Update On My Goals As Of 1-10-2010

Ok as stated in a previous post I need to profit $600-$650 in the $3.30 90 Man SNG MTT's on Full Tilt before I can move up to the $6.50 90 Mans and be properly bankrolled for them. I guess you can say it was a fairly light week for me as far as games played goes pretty much due to the recoop time I needed from our A.C trip over the New Year's weekend. It definitely took it's toll on me physically. Also not playing on line poker for 4 days during that trip was a BIG change to my routine. So I kind of wanted to ease my way back into playing again this week. I only played 129 games. That means I spent $425.70 on these tournaments alone this week and that's not including all the Head's Up Tourneys I played as well. So here is my recent Shark Scope graph. Expect BIGGER numbers from me next week. Hold on. Since I have been hearing GRIPES that these graphs are too small and they are hard to see, I just wanted to tell all of my millions of followers to just click on the damn thing to make it BIGGER. lol!!!



Oh. One last thing. Here is probably one of my favorite songs right now primarily for 2 reasons. 1) I love Rap music and 2) BIG Money is what I expect from Poker this year folks.

HOLLA!!!

Snow Day & A Little Poker

Are you kidding me? A SNOW DAY!!!! Really? UUGGHH!!! J-Rod & the SNAKE(My 8 year old step son)both said 10 Hail Mary's & 10 Our Fathers last night in hopes that they would have a snow day today. All I can say to those of you that don't believe in prayer is "Wake Up and Smell The Coffee" cause it really does work.

So the SNAKE & Oreo(1 of our 2 Mini Wiener dog's) went to work with Malibubarbie41 today and J-Rod & Carmella(A.K.A. Mella Baby) stayed home with me. Mella Baby is sad that her brother abandoned her today as evident to me in this picture.



Just so the SNAKE doesn't feel left out here is a picture of him and Oreo.






As far as poker goes today I just hammered out 22 games. I made 5 Final Tables with 1-9th Place, 1-7th Place, 1-3rd Place, 1-2nd Place & Ship the CHEEZEBURGERS....1-1st Place Baby!!! Here is the graph.

Standuuuured Tuesday Night

Every Tuesday night for the BRAIN household is Rocknes night out. This all came about because Jarrod(A.K.A. J-Rod, A.K.A Worm) my 10 year old step son told his Mommy this is just what we have to do every Tuesday night MOM whether you like it or not. How could Malibubarbie41 every say NO to that? lol!!!





After a lovely Chicken Dipper Dinner with Fries and Fat Free Honey Mustard Dressing and 2 Vanilla Vodka Diet Dr. Peppers the BRAIN clan got some upsetting news. Our server Tony who has always waited on us just got hired on @ the Justice Center. I guess this is good for him but what about Me, Barbie and the kids? After all we are the ones who probably put him through College with our very generous 30% tips and this is the thanks we get.

With no luck at all Barbie and I tried & tried to hire him on as our Live In Full Time Chef, Bartender and Waiter. Finally after an hour of haggling with him we decided to just let him go out into the "Real World" and make something of himself. So long Tony we're gonna miss you.

Update On My Goals As Of 1-3-2010

Not exactly the R.O.I. I was looking for but I'll take it. I will try and post my updated goals graph every Sunday if possible.

Oh one last thing. Keep this in mind for the New Year. "The BRAIN TRAIN"!!!!!

New Year's In Atlantic City!!!

What a GREAT last few days in Atlantic City. Malibubarbie41 and I arrived in A.C. @ 11:00AM Thursday morning. We or should I say Barbie41 went straight to the High Roller Slots in hopes of hitting it BIG!!! I tagged along because I like to see how how a BIG TIME BALLA Rolls. When I watch her continuously hitting the max bet button on a high limit slot for $50 a spin it just makes me sick to my stomach. That's just how she does it and by her doing so it allows us to fly, stay, eat & drink for free every time we go to any Harrah's property. That's always a plus. I decided to not play any live poker on New Year's Eve and just spend some much needed QT(Quality Time For You NOOBS That Didn't Know What It Stood For). So after a little slot playing and some grub we decided to take a nap so we would be able to watch the ball drop @ Midnight. We went back to the Casino after our nap so I could witness the High Roller in action again and once again The BRAIN got sick to his stomach watching the Harrah's slots devour Malibubarbie41's hard earned money in short time. I knew she was a little bummed so we decided to go back to the room to watch the Ball drop. BIG mistake. We fell asleep and missed the whole damn thing. lol!!!! That's OK though I still got to spend plenty of QT with my baby.

On to Friday & Saturday. Cash Game Poker my friends. $1-$2 No Limit. How friggin' boring. How can people just sit there hour after hour playing on just 1 table? Are you kidding me? By no means am I saying it's beneath me but I am used to playing 10 games at a time which equals roughly 600-700 hands an hour on line as opposed to 25 hands per hour live.......If your lucky. UUGGHH!!! No fear though there is always liquor and the Bad Beat Jackpot of $500K. That's right $500K. I don't want to bore anyone with too many details like the clock being called on me during a $500 decision or a chick getting mad @ me for raising her BB when I had AK, because the question I keep on getting from everyone is "Well how much did you win"? Great question indeed. Let's just say at 1 point I was up to around $1200 and for those of you who know me I would normally walk at that point but I think Jaime Foxx said it best. "BLAME IT ON THE AL-AL-AL-AL-AL-ALCOHOL"!!!!!!!!!!! Damn. So I only net profited roughly $200 on the trip. I'll take a win any day though. So last but not least. Malibubarbie41's net profit. It's always a mystery to me but in my guess-ta-mation she is down @ least $2K. Actually a little more cause I gave her a $1K loan. I'll probably get SMACKED for saying that but "It Is What It Is". lol!!!!

Great trip though and I look forward to going back this February.

Oh almost forgot. Since I am married to a High Rolling Casino Celeb we get the best rooms available to mankind. I took a picture of our bathroom mirror. "Your bathroom mirror you say"? Yes my bathroom mirror. It had a damn TV in it!!! Now that's P.I.M.P. I hope you can see it.

Great Day....Considering

First of all this is my first blog posting ever so don't be alarmed if I am not grammatically correct. lol!!! I'm a bit under the weather today. Seems to be a head cold. Hopefully my beautiful wife will take care of me and nurse me back to health because we have a BIG trip planned to Atlantic City for the New Year.

Let me start by saying me and one of my close poker buddies and friend sgthatzo(Full Tilt username) set some goals for ourselves at the end of November. We are both just going to start out by playing the $3.30 90 Man SNG MTT's on Full Tilt. In order for us to be able to move up in stakes we need to profit anywhere from $600-$650 in these. That would give us approximately 100 buy in's for the next level 90 mans. Once we accomplish this(which by the way is not going very well for Daddy J) we can move up to the $6.50 90 Man SNG MTT's. Once we profit $1200-$1300 on those we can jump up to the $12 + $1 90 Mans, and so on and so forth until we eventually are both playing in the $48 + $4 90 Mans which by the way if you ship one of those you make a cool $1,152!!! Now some of you may be saying why are you only playing a $3 tourney, why wouldn't you play in the higher limit ones? Good question. I am actually bankrolled for the bigger games but not quite sure I am ready for them. Since I do not play poker professionally(at least not until I win a W.S.O.P. Bracelet) I figured I might as well stick with my goals I set and see if I can accomplish them right? On a typical day I probably only play between 20-30 90 Man Tourney's. Today I actually got in 19 because I just wasn't feeling very well. I managed to make 2 FT's and shipped them both for a net profit of $92 on the day says SharkScope. I'm gonna see if I can post a picture on here of the days results. When I get back from Atlantic City I will give you an update on how things went for the both of us(Samantha & I) as well as an updated Sharkscope of my results since starting this little venture.

Have a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!!
