SNG - Day 24

Well, the month is almost over. I played 2 sets last night. Nothing has really changed. I continue to have unfortunate luck; but am still remaining on the postive side. The one I did win was kind of lucky. I was sitting in 5th chip position with 5 people left. A huge all in by others and just like that I was in the money. I then won a 3 way all in and tripled up and the other 2 guys went to war and put in top 2. I then won the heads up challenge. Here are the numbers:

In other news, I have cleared two casino bonuses playing blackjack. The second casino bonus chase didn't go as well as the first one. I made $140 on the first one and only $5 on the second one. I will continue on ScurvyDog's schedule of big honking casino bonuses.

A re-ocurring conversation with Mrs Wonka is how to fund her hobby... scrapbooking. While this is a great hobby and she does a great job chronicling our life with pictures, it is a pretty expensive hobby. I proposed this casino bonus chase idea to her. She is NOT a gambler and I told her that it is easy and that I even have a chart to follow to tell you exactly what to do.. She declined. Oh well, I tried. For some reason, she doesn't like it when I say my hobby (she calls it an addiction) makes money instead of costing money.

One thing to keep in mind, too, is that even with unfortunate luck you're sitting at $435 profit for the month ($770 counting your wins from your more recent post).

Assuming I don't flame out today, I'm sort of in the same boat, as far as booking resonably solid profits for a month where I feel like I got smacked around hard by variance, suffering multiple downswings with no crazy upswings. Doesn't feel like it was a really good month, by any stretch of the imaginations, but the results aren't that horrible, when you look at the bottom line.

And I hear you about supporting the wife's scrapbooking habit. I even went with her once to an art supply place and was pretty baffled. I mean, sure, those scissors are cool and they cut neat little wavy lines but why the bajebus do they cost $27? They're scissors.
