Birthday and on the bubble!
Ok, so I haven't posted in a while. I guess I'm a lazy bastard :) Anyways, it's my birthday today and what did I do? You guessed it, I played poker. I got into a no limit tournament on FullTilt and managed to finish on the exact bubble. Yah that sucks a bit. It was only worth $34 if I finished 1 spot higher so I'm not all that bummed. 1st place paid around 6k.
I've been logging a bit of time at World Poker Exchange (WPX) which is a 100% rakeback poker site that attracts about 1200 people at its peak each day. That's not a ton of players, but hopefully they will start to accumulate more since 100% rakeback rocks! I suggest you give it a try if you play at other sites to see just how much they take from the playes. It will suprise you.
Most of the action at WPX is holdem so I still play Omaha High at FullTilt poker. I'm still trying to work out how to play these 6 man tables since that is what most players opt for. At PartyPoker I always played 10 man so could wait for pretty good hands as I didnt get blinded away too quickly.
I could really use some input as to what to post about.
I've been playing poker online now for about 2 years although really I've played maybe solid for 6 months out of that 2 years. I got enough saved up from my previous job to last until my poker career really kicks in and my living expenses are pretty low not having a wife and kids like my brother! Currently I'm seriously looking into moving to Las Vegas sometime after the new year since that is where all the live action is. I need to get a trip or two out there before the end of this year though to scout places to play and live.
