A Milestone

Yesterday, somewhere between completing my reload bonus on Pokerroom and kicking some donkey ass on Full Tilt, I reached the 5K bankroll milestone. Cool. I stared the month of March on such a tear that I was hoping to make it 2 grand in one month for the first time ever, which I managed to do. August will be mark my one year anniversary of playing poker online. My goal by then is simple. 10K. No more, no less. I don’t really know if I’ll be able to make it anywhere near that but it should be one hell of a challenge.

I FINALLY received my copy of SuperSystem II that I ordered with my Party Poker Points at the end of February. I had actually started to lose hope but they came through in the end. It’s in perfect condition too which is always a plus. I’ll probably start reading up on it sometime this weekend. I wonder if my order of beer glasses will make it through unscathed, I can only wait and see.

I don’t remember the last time I entered a tournament of any kind. So much for my promise of playing more of them. I wanted to take part in the Wil Wheaton tourney yesterday but couldn’t make it unfortunately. I know there’s another, smaller MTT on Wednesday, the Mookie invitational or something like that. I might try to hit it and start knocking some rust off. I really want to play more tournaments, it’s just a matter of getting off my lazy ass and getting it done.

I’ll also take part of the PokerStars blogger satellite to the WSOP on Monday. At this point, I’ll pretty much take on everything, and the reward at the end of this one makes it even more tempting. Can’t wait.

L'artiste, I'll be interested to hear what you think of SuperSystem II. One thing that disappointed me was that Doyle did very little in the way of updating or refreshing his chapter on no limit holdem. Otherwise I think the book was very good -- not the poker bible that the original SS is, but still a valuable tool. And it does cover some other topics that the original volume did not delve into (Triple Draw, tournament poker generally, etc.). Let me know what you think.

Have you played HUC3 round 2 yet? If not, GL. Two Canuckleheads in the final 4 would be sweet.
