My lack of blogging since August was due to an extremely busy schedule. Poker took a back seat in September to my business, and the birth of my cutie pie niece NICOLETTE ROSE....she is freakin adorable and such a munchkin. She was born on September 3, 2010 and is almost 8 weeks old now. Nicolette has dark black hair and beautiful brown eyes. I made a commitment to visit her at minimum, once a week. I love babysitting and spending time with my little puhsky cutie.
Work picked up a lot in September. I was twice as busy in September and October than I was June-August. So, I resigned myself to playing a little- small buy in tournies at night and sunday majors. In September, Jon and I played some of the Borgata events. We did well in cash games, and Jon won an entry for the Borgata main event. He made day 2 with the starting stack but lost a huge hand to bust in the middle of day 2.
In October, we took two trips to Foxwoods during the WPF. Jon made a final table in the $600 event. He played great. He told me some of his hands which he really outplayed his opponents; I was very proud of him. I min cashed the Ladies Event and had some great cash game sessions. I feel so good about my poker game. I really think I have been playing extremely well. On our first trip up to foxwoods, on Sun Oct 10, we played online in the room all night and I got 5th in the Sun 200k on UB- yeaaaa!!!!! I haven't had a 5 figure score online ALL YEAR. Before that, my biggest cash was $2800 in a UB nightly. It felt great. The next night, Mon Oct 11th, I got 4th in a $3 rebuy on stars- gd that thing lasted till 6am. I busted w 80 bbs against the maniac chip leader- we got it all in preflop my AQ sp v his three bet open ship w K6 os. I flopped top two and he runnered a flush w the Kd. I almost puked. I played extemely well though.
This week, Jon and I are going to Biloxi for some tournaments- I am excited to play in the south; I had a great time when I was in Tunica two years ago.
In other news, I have been doing a lot of thinking, and as the year comes to end, I can happily say that I am very content with my life. My business is great, I get to travel and play poker often, Jon and I have a wonderful relationship and my stress level is usually not too high. We have financially security, a beautiful apartment, and close family and friends, and a wonderful new edition to the family Little Nicoleete. I am really so greatful for everything I have.
For 2011, I would like to accomplish a few things. You know I am fond of my lists:
1. Continue and finish my grandmother's recipe book & publish for her;
2. Start family geneology book;
3. Scrapbook all my memory stuff;
4. Lose 20-30 lbs;
5. Play WSOP Main Event & go to Vegas for one month;
6. Sell apartment and move to townhouse;
7. Take photography seriously;
8. Start up the Undercover Gourmet blog Jon and I started.
That's all for now. I hope you all have a very Happy Halloween. I am wearing my Phishy Witch costume from last year and spending the day with Nicolette. The cutie pie is going to be A Pea in a Pod. So adorable!!!!!!
Good money and peace!!!!!!
Love Garnet.
