early morning session

Today my wife had a dr's appt, and daughter started back to school. I was up early and had to watch the kids while my wife went to the dr.

I played a little $0.02/$.05 6 max NL. I have to say that short handed cash games are my favorite. I figured I can play the nickle game without much risk of ruin. I was shocked how soft the competition on pokerstars is at this level. On UB at the .05/.1 level there is still some pretty solid players, but IIRC they dont have short handed tables.

Anyway, In my short session (~30 mins) I picked up 2 buyins or ~$10's. I'm not sure exactly what my profit was but thats probably a fair estimate.

My bankroll is now $137.86. Almost a $100 increase in 4 days. I am definetly happy with these results. I am not going to get out of line though and am going to try and plug away at my goal of $500 by October 8th. If I reach that goal sooner great!, of not great! I'm going to stay focused and just slowly build and grind.

I read an interesting myth/rumor about Jamie Gold yesterday. Apparently he is Johnny Chans agent. I knew Johnny Chan was helping coach him during the WSOP. I guess Chan worked out a 10% deal with Gold. Pretty sweet for Chan. Apparently Gold also gave 50% of himself to a friend who helped him secure a celebrity for bodog. The celebrity was party of the deal that got Gold into the WSOP on a freeroll.

So after paying out his %'s and taxes Gold took down nearly the same as Alan Cunningham in 4th place.
