Always a Change........


So on my last posting, I told everyone that I would be playing in a 100k Sunday guaranteed tourny on pokerstars. Well as usual, I did the opposite. I was talking to my friend Dylan, you know, the Big winner on the Sunday Million dollar tournament and he just said when he wins fpp(frequnt player point) tournies into bigger tournaments, he just unregisters from the tournament he won a buy-in into and receives the money is tournament points in his account. So I chose to take that route and had $11 bucks to buy-in to a single table sitngo. I actually won that and now had 45 real bucks in my account, well thats the climax of the story, everything is downhill from there. You know, the ol' bad beat story at a cash table! W/e, its over, but its cool knowing that pokerstars allows you to do that.


Okay...........the picture is so I can get a url for my profile. (You have to have a URL in order for people to see a picture of me in my profile, so by posting a pic is the only way to do so....its complicated and confusing...sorry)




The trip to North Carolina was just beautiful by the way! I couldn't believe my eyes. The Appalachian mountains have a smoky tint to them, hence the name Smoky mountains. The temperature dropped to around 65 every night, a little change from the upper 70's, what Austins been seeing. My favorite attraction.......the Biltmore mansion. Check it out, just unbelievable architecture and beauty. Van der bilt, the man who thought of the magnificent floor layout to this monster home, was a multi- millionaire businessman who made his dream into a reality. Can you believe it took 6 years to construct and finish this modern day marvel? Here's a link to the home, seriously...check it out for yourself...its crazy!!!!!

Here's a shot in front of the house.....

By the way, while me and Phillip were there, we went south to the Cherokee Indian reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina. Can anybody guess what they had there, yep, a damn casino. So to emulate past vacations, we decided to check it out. After getting inside we realize they had nothing but digital games, no real playing cards...WHAT!!! First off, there was no pokerroom. Second, the minimum wager at a Blackjack table was 15 dollars, what happened to the 5 dollar tables, were college kids!!! Lastly, screw their Wheel of Fortune slot machines(even though thats my favorite machine). Both me and phil dropped 40 bucks a piece on those stupid machines, we didn't hit jack squat. However, the old guy next to us is killing with already ringing in over 200 dollars while I was sitting there, thats crap! Here's the casino that the Indians just love taking money from people. I mean come on, online poker is bad enough but digital blackjack, may as well tell the dealer "heres fifty bucks for a donation to the casino".


Anyway, here it is...........

After missing both Jim's and Mondo's tournaments, I'm ready to start playing again. See you guys next week!

Congrats to FcMunky (Dylan Seaver)!!!

My good old college buddy at the University of North Dakota played in the Sunday Million Dollar tournament on pokerstars. He got an astonishing SECOND PLACE! $97,634.32 to be exact, nice job Dylan....not bad for a college kid. I think he said Nissan Titan when I was talking to him, thats what he wants to buy, then save the rest, SMART THINKING. Ive always dreamed of winning a large tournament and hopefully someday I will. My largest tournament win for 2200 dollars on royal vegas poker is nothing compared to pretty much 100k, nearly fifty times what I won. Anyway, maybe this next Sunday!!

Last night I played in a 70 FPP sitngo on pokerstars, winner take all which was an entry to the Sunday 100k guaranteed tournament. Maybe that somewhat of a large win will come, but on the internet, who knows. Anyway, easy win so we will see what happens this next Sunday.

I finally made it back to the Big O pokerroom this last friday. Pretty good turnout, 18 of us, all donkey's and fish. I set a personal record of 5 REBUYS...OUCH!!!!! Oh well, I had to get fourth to break even and guess what place I got.......4th, thats right baby...profited huge in the tournament, actually it was like i showed up to say hi and then left. But its always fun getting to play cards with everybody after a long week of work, well for some of us ; ) As for Jim, well, I'm sorry...actually I'm not because i didn't do anything, but hey ill tell you i may have made the same call. Obviously I had no choice but to push all in with top two pair in the big blind especially deep in the game like that. But Jim hit top pair with a descent kicker but was left with a pretty large decision. I ended up coming up pretty well with around 180 thousand chips after Jim's call, its ok, ill probly do the same next time jimbo. Anyways, we had fun, thats all that matters! See you guys in a couple or few weeks, heading to north carolina to the beatiful smokey range. Good luck on the next couple tournies guys and gals, see ya'll later!!!

Here's were ill be while you donks play next couple of weeks!!
