Well, got to play a bit of poker this week, but it didn’t go so well. I will still wait until the end of the month (just two more days) to report more generally.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I played in a qualifier to get into the big one tonight. Ironically, we were supposed to have company with us in the city this weekend (as we were supposed to last weekend), and they got rained in at the Durham airport, so we came to the house yesterday morning. For $31, I won an entry into the big one tonight.<\/p>\n
Here is my log from while I was playing:<\/p>\n
1048 entrants top 110 paid<\/p>\n
Only played one hand so far, and won.<\/p>\n

MADE THE MONEY!<\/p>\n
109 left, I’m in 52nd<\/p>\n
I played way too tight from the moment I was in 2nd. Obviously, this was one of the shots to get a major prize, not a minor one, but I admit that cashing at all was more important to me. Oh well. At least the game is officially on now, and I still have enough chips to try and get lucky with…<\/p>\n
98 left, I’m in 50th<\/p>\n
That was a step up in the money!<\/p>\n
94 left, I’m in 53rd
\n84 left, I’m in 50th<\/p>\nThat was a step up in the money!<\/p>\n
80 left, I’m in 58th<\/p>\n
That was a step up in the money!<\/p>\n
Oh well. Lost a “race” hand, and I’m out in 79th, and got back $419. Not too shabby, cashing 3 out of 4 times in the big one. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ironically, that wiped out most of my losses in the last two weeks. I’m near my peak for the month, but not quite there. That said, I am above where I was when I cashed in the big one 2 weeks ago, so that’s good enough for now. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
