Hello everybody. Yet again, its been awhile since I've updated my personal poker blog, so today, the 29th of December, I've decided to give everyone some exciting things to read.
First off, a tilt monkey, nah.Mondo, I want to publicly give you credit for your play. In the hand that made Mondo crippled and also the very hand which crowned me as a tiltmonkey, I was holding 78 offsuite and Mondo AK suited. He limped ahead of me knowing I would push all-in simply because I was upset from the previous hand where i took a huge chip loss to Melissa. Sure enough I move all-in and got a quick call from the Mook. Flop gave me a straight draw but an eight fell on the river crippling Mondo. Again, nice play from Mondo as always! However, I got lucky, lucky, lucky and was able to win my second tournament of the year.
Between that and a couple second and third place finishes before my win, I haven't done much pertaining to poker, however, there is a little news that I want to share with everybody.
Justin, yes, the dragon boy, and myself are thinking seriously about moving to Las Vegas. Both of us want to become dealers. In order to do this, we must first get our gaming permits from a school out of Pheonix. It takes 10 days to do so but the nicest part about it, they set up auditions for you with casinos so that we can get employed full time with all the benefits. The guy from the dealer school i was talking with said that most dealers make 55-70k a year if their a multigame dealer meaning they can deal more than one type of game. Mine will be in poker and blackjack. Our tentative plan right now is to start out with a pretty nice apartment and save some money. I've already checked the cost of living in both Austin and Las Vegas and there both pretty comparable cities, so we should be fine with money.
I'll keep everybody updated on our plans. I hope to see everybody at the tournament of Champions!!!!
