1st week of 2006. Pretty vanilla

Bankroll 1/1/06 $1023.29. Goal for December 31 2006 $2050.00

Ended the week with the following BR:
Full Tilt $340.02, Bodog 103.50 (Thanks Pats and Steelers), NeTeller $250, PokerStars $40 and In Hand $260.00 for a total of $993.52 (-29.77)

I was off from work this week so I had a lot of time for poker and played some TOTAL douche poker for a few sessions bringing my Full Tilt BR down to as low as $250.

Made a nice comeback at the end of the week including a cash in the Friday 10AM 3500 GTD using my token.

I tripled up early when I checked a middle set of 6's and then called a bet and an all in and took down the pot. 666 vs KK vs TPTK. TYVM.

Played tight aggressive poker and made it into the money (Top 18). I lose a chunk when I make a SPFR with AK clubs and a ss goes all in for another 1K. I call and KJ > AK. D'Oh.

I then get A 10 clubs as the ss and push when my screen goes BLANK! WTF?!?! No power to the screen. What the hell is going on here?!?!?!
I shut the PC down and kill the power to everything and re-boot. I log on again (really need to ditch the dial up) and I get an error telling me my resolution is wrong and then it goes blank again. FUUUUUUUUUUCK! I pull the connection from the monitor and plug it back and the monitor comes on again with the same error message but now I'm back on Full Tilt and see the "I'M BACK" button.

I'm in the BB with AQ spades and click in to play. All fold to the SB who min raises and I push. Donk calls with A2 and a 2 hits on the flop and IGHN GG Die you donk. Finished 15th for $44+ but a win there puts me in a better than average chip position. Oh well I'll take that same situation every time.

Cashed in 5 straight 6.50 Bodog turbos (1 win, 2 2nds and 2 3rds) and won my 2 sweetheart teasers on Saturday and Sunday.

Then watched myboy FtheYankees take 2nd in the Bodog 100K for 14K! Nice.

Time to get to work and get on the right side of the ledger now!

20 days to CotterPalooza II at Foxwoods!
