Good fortune.

Ok, so im up almost 2,000$ in the last 4-5 days on stuff that i normally don't do (aka non sngs) and it feels pretty damn good.

First, Thursday night last week after i got back from the moose, i sat down at 3 tables of PLO/PLHE against the same guy in order to try and hit a milestone hand. If you don't know what a milestone hand is, basically Poker Stars was having a promotion for dealing their 40 billionth hand, and every 1 million hands between like 39 bill and 40 bill, they had a "milestone hand". All players who put their money into the pot would receive a portion of the winnings. The winner receives like 66%, and the losers split 33%. And how much they bonus depends on the size of the pot.

Anyways, so there i am 3 tabling this guy, we were at two tables at 25/50 cents. and 1 table at 50c/1$. After about 5 minutes im up 50$ at the 50c/1$ table, and about 40$ between the other 2 tables, about 90$ total, and all of a sudden our 50c/1$ table becomes full and the game was paused. I was shocked i was actually dealt into the milestone hand, and the fact it happened at the bigger stakes game we were playing was good fortune too. Theres literally thousands of cash tables up, and i was at 3 of them, and our table hit. So there i am with 63o for the milestone hand, talk about a monster. You dont receive any bonus if you fold your hand, so obviously we get it all in. He ends up boating with Q10o and i lose the hand. He, as the winner, received almost 1,800$ in bonus money, and me as the loser, received almost 900$! Felt pretty damn good.

Then last night, i was playing my friend Justin (xboxlucas on stars) in 50$ PLO heads up last night, we were playing 4 tables at a time. I ran pretty hot and took him for almost 400$. I was running pretty damn hot and i remember thinking like i was unstoppable, so i late reg'd into the 55.00$ Turbo at 2:35 (late reg ended at 2:40). If you ever late reg'd into a turbo MTT then you would know you start off with less then 10 BBS. i tripled up like my 3rd hand into it. And i ended up final tabling it. I lost a flip (i shoved K9 of diamonds on the button with 8 BBS, got called by 5's from the BB) and i went out in 6th place for about 850$. First place was almost 4k in that tourney, and if i would have won that flip, and with my edge on a soft table like that, my chances to take that tourney down were pretty high. Sucks, but im not complaining.

On the life side of things, Adam is going to call Jason (landlord) tonight about the place we want to move into, and is going to tell him Dave is back in. So hopefully we get the place and can move in sometime over the weekend. Adam and myself are looking at another place tommorow night anyways just because it looks very nice based on the ad on Craigs list. We already decided that if we find a better place than the one were probably going to move into, that well take it. We will sign the lease tommorow night if we like it enough. So yeah, well see what happens, but i really want to move out, so hopefully i am packing this weekend if everything goes according to plan.
