Medical Problems

I did finally miss one of my own tournaments this last Tuesday, as I was in the hospital after a series of small strokes. I went in on Monday afternoon and was actually finally released on Christmas Eve, having passed a series of tests for balance and cognizant thinking. I am currently on medical leave from work. I am glad the tournement was able to go on without me, and I will update the stats along with the $1 rebuy this coming Tuesday. I hope all had a happy and healty Holidas and please take care of your health so as to not run into the heatlh issues I currently have.

No Skillz Game results - Game Voided

Most people were on holiday from online poker last night, (likely recovering from the Winter Blogger Gathering) as there was no one signed up but me at 9:30. I am going to try to get a 7-Game tournament for next Tuesday, and a $1 NLHE rebuy for the 28th.

Good look to everyone this week, and hope to have a good post for you this weekend about the 3rd game in my WSOP tournament series. No post means I didnt do well!

2009 Skillz Game Leaderboard:


Finally starting to learn to play with a little more aggression, plus following more closely hands I am not involved in to get a better idea how others are playing. Made the final table with ease, and played 5 handed for 30+ minutes with very little change in chips until we got down to 4, with 3 of us virtually tied in chips and the super short stack, who went out shortly after. 3 handed last about 20 hands, with the 3rd place finisher pushing almost every hand, and I woke up with Jacks and fade his OESD on the turn and river. Heads up lasted 9 hands, as I was chipping away at the 2nd place finisher almost every hand, and he pushed on the last hand, into my Aces! Small tournament, but it felt good to win one!

Skillz Game Results - Razz

Razz last night had a full table of 8 players. After a shaky start, I was up about to about 4,000 chips, then quickly dropped back to the bottom of the players remaining. After edgie212 and MsDredful went out, I started to hit almost everything, capturing 3 bounties and the 1st place finish.

Razz Results:


heffmike and his strong 2nd place finish moved very close to NumbBono for the 2009 Leaderboad top spot, and he has 4 tournaments left to try and catch him.

Next week is Limit Stud Hi/Lo.
