"Sometimes you're flush, sometimes you're bust. When you're up its never as good as it seems. And when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on"I've been grinding extremely hard, in my opinion, the last few weeks, and its been going great. I ended last month on a great note. I was down all month long, and was close to having 2 losing months in a row, yikes! I had a great end of the month run, and finished with a total of $9,500 for a nice profit. I grinded for the TLB weekly, and put in more volume than I had liked to at the end of last month. It most likely cost me money, just trying to get my mug on the bottom of the lobby, stupid imo. I was running about 20 tables on avg, and was not playing very well doing so. I ended up getting 3rd in the weekly, and was overall happy about it.

The 27 hour grind I put in was on a Thursday. I started the day at about 12pm, and went deep into the next day, before heading out for New Years. I had some decent scores, and made some profit. I final-tabled the $109 turbo twice placing 6th, and 9th. I had some good scores in that week, and it definitely saved my month. Almost took down the TLB on Saturday on New Year's day placing 15th in the daily 40k. I was so damn close, and had a pretty damn bad beat. I know SNG wiz was shaking watching that, as he went on to win the weekly.
This month I have had a ton of deep runs only to come up short. I got 189th outta 37 thousand people in the 1/4 mill on Sunday. I flipped my top 15 stack with a top 10 stack AKvs33, obvi a 3 came on the flop. That tourney is so sick, and I was playing great. I really thought I'd be the last man standing, but the cards have a mind of their own sometimes, and things didn't work out. No sweat off my back, I know this year is going to be amazing for me. Its amazing how far I've come in just one year of playing poker professionally. I've met some great people in my travels, and experienced some things in one year I never thought I'd be able too. I'm very excited for what 2011 has in store for me.
I'm currently booking my tickets to Mexico, and trying to figure out some travel plans. I'm meeting up with some people in Mazatlan on the 20th, to stay the week in a time share. Its going to be a blast grinding on the beach, and having a couple beers. Last year AceQuad won the Sunday Mill when he was down there, I'm hoping I can do so this time! I hear there is just something about grinding on the beach, laptop in hand, palm trees on side, and a cold Corona in your hands. Should be a great experience. Extremely excited to get out of this Northern MN winter. See you at the tables all. GL everyone (except lol, cigaro).
