix up our office a little better, and I am considering getting a new desk. The one we have is "OK", but I think we need to get a little more organized. Maybe my parents will hook us up. I know Mo doesn't want to get something big because we will hopefully be moving sometime soon, but I think we need it anyway.
Tonight, I will probably play some tournaments on Ultimate Bet and some Triple Draw...(but only if I get busted out early!).
I also plan on DELETING ALL FILES THAT CONTAIN THE WORD "BLACKJACK"!!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Playing BJ when you are supposed to be a poker player....TRAITOR.
Nice win bro. Mel and I have started looking for rooms in Vegas. My parents ALMOST bought a timeshare there this past weekend. We would have had free vouchers for a couple nights there had they gone through with it....but like most things, after some analysis...it was a rip-off.
Keep up the good work man.
BTW, I Final Tabled last night in a PP multi (30+3 LIMIT). Finished 9th, but was good to be at a final again.
