Finalllyyyyyyy!!!! ;)

Sorry for the long delay in posts!!! I got lazy and tied up with so much different stuff. I guess I will some up the end of my road trip. I was frustrated, but finished Choctaw strong. I grinded my butt off in the Choctaw Main Event and lost a pretty big flip towards the end of day 1 and barely survived into day 2. I grinded out 10 big blinds for a min-cash that I was pretty happy about. I jumped into the last tournament of the Choctaw series, and made a little bit of a run. I cashed, but just lost the important flips to make the deep run.

From Choctaw, I drove to Tunica, Mississippi with David Nicholson. Here, we stayed on Harrah's property for the two weeks and grinded out the whole series. I did real well in the cash games focusing on the Big O(5 card Pot Limit Omaha) game. I made a lot of deep runs in the NLH tournaments, but continued running terrible in the crucial spots. But, we did accomplish one of our goals for the year. We happened to play the $365 PLO tournament and beat my good friend Michael "Carwash" Schneider heads up for my first WSOPc ring. That was awesome getting off my shoulders. We also made it to Memphis, Tennessee on this trip a few times for shopping and BBQ. And man.... They had some great BBQ.

I went from Tunica to Atlanta to visit my long lost friend, Maya Roffler, and my sister for a long weekend. I was able to get a lot done in Atlanta. I managed to go to a Hawks game with Maya and go to my sister's restaurant, Papacitos. Went to a few different bars and had a great night of Karaoke at my sister's house one night after the bars.

From Atlanta, I got back to Tampa and spent the first few days relaxing with my dog and catching up with her. I played a little poker there and hung out with my roommate some and with my other poker friends that lived down there.

But, this stay wasn't too long. No more than a week later, I was on the road again. But, this time, it was only to West Palm Beach. Here, I got a house with David Nicholson, Justin Gardenhire, and Clint Tolbert. This was more of a vacation than a poker series for me. I played the first event and made a deep run with my buddy David. Then, I played a few more and made a deep run in the Main Event to bubble. But, our roommate, Clint Tolbert, lost heads up. While down there, we went to the beach quite often, and did a lot restaurants and bars in downtown West Palm Beach.

That was a nice vacation before I went back home to Tampa to pack up all my stuff to get on a flight the next day bright and early to head to San Diego to taxi to Rosarito, Mexico. Going thru the Mexican border was an interesting experience. I had my passport and everything out and ready, but didn't need anything. Literally, you wouldn't even know you went into another country is how relaxed their border was.

Once I eventually got to my condo, I unpacked and pulled out my computer. I ran around town with Marty as he helped me with everything I needed to send to Poker Stars to get reset up. I submitted my stuff in that night and was playing the next morning at 10am. I fortunately ran really well the first few days online and had a lot of fun.

But, after a little less than a week, we headed to the border to head to the airport and go to Denver, CO for the HPT and WSOPc in Blackhawk. I got to do a lot of cool stuff here including skiing, breweries, bars, restaurants, and many other things. I stayed with my friend's house for 3 weeks. I made a deep run in the HPT main and a deep run in the reemtry of the WSOPc until my friend Justin busted my KK<JJ. But, Colorado was amazing and good times. I left there for Tampa for one last time. My dad flew in a few days later, and we drove from Tampa to Mexico in just over two days. Brought my dog and now I am here. I will update another day all about Mexico. It's amazing and I am making money. Eating a lot of tacos. Learning more Spanish. Hope all is well with yall!
