6/8 to 6/14

My parents and sister were in town for the weekend so that put a kink into my playing. We had our office summer picnic on Thursday night also so there was no playing. Friday I played a Tournament on FullTilt and ended up at the Final Table out of 234 I think. I managed 7th but took a very bad beat that left me crippled when my AQ was no match for Q10s. I hung on for one more to bust but was looking for the 1st place payout instead of 7th. On Saturday night I only played the BetFred Forum freeroll. There were over 300 in this one and I managed to make the Final Table of this one also and hung on nicely until there were 5 left and then I was booted out. When I logged back in I got stuck in an update which took 10 minutes on my DSL and I got back in just in time to see the last of my chips blinded off. Sunday I played a little 2/4 and dropped a few bucks and then won most back winning 4 of 5 heads up SNG’s. I am sure glad those are back running good for me as there is some nice money to be made playing those. I am right about even so far on the week so it is time to kick it into high gear for the last 3 days. Monday was an okay night. The cash tables were just average for me. I dropped a bit on Stars and FullTilt but won it all back plus some on Playtech. I also had a decent night playing Heads Up. I won both of the heads up matches I played on Stars so was pretty much a wash there. Overall I ended up probably close to $50 on the night in maybe 1 to 1.5 hours of play. Tuesday and Wednesday pretty much canceled each other out. I won about $60 on Tuesday playing some 3/6. on FullTilt and then dropped about $60 on Wednesday playing the same. I haven’t been playing many tournaments still but I will start in about a week to week and a half playing 1 or 2 per night in order to get into tournament shape for Event #17. I am not making much headway collecting W$ on Stars as every time I get up a few W$ I try a larger entry for a W$650 seat trying to get a big score to put me over the top and get into in on the cheap. I am only in for $22 so far but am about to give up and just take enough to buyin when in Vegas. I’ll probably try 1 satellite if they have them when I get there and if I have no luck just bite the bullet. I am hoping not to have to play one but The Orleans, where I’ll probably stay, has a nightly tournament with a nice starting stack that I will play if I happen to get sent home early from the WSOP event. I hope this is a good week coming. Good luck to everyone.
