The start of what I hope is a huge week

Well this week I have two solid shots at winning a Main Event seat at the WSOP. Thursday night we have the finals of the Bluff Poker Tour at VIP Poker. My best shot will be Sunday at Pokershare. There is a freeroll for 40 people where they will give away THREE seats to Main Event. I would love to take advantage of one of these opportunities to play in the King of poker tourneys. Hopefully everything can come together during one of them.

So I took most of Saturday off but I did play yesterday. I entered 3 tourneys and only cashed in one which was a second place showing. Unfortunately it was also the cheapest of the prizepools. Oh well.

For the day the profit was just under $400. I also received my rakeback payment for 15 days of work which totalled $440. Not bad at all. So the bankroll is sitting at $24,928 now, which represents a $1700 profit for the month so far. Not nearly a 10k month like June was, but still solid after 1/3 of the month has been done.

1/3 of the month you say??? We have only had 9 days so far, and last time I checked July had more than 27 days. Well not for me. I am taking a break from online poker from July 27th-August 6th. I am going to spend time with my family and all of my Aunts/Uncles/cousins at a lake in Indiana. Simply put, it is the best time I have all year long. All we do is swim at the lake, play ball with all the kids (and there is a ton of them), play horseshoes, and of course play some cards. They love playing Euchre and Poker. My euchre game is rusty, but you all know how the poker game is shaping up. My kids are counting down the days until we leave, and I must say I am doing the same.

So that is all I have to report for the day. This Sunday night on FOX Sports they will be showing the epsiode of Mansion Poker that my friend Greig played on. I dont know how he did (I am trying to avoid finding out), but I am sure he played well. I know they had a great time over the weekend, and most of my buddies were winning money through play on Sunday afternoon. I will have to wait for the final report. Well good luck to all of you on the felt this week, hopefully we all will have alot to be happy about!!!

Go Bill you can do it. Preferably the PokerShare deal.( lol)

Two additional comments:

1) Hopefully the BPT finale goes Thursday. VIP moving to Microgaming may cause trouble. I PMed Jeff but no reply.

2) July 27 - Aug 6 will be interrupted if you qualify for the ME.

lol, I was thinking #2.

VIP is still on UPN for now. Was playing on Pokerblue on the weekend, which = VIP. But doesn't look like the bpt is too much of a priority for those guys, you could win thurs night and still have no idea where you stand.

I think my best shot is the pokershare deal as well. I hope to have to switch my vacation, but I am not counting on it. We all know how I typically choke in any tourney with WSOP attached, but maybe I can fix that problem.

Ummm, there's no bigger choker at wsop tournies than myself. With 3 more top 20 finishes in wsop qualifiers, it brings my total pretty close to 10 now. GL. I'm probably going to go for the stars 150seat guaranteed. That way I won't have to play to win.
