Since last week was really bad, this week had to get off to a good start. Decided to play a couple tourneys on Sunday and was out early in a bunch except 1. It was the 200k double deuce on FTP and had 11k runners. I usually don't like playing monster fields, but I used 4,400 FTPs to join in and read the tag line, "Bring $22 and a dream." I navigated the field pretty well and always had the average stack. When we got down to 45 players I won 2 big flips to propel me to the final 18. This is where I started getting really lucky. My 77 ran into JJ and I rivered a flush then my A7 outdrew AQ to keep me alive. I eventually final tabled and pushed with AQ but I was ousted by AK for 8th place and $3100. I feel terrible about my play because I knew he had a big hand, but just got impatient in a bad spot. I could have easily folded preflop but I guess I'm a big fish since I didn't. O well. Still a nice payout, but I really wanted the 33k for first. I'm going to grind a bit after class everyday so I can maintain my iron man status and clear the mid-year bonus.
In other news, I'm possibly going to the Horseshoe in Indiana on Tuesday for the day with some buddies. It all depends on my Spanish class's agenda for Wednesday. The poker room there is really nice and it brings in a lot of easy money from neighboring big cities. Only downfall is that you have to pay for drinks because Indiana state law does not allow for the free solicitation of alchol.
I've finally started to pack up my apartment to get ready for my drive home. I've planned it out and decided to go to Nashville for 4 days and spend time with my gf, then head over to Tunica on the way back. After Tunica I'm going to stop in Baton Rouge for a night and stay with some family, then finish it off all the way back to good 'ol Sugar Land, Texas. It'll be nice to sit at home for a while since I've rarely been home the past 4.5 years. Ship this job offer that I've been working on and everything should be playing out perfectly. Time to finish some espanol. GG. Shipshape
