I'M BBBAAACCCKKK!!!

First things first... I'm back in Madison for good!!! My place looks great and it's bigger than I remember when I first saw it (landlord had a lot of furniture stored in it and it was hard to tell the size). The kitchen was completely redone recently and looks brand new. Part of the bathroom was also redone.

Now for some even better news... I just won my 4th poker tourney. With a $20 buyin and 621 people it lasted for 11 hours! Most online tourneys only last about 5.5 hours but this was a special tourney on Poker Stars, a "Deep Stack" tourney. In a normal PStars tourney you start with t1500(t = tourney chips) and the blinds go up every 15 minutes, but in a deep stack tourney you start with t5000 in chips and the blinds go up every 30 minutes. This gives you a lot more time to manuever and play, which means the better plays have an even larger edge than normal.

With 621 people there was t3,105,000 chips in play. Going into the final table I had a little over t800,000 in chips. With 5 people left I had t1.6M in chips and with 3 people left I was up over t2.1M and when it got heads up I had about t2.6M in chips. The other guy doubled up once when we were heads up and got up to t1M in chips but then I chipped back away at him and took it down. This was the first deep stack tourney I've had the chance to play in but it definitly won't be my last.

My other 3 wins in poker are a 2500 person freeroll (free to get in) that paid out $1000 to me, my favorite win so far. I also won a $20 tourney with around 600 people. Both of those on Party Poker. My 3rd win was a live tourney with 75 people and a $25 buy in, which was here in Madison at a pool hall called Quenique(not sure of the spelling).

Here are the goals I have set for December:
1) make 13k (cash and tournies combined)
2)win a tourney(well that's done)
3)win a seat to a big live event (kinda a long term goal)

(Yes, I did make these goals before I won my tourney.)

PS. I don't proof my posts at all... and don't plan on it. Make comments on my spelling or grammer if you really feel like it, but realize I don't care. :)
