Life updates... Apparently, the University of Missouri hates me, and I will not be attending the oh so great J-school this fall. If everything goes as planned, and my planning does not seem to work out very well, I will go UMKC in the fall and then go from there. There is a possible chance I will be at Mizzou for the spring semester, but most likely I will go a year at UMKC and then be on my way to Mizzou. Hopefully that plan works out. I would really like to get my freaking Journalism degree in the next decade. I have a good 10 years to get that, right? That's about it in terms of my life. Exciting right?
Poker seems to be a little more exciting for me. I have hit an upswing! The Mini Series of Poker on Full Tilt has definitely be a huge series for me. Overall on the series I am up a couple thousands which is huge considering I was almost online busto a couple of weeks prior to the series beginning. I made the final table in the $25 Omaha 8/ Stud 8 mixed event. I ended up 4th in that event for a little of $1k. I also cashed in many events including a variety of games such as 6-max limit hold'em, no limit hold'em, HORSE, Omaha 8 limit, and pot limit omaha 8. I think my game has really evolved and I'm just not a one trick pony and can play all of the games well as shown by my recent results.
The upcoming weeks and months there are a few series that I'm really looking forward to and should play in a few events. In August, Full Tilt is having there oh so popular, oh so awesome, oh so happens every two months and why people complain about that makes me sick FTOPS events. I'm going to take a shot at satelliting in to the events. I'm for sure going to play one of the two $100 events and if I would choose now, it would probably be the Ante Up For Africa event just because it's charity and it's a cool event to have online as well.
After the FTOPS in August, Full Tilt is having a mini-FTOPS similar to the MSOP and the mini-FTOPS they ran earlier in the year. I think they learned from their mistakes and are not going to run the FTOPS and mini-FTOPS at the same time which will probably increase the number of runners in each event. Kudos to Full Tilt on this. P.S. Synchronized Breaks are AMAZING! Get on that Poker Stars!
Speaking of Poker Stars, WCOOP is coming up in September. The schedule looks amazing and looks way out of my bankroll. There's always the hope of magically winning one of the luckbox satellites that Stars runs and then magically running through a field of thousands to take down a World Championship of Online Poker title, but that's no where close to realistic especially given that Poker Stars satellites have extremely terrible structures and there's no way in hell I can run well for even a faction of time on Stars to have even a chance to win a satellite. In other news, I might play the 2-7 triple draw event just because I PWN at 2-7. I would love to play the 2-7 single draw event, but it is a rebuy and way out of my bankroll. Going to war with only one bullet, especially in 2-7 NL, would be on the edge of suicide (in poker terms, of course).
That's it.. I'm done.. More to come..
