Forgot to post this earlier... as usual. I did get to play some on Stars Tuesday night and it was a virtual wash, though I was $9 to the good overall. I had two sick bubbles in a couple of 180s, finished 19th in a $12 and 22nd in the $36 one I played. Ugh.
I did win a $12 45-man and tacked on a third in another, but that was all I managed. At least that was better than getting zilch. I'm really hoping that once this weekend is over with I'll be able to start back with a more consistant schedule as far as running these Stars sessions.
May hasn't been the greatest but its not over yet. Not sure I'll really get the chance to fully make up for it as I'll be away this weekend, however I will have the laptop with me in case the urge for online poker hits me too hard to deny. The Turbo Takedown is Sunday and I have the points for it, but I'm not sure I can get away THAT long. I plan on winning ya know.

Breaking Even
As the title says I pretty much broke even over the weekend, ended up down about $30 technically. I had a couple of "almosts", the most notable of which was a 6th in a $44 turbo on Stars that was good for about $505 or so. Unfortuneately that was the bulk of my winnings.
I came close, even real close, to a few more deep runs in a few other games but I either couldn't win the race or found a monster and forgot to suck out. May has been a down month for sure, in fact it'll be my worst one ever unless a good bit of serious run-good comes my way in the next week or so.
Despite this, I'm still in a great frame of mind. I played well all month, in fact I've had very few "OMG WTF do I do here" moments and even those I felt I handled very well and with no regrets. Maybe I could have played a few hands here and there a bit differently if I were given the chance, sure. Overall I really don't have a ting to complain about (other than the fact that I'm losing).
Outside of poker, we went to see the latest Shrek flick, it was enjoyable at the least. A couple of good moments for sure, we enjoyed it. I've started up with the bowling league that my wife's company has each summer also. I hadn't bowled since the last one ended in August but I held up fairly well, rolling a 189, 173, and a 183 for the night. Better than expected.
Tonight its off to Marc's place for some social poker for money, then tomorrow I'll hit up Stars in order to clear the rest of a bonus and hopefully erase some of May's losses while I'm at it. We'll see how that goes!

Is This Thing On?
Wow, been some time since I've posted on here! I've been pretty busy with other things outside of poker so this is why I haven't really been on here in the last few weeks. What I have played hasn't been noteworthy as I'm down for the month. However I feel I've continued to play well so I really can't complain about it too much.
I put in a good 30 game session last night and ended up down aout $300 overall but I came close a few times. A break here or a card there and I could have come out of this little downswing in a big way. I ended up 13th in the $33 Turbo on Full Tilt and 10th in a $44 Turbo on Stars while also taking 5th on Cake in the $22 Turbo Bounty. The first two in particular could have been really big if I could just win a hand deep.
I had a few other smaller cashes along the way but once again it was Poker Stars that really denied me anything special. No matter how well I'm playing it seems something always goes against me when I'm deep in a game there. Sure, 10th in that $44 game is pretty decent but I'd like to actually win something eventually. I have everywhere else, why not there? One day I'll get it.
I was going to play today as well but the life of a family man is never clear. Looks like I've somehow committed to other things and I'll miss out on the usual Sunday afternoon schedule. I might still play in the Pokerology freeroll but that's about it since I may need to leave the house at a moment's notice.
With luck I'll play some 180s this week and hopefully get a full weekend slate in as well. If I do I might just remember to post something again.
