Hi all! Summer is coming to an end. Poker has been extremely uneventful the last month or so. Jon and I made one Foxwoods & one Borgata trip in July. Borgata turned out to be a 1 day, -2k annoying poker trip, that resulted in more driving time than playing time- good job Connie & Jon. Haha. The week after, we traveled to Foxwoods. The trip started out rough. Jon and I deficited the first two days in cash. Then, on the third day, Jon made a bunch in cash, and I won a small daily tourney for 2k. We met Jon's family up there for the weekend and had a very good time. Unfortunately, I had to make an emergency dentist visit up there bc of a tooth infection, but I was glad when the pain was gone. Another bonus is I found a new dentist- even though he is in Conn, its worth it. He was very good and professional. We ended up doing well for the trip in total, after expenses and all.
Online has been rough. I have not final tabled a multi table tournament since...hmmm....since a long time ago. Jon is doing well in sngs and sats, but we are experiencing the downside to mtts in the last several weeks. Its part of the lifestyle- we just need to ride it out until the tide turns. The difference between me and Jon and other full time poker players who mtt online for a living is that Jon and I do not play volume. Combined, we may play 35-40 tournaments a week. That's not much, and for me, its been much less in last few months due to my business. However, as I always say, great players rise to the top and I know Jon's skills will be shown in a large cash soon.
On other fronts, my sister is having a baby! She is due in 2 weeks and I am so excited to be an aunt. I love little babies- they are so cute and cuddly and fun to be around. It will be nice to have a baby in the immediate family. I think my parents have given up hope for me- I am not even married, let alone ready to pop out a grandkid for them =)
Also, Jon and I started a new blog- http://www.gourmetratings.blogspot.com/. The blog is titled "Undercover Gourmet" and focuses on food. Specifically, it is a review of restaurants, bars, gourmet supermarkets, farmers' markets, etc that Jon and I frequent. I think it will be fun and interesting to grade the places we go and keep a record of what we like/dislike. Also, Jon is such a critic, especially as one of his biggest hobbies is cooking. And Im a huge pain when I go out to eat- I ask for modifications galore. So, between the two of us, we are good at testing a restuarant's capabilities and quality. Check out our new blog if you have time. Also, we would like others' inputs- so if you want to blog about a bar or restaurant, please let us know and we will post it.
That's all for now. Jon and I are making a trip to Foxwoods next week, and then we are going to Schroon Lake in upstate NY with family the following week. I will try to update more often! Good money and peace readers,
xxoo
Garnet.
