Hey all (or just me....).

Well my run at TigerGaming is over. I busted out at Stage 3 with a third place finish. Still, I had fun and felt I was playing well.

It is funny with SNG's. On my regular site, I was losing several in a row. Then I win one and place in another one and I get back all the money I lost...pretty funny. At least I feel that my strategy seems to be working alright.

So Neteller leaves the US. Another reason to live up here in Canada. Seriously, I think the whole situation is ridiculous with the way the US govt is getting on. Now they are arresting foreign nationals who are no longer involved with the company in question. Pretty pathetic. The land of the free is no better than some of the dictatorships they are trying to remove.....

I've only been playing on weekends and that seems to be working well as it provides balance with my family. Seems like everyone is happy with that arrangement.

Anyhow, gotta jet and pretend that I'm working...slow day today.

Still on Step 3....and online poker takes another hit.

Hey.

Well I decided to take another shot at TigerGaming's WPT promotion and entered my Step 3 SNG. I finished 2nd and won....another shot at a Step 3 tournament. I actually played alright, let the crazies eliminate one another, and just waited for decent hands (or decent steal attempts as the situation called for). In fact, I got my money in with A-K, my opponent turned over 8-8...I got my king on the flop....and he got his 3rd eight on the river....ouch.

So Neteller and Citadel are pulling out of the US market. It doesn't affect me directly but that has to suck for US players for sure. This will make things more difficult for the average player no doubt. For the land of the free, it seems more like a dictatorship.

Hello again for 2007!

Hey folks (or anyone reading...if there is anyone).

Well, I've made some resolutions for 2007 and one of them is balance. Thus, I only play poker online on the weekends and leave the nights during the week for my family. I'm fine with this as I then look forward more to playing.

The cards have been rough in my cash game with several two or three outers on the river but that is life and I can accept it. Still have plenty of bankroll for my limits so no worries.

Some of the money was lost in SNG's so I'll need to lay off of those for awhile...at least on my usual site...but not on TigerGaming. They are having a promotion for the WPT championship in a few months. Basically, it is a 7 step SNG process where, if you win at step 7, you get the package. I got a free entry to step 1 (you can buy in directly to any step) so I figured to give it a shot.

Well, right now I'm sitting on step 3. Pretty cool. I'm finding the action to be pretty loose (and pretty bad) and have had no trouble winning or finishing second (which gives you another entry in the same level) 4 out of 5 times. If you are looking to get a shot (a cheap one at that), click on one of the tigergaming links on the right.

Later.
