As predicted, Lee is your American Idol.
Did America get it right? Probably not. Time will tell.
Crystal will be the bigger star.
Have a nice day!!!

Apparently size DOESN'T Matter
I was stoked to have my first outing to the golf course this past Saturday and then that followed by a home game. I did have a graduation party and birthday party in between; but that is inconsequential as it was bookended by Golf and p0ker.
So I get up at 5:30 and get ready to leave for golf. As I am driving to meet some guys and I start getting this huge pain in my lower back. To keep the story short, anybody who has had a kidney stone before knows exactly what that pain was. So, I knew right away what it was.
I still drove to the meeting place and tried to shake it off. No luck and off to the hospital I went where the confirmed what I already knew and gave me some good drugs.
Sure enough it was a kidney stone and it was a whopping 2 mm big. I'm not sure what that means in relation to how big kidney stones normally are; but it seems pretty freaking small to me. For something that small to give me so much pain in is amazing; so size DOESN't matter. I ended up missing my golf and p0ker. Now, that is a bad beat in my opinion.
BTW, I'm sorry to disappoint everybody with title of post.
So my Super Turbo SNG experiment is now 158 games. While things have gotten better, I still continue to get the sick beats which of course is part of the game; but it has really been brutal. Again, the red line is the All In EV Line.
Also, for whatever reason, I have start playing 6 max limit poker on PokerStars lately. Why? I have no idea. It definitely brings back the memories of the good old days.
Have a nice day!!!

Time to end Super Tubro Experiment? And I am a Rakeback Amatuer
Ok.. Maybe it is time to give up the Super Turbo Experiment. Red line is All in EV.
Good Times!!!
138 Tournies this month
Only 26.8 ITM
-16% ROI
On the flip side, I am having a consistent month at the cash games. NOT!!!!!
On the bright side, I am positive (a whopping $2.80) over the almost 30,000 hands. The big blind continues to my Achilles heel. I am positive at every position with the exception of big blind.
I guess you could you call me a rakeback amateur.
Have a good weekend. I am playing golf for the first time this year and playing in a home game (both on Saturday) so it should be a fun weekend anyway.

After making final table the last 2 week in the Monday Poker at the Rail tourney, I played last night hoping to make it a trifecta.

I went out a little after 1st break.

American Idol
Similar to this post last year, I correctly picked Your American Idol at 8/1.
Well, this year, the odds are not so great.
Casey James is 10/1
Crystal Bowersox 4/5
Lee Dawyze 6/5
Last week, it came to me that Lee Dawyze is going to be your American Idol. I forgot to look at odds. I look at them now and it is no where as juicy as Kris Allen was last year at 8/1. In truth, I just can't buy an even money pick.
Why do I think Lee will win. Well, similar to last year. Casey is almost 100% to go this week. Where do his votes go to? I feel it is Lee.
Unlike last year, I like all 3 of these so it really doesn't matter to me.

Still struggling in poker; but hopefully some poker posts coming soon.
Have a nice day!!!!

What's Worse
What is worse?
Having your second worse month ever or Holdem Manager saying that you running good by about 4 buyins?
Non Poker:
How about that guy betting 100K on Kentucky Derby.... and winning. That's a nice little 800K profit.
Non Sports.
Highlight of my weekend.
Listening to my 3 year singing while listening to her ipod with headphones on and trying to figure out which song it is. Unfortunatley, she sings like her mom and I so it wasn't easy ;-) Having said that, I think I could listen to that all day long.
