Bankroll

-130 -60

Played a 120+10 T at Harrahs this past Saturday. I was again really on my game. Did a great job of acquiring chips. But then I ran into an unfortunate circumstance. I knew the guy on my right was shoving all in light. I was waiting for a decent hand to call him with. At the 400-800 level I found it. ATo. He shoves. I reshove. A donkey behind me calls. I have them both covered. Hands face up: 1st shove had 89 in clubs. Donkey behind me had J9 in spades. Lol! Anyway and A comes out on the flop. But the river card gives the first shover a straight flush. Ah crap. The donkey was felted and I was crippled down to 3 big blinds! I was out of the tournament 2 hands later.

I then took 60$ and sat in a 4-8 game until Mom and grandma were ready to go. 3 guys in the game were celebrating a bachelor party and 2 of them won almost every hand. I left my $60 behind and went home.

Tonight, Easter, we went to the Belle. I played a little 4-8-12 half and half. I love that game! But not tonight. Couldn't hit a hand. I flopped a set of tens and the board ran out straight cards! I would start with AKQ9 double suited and the flop would come 662. It was ugly. I moved into the 4-8 holdem game and found a few juicy players willing to donate to my cause and I left the night with the same $200 that I started with. No profit. But more importantly, no loss!

There's always tomorrow!

Time is running out for me to put a bankroll together. In just a month the wsop starts at Harrah's and I am way behind on bankroll status. I think I will play the little 40$ T this wednesday with my local poker friends. If I win there I should be able to pick up 200 or maybe even 300 for an outright win. That would be a start!
