Poker update

Cash games went really well this last weekend and then not so well after Sunday. I need to start writing down numbers so I can tell you how much I am up or down, but honestly, I have no idea where I was at last Friday. I know my Full Tilt roll has increased and my Doyle's Room roll has decreased. Anyway, I decided to take a day off from cash games today. It was going to be a day without poker, but I decided to procrastinate my homework even more and play in a FTOPS Main Event qualifier. It was a $75 buy in and top 4 qualify for the $535 buy in tourney. I grinded my way through it, showing very few hands. I ended up getting top 4 and then we all went all in and I lucksacked my way to the victory :) I am pretty excited for this tourney on Sunday. I have yet to have a big score in a tourney and hopefully Sunday will be the day.

Thanksgiving break is next week. Unfortunately, I will have to hang around Seward because of basketball. I am really anxious to get back home for 10 days during Christmas break. Basketball in going really rough for my team and me right now. Hopefully things will turn around. I'll update for sure after the FTOPS tourney if not before.

Montana update: My brother's team is now 9-1 overall and number two in the nation in IAA. Their only loss is to Iowa. They have a huge game this weekend against number two in the Big Sky Conference and arch rival, Montana State. "The Brawl of the Wild" should be a great game this year. Hopefully the Griz will come out on top.
