Didn't do well in tournament three weeks ago, did mediocre at live play. Then we took a cruise; it was pretty funny -- Princess just started trying having a hold-em table. Ohmigosh, what terrible dealers. And slow slow players. We played once. Was enough.

Today, came in tenth! In the money. Damned hard work getting there, and I arrived at the final table with exactly one chip. Never done that before! Woo-hoo, $130!

Back from Kernville...finished 14th in the Friday Omaha tournament, not too bad, but gee. (10th is in the money.) Then dropped about 60 bucks playing live -- these both at Orleans. Sunday, however, I won $305, so that felt better.

Last poker day before heading to Kernville. Tournament was an early exit this time, which is a lot more enjoyable than 12th. A couple hours live play between tournament and dinner yielded me a big $10. All fun, though!

Maybe I'll play some poker in K'ville....

Played for about six hours at Wynn today. Down $70. (Was down almost $300 at one point, so it was a good recovery.) Roberta had a terrible day -- played very well, had terrible luck. We both had a lot of fun, though.

The type of tournament day I find most annoying. 68 entrants. Top 10 are in the money. I finished 12th.

But at least I'm continuing my live game winning streak -- up $7 in a short half hour between tournament and dinner.

Just blogging my poker activity here. I'm feeling pleased with myself in live games, but tournaments haven't been as friendly this year. My recent games:
