July 2009:
The virgopoker freeroll is coming along. We have added some players making all this more profitable. We will look at increasing the payout after September as we are pre paid through then. Finally winning money at Absolute. Went a lil overboard. Got a gold rating when I hit 1500 points for the month. A lot for me. Just hitting cards. Seems like when I forget about playing poker and just play I do better. Thinking about it is like a golf swing.. Im fucked if I do think about it. Im Due for a trip up to Winstar. Hope things are good for y'all. Till next month.

June 2009:
Funny month feel like im running good one day then the next its back to whack a moll. Sports book changed their format on their 10k bounty qualifiers. Now you can only buy in for the 1st 30 mins. I bummed. That was my honey hole. I still qualified a few time here lately but it takes longer. Used to get er done in 40 - 45 mins now im tied up for about an hour an a half cause you have to watch the close so much closer. I signed up at this new Gin Rummy place. Im gonna check it out an get back to ya. Looks like a nice diversion. Good luck to ya

May 2009:
This month I picked up another book I would recommend. Dan Harrington It's the Yang of the Yin Yang with Gus Hansen. I believe it's a better book from a standpoint of Tight play than Gus's but its good to see how the other half lives. Been playing and loosing my azz in Absolute, Ultimate, PDC, Ummm Everywhere.. I feel like its whack a moll and I am the mole.. I need to lay off for a while but im board.. hope you luck is running better.

April 2009:
Lol Since I had a problem with Sports book I decided to "dump" my cash to my Doyles account as they had e-wallet and were now on the cake network. Since I couldn't sit at the same table I got a friend to accept the dump and then dump to the other account. After all that I made a withdraw from doyles. Whelp they caught the dump and took all MY money and gave it to my Friend. Where he had to withdraw it for me ( course I paid all the friggin fees and Finally Finally FINALLY - Got the money I won at Sports book last November out and in my hands. Unreal, I sure with our congress would get their shit together and fix poker again.

March 2009:
Finally Sports book straightened out the problem Made good and gave me an extra 100 to cover my expenses. They also changed their withdraw processor I see and it is much quicker now. Ive been playing at PDC and now I see Doyles has merged with Cake or is using their software. Good I hated that other place. Went to San Antonio for Spring break.. Thank god I needed it too. Good luck to y'all. Don't forget to check out my freeroll at Virgo poker.

February 2009:
Still waiting on Sports book to make good. Bummed about that and the fact I had a good thing going there and now im like why play there if I cant get the money out. So im looking at Absolute a lot Been playing the Bad Beat there. But not much success yet. Waiting on Spring to get here I need a break.

January 2009:
Was rolling along great winning 30 - 50 every couple of days then Bamb. One of the checks from Sports book bounced. And they are not too forthcoming with info or help. Pissed off at em. Cost me money out of pocket. Poker is good. Just remember (you aint Gus Hansen ) lol in case you read his book.
