Well yesterday I didnt post my final results, I was to disgusted with my play. Im down and I also withdrew so Im just going to play tight and get some cashes. I play better when Im low on funds anyways so we'll see how it works out. Ill post todays results along with my November goals later today.

Another Horrible Day......So Far

I need an xbox back right away lol. Im so bored without my xbox that I play disgusting hours everyday online which results in boredom/bad play. I really should take a couple days off but we all know that isnt going to happen. Ill just grind my way through it, after all there is only about 3 weeks left until the xbox is back up and running. Down alot already today but wont put up numbers until day is over.....On a side note I saw the preview to Alien VS Predator 2 and it looks so sick. Alot of people didnt like the first one but I really liked it and this one looks soooo much better. Ill hunt down the trailer and post it later today. Anyways just posting because I dont have any tournaments for another hour since I busted out of BOTH rebuys in the first hour......thats right the first hour. Lost 3 races and called it quits due to extreme coolers in rebuys for two days.

Goals For The Rest Of October

Well Ive decided on some goals for the rest of October. I would of gotten around to this sooner but was out of town for a week so didnt have time to play. Anyways back to the goals. These goals are set for poker and nothing else.

1) Increase bankroll on Pokerstars to $1500.00 +
2) Play nothing higher than the $5.50 rebuy
3) Earn an additional 1500 fpp's (playing low limit tournaments it's hard to get alot of fpp's)

I know this isnt much but Im going to have a crazy November and just dont want to overwhelm myself through the end of October. Look out in November for......SNG Challenge, Day by Day Progress Guide (Sngs and MTT's), Halo 3 Campaign/Multiplayer Progress Guide, New Site Review (I join a site Im not familiar with and give my feelings on its software etc).

Won A Signed Phil Hellmuth Mousepad!

Well I thought Id post this now instead of when I wake up, completely forgot about it until I logged into railbirds and remembered. Anyways I asked a question for Phil and mine was one of the top ones selected and I won the mouse-pad. Its nothing special but kinda cool to be selected for it. I wonder if it will be a legit signature or one of those printed ones? I'm hoping its real but I'm sure it will be a print. Who knows.

Question was: Phil what do you think of the recent success of Annette Obrestad (18 year old female winning main event) and how do you think this will affect the poker community? Also do you think this will bring a pokerboom similar to the moneymaker effect but with women?

Phils Answer: Absolutely! Her win was enormous for poker. Imagine if Michelle Wie won an open tournament—nevermind made a cut—and this is what the impact may well be. Poker will hype this win, and it could be another “Moneymaker moment.”

Horrible Day......Going To Sleep

Extremely bad day in consideration to what I play, but the rebuys really did me in. Ended the day down about $150, just losing focus and not really caring about the money today so time to quit. Starting tomorrow Im going to start keeping a detailed log of every tournament/sng I play. I should be getting my XBOX360 back by the end of November and that will take away from the rediculous hours I have been putting in online. Lately I have been playing for 12+ hours a day and when I get my 360 back I can get that back to a normal 6-8 hour session. Losing focus = Losing money. Ill have my goals for the rest of october listed tomorrow whenever i wake up also.

For The Gamers....

For all you gamers out there Ill be following my progress through HALO 3 Campaign and Online Multiplayer most likely starting in November.

Getting Killed In Rebuys Today

Well today Im getting killed in rebuys and its mostly my fault. I am having major concentration problems and its affecting my play early on big time. I didnt cash in one rebuy and to be honest I can only claim myself. I was pushing to many hands early on and not changing gears at all going into the 2nd hour. Down about 125 in rebuys alone today which is a big chunk of my pokerstars bankroll. Ill have to stick to 5 and under again for abit as Im sliding under 1k. Im just going to finish the day off playing a couple 4.4- 180mans and working on this blog. Im going to start making detailed lists of everything I play and place in everyday to help people understand what Im talking about on certain days. I also will be listing my goals for November and we'll see how that goes. I have alot on my plate right now and am going to push myself very hard in November so hopefully everything works out. Details to come.

First Post

Well Im poppin the cherry on my blog and not much to say lol. As usual I can't sleep so I have been lurking around the net, and playing poker. Im new to this blog thing but Im looking to be very active. Im a 22 year old internet/gaming/poker junkie and will pretty much follow my disgusting day to day life. I will mainly be posting about my progress in poker and games (depending on the game obviously) but will also talk about whatever is on my mind (prepare yourself). I am by all means not a pro gamer or a pro poker player but merely a player who loves competition. In poker Im mainly a tournament guy playing small limits ($3 - $20) but also play Sitngos. I suck ass at cash tables and try hard to stay away from them. In gaming I play all/any games but love 1st person shooter games. Halo, Counterstrike, HalfLife, and Farcry are to name a few of my fav. games. So with that being said this blog will just follow the life of a gamer/poker player. Oh yeah Im also a movie fanatic.
