My first big Pokerstars Win!

Yesterday, we returned after a long and delirious trek from Port Canaveral to the Orlando Sheraton for a brief stay, to a 7 a.m. flight, to JFK, New York, to a yellow cab, to Jon's parent's and finally, to our home. Needless to say, we arrived in our apartment, extremely relieved to be home, but exhausted. After a short rest, I started to unpack and Jon did some food shopping (he is the food shopping guru, after all). We settled in around 2ish for lunch and to play the 9k guaranteed on UB. We both ended up busting out before the money- Jon lost with AA and I honestly forgot how I got out.

I also played a $24 satellite for the 40k guaranteed on Full Tilt- I won my entry. I played a TEC on UB- and won my entry to the 40k guaranteed. Then I played a 10$ rebuy on stars, thanks to Lykan Khan's (well respected player on UB) suggestion and ended up cashing for FIRST-$8,700! It was such a long tournament- 1268 entrants and the final table took forever. We ended up doing a five way chop by chip count, which was an excellent deal for me.

I also final-tabled the 8p.m. on UB- $600 for 10th. Of course, my AK, when I pushed, ran into AA. Just like every final table in the 8 p.m. in the last three months- its seriously uncanny. And if I had more chips, I wouldve folded, but only 9x the bb, so I had to push.

I got out of Full Tilt 40k 93/355, which is not terrible considering that I have typically no success on that site at all.

I am starting to think that working is more of liability than it is profitable...I am working hard to get my apartment sold so that I can quit my job and move to New Jersey. It is what Jon and I both want. Each of us have a 8k or 9k cash every other month. And that is just us playing online part time and hardly at all live. I have such good instincts about our future poker success that it makes me sad to think we won't be moving for at least four more months.

Friday, we are heading down to Atlantic City to take Dragon to dinner and I am definitely playing the Saturday $340 at Borgata. I feel that it would be a serious miscarriage of justice to myself- to be in AC and not play this tourney =)

That is all for now...more later.

Good luck and peace,

Lucky C (truly lucky in life).
