A New Respect

Hey all,

Well finally got a chance to sit down and jot a few lines... This week has been crazy stupid and I don't mean at the tables.It is funny how life can be sometimes.
I figured work would be slow this week as it was freezing cold... Boy was I wrong. If anything could take place , well it did.

Between working, rushing home to get the kids to swimming and hockey then back to pick them up, I somewhere had to fit in food and sleep then back to work.

It was one of those weekends where me and my better half both had to work the weekend..I kinda got a glimpse of what she does on a daily basis now..
My respect has grown a ton for her. I sometimes squawk about having to go get them after just working a 12 hr shift and then making sure all the baths and homework is done.. she has way more to worry about , like clothes being ready, lunches to be made

Ok I gotta fly as I have to go get my daughter from a tournament and then drop her off to go watch my son ion the hockey finals..

then be at work for 9pm...

Life crazy how it can be sometimes..Wouldn't change it though :)

Oh I did manage to squeak in a few $2 sit n gos.... played 8 and finished in the money in all but 2 of them.

Cheers

Freeroll Frenzy

So it's Saturday night ,I have the Flu and I am not too interested in watching Vancouver vs San Jose on the tube.. What is a person to do.. well I take a peek in Full Tilt and a 100 dollar freeroll catches my eye...Hmmmm I say and it starts in a hour and there is nobody signed up... So I jump through the ropes find out the PW and sign up for it.....

Did I mention that 726 other people did too....LOL Now I don't mind tournies but I usually don't play these as there are too many people.....and too crazy... But I sat down and decided to experiment with my game and see if I could fill any holes ..

well 3 hrs later , Guess what I am Chip leader...lol... It was fun... My other half comes down and asked me ..what the hell I am doing... and I tell her I am freerolling baby...

She then asked how much could you win... I told her that first pays like 10 bucks...

She laughed and stated 10 bucks for 3 hrs wow....Don't quit your day job...

Now people may laugh but I found out something last night... That I can last to the final table if I play with disicpline and a little luck...... I figure if you can outplay 700 some people in a free roll where things get crazy...then I must be doing someting right.

Well I should get going , got to work today even though I am sick...ICK!

Oh as for the tourney.. I finished fourth place...good enough for 7.70 ... It isn't much but a great lesson was learned..

Cheers

I hate Flu season

Hey Folks,

Sorry about not posting in a bit, I came back From California and promptly caught a cold and turned it into the flu..So cards have not been played for a while.

The weather here has been brutal, snowstorm followed by snowstorm by freezing temps...oh well welcome to Alberta..lol

I am planning on trying out pokerstars this week as I have never been on there but have heard it is a decent place. I do stay away from Absolute and Ultimate bet as there is too much bad press going on. I used to play at AP but came across a ton of poker bots which when I emailed AP and advised them that I din not think that this was right, I got the reply that AP themselves use bots which totally blew me away..

So for now I will try PS and probably stay on FT for a bit... I was really hating FT for all the bad suck outs happening but it is like this voice is calling me back....Millsy come play....Millsy Come play ..lol

I have been in touch with another blogger who is going through a tough time right now hitting some pretty bad beats..now they play bigger stakes and this is there living so I really can see how they can get so down...

My advise and by no means can I say hey, I have been there but just hang in there, It will turn around... all things do eventually... Don't ever give up on your dreams....

Well I should go check out pokerstars...I am planning on checking out some new sites so if any of you bloggers want to refer me to one , Just drop me a note and I will put ya as the referral..

Cheers
