A week in review

4 weeks removed from anything that resembles structure in my life I decided to summarize the last week of poker. It has been an interesting week where I learned a ton.

I started playing cash games on UltimateBet 7 days ago after watching a few GP videos on Cardrunners. I have a new found aggression and understanding of the game. I am pounding people in position and raising with TONS of hands. I have been unable to lay down KK twice and that cost me about $219 total, but live and learn. I have earned $519 in poker and $136 in bonuses. Not bad. I'll be laying down KK soon enough and making even more money.

Today I made my first final table since the 180-man SNG chop. I played the $2K Guaranteed, $20+2 6-handed event on UB. 109 entries (just covered the guarantee) and a 1st prize of $654. I won a lot of pots early on with the dominating hand and got to short handed play rather easily. When down to the bubble (13 players) I think I raised 6 out of 8 hands in a row and made a huge stack. This lead to the greatest site in poker...

I finished 4th on a AK vs KK cooler but I was shortstacked and more than happy to put in with AK. +$221 for just over 3 hours of work.

My sports-betting career has taken a down turn. The Clippers, Barbaro, and the Pistons have all let me down recently. My bookie might break my arms soon--stay tuned.
