creeping along

Still going at the 6max game. I actually didnt play very much tonight. In fact I just checked my PT stats and I havent played much at all lately. I guess the good thing is everytime I've played I have had a winning session.

I only have 1500 hands played at UB and I think thats for just about a week. Not many hands at all. I only have 300 at the limit I am playing now, but am showing a 25bb/100 win rate. Unfortunately that is offset by my losses at the NL tables, and a losing round of hands at a lower 6max game. I am only showing a 25bb profit (at my current level) when taking into account all of my games. A profit is a profit though and I will take it.

I was online today checking out the nearest casino, which is a Ceasars. Apparently they run a NLHE Tournament with a $200+20 buyin every saturday. The tournament is limited to 250 ppl and they include 3 WSOP main even entries in the prize pool. I sent the tournament director an email asking if this was added to the prize pool or is paid for out of the prize pool. In any event, I think that as my birthday present to myself I am going to make a trip to the casino and take a shot at it.

i read some reviews on their cardroom which was recently remodeled to host a WSOP circuit event. All of the reviews were positve except for one by some jackass who was crying about being on a waitlist and getting skipped because of some miscomunication on his part.

I will probably play some of the cash games too, because they open up tournament signups to the cash game players first. I asked them to send me a starting chip size and blind schedule too, obviously if this was an obsurd schedule I will have to pass. I have read about cardrooms hosting tournaments with crazy blind structures that are intended to end the tournament fast and get the players into the cash games. Anyway I'm excited about the prospect of going down there and playing, and hopefully I can build my bankroll up and not have to pay out of pocket. Something I was thinking about doing is playing the $5r to the stars $530 thats coming up and if I place sell that to one of the sites or individuals that pay for T$'s. Basically a satellite into that tournament.

I got an email from Nevada Jacks about my chips. I am planning on upgrading them to a 500pc set and picking up ~100 extra chips so that I can have enough chips for a home cash game and 10 man tournament. I'm probably going to submit my order with them early next week, I still cant decide if I want the skulls chips or the desert sands.

I did read a good review on them at chiptalk. They are said to be good chips, and I'm sure they will be better than my made in china dice chips that I got on ebay @ $40 for 1k. Now I will have to get around to building a poker table to splah them around on.
