another 4 figure score...7 down 3 to go for 09 goal

Only decent cash last night was the last hundred dollar turbo I played on stars. Took 4ht for $1,900 after pushing ace rag with less than 4bb left in to the@warden's (aka dpottz on tilt and bodog) big blind AA. Oh well, it was a major pushfest crapshoot once we were down to 6 and I open folded too many times as well as folded Ace nine off in my bb to the button shove when 5 handed and I had him barely covered. Have to call there at that stage with so much in already so I got what I deserved. Built a big stack in the Turbo Fiddy again last night 2nd with 96 left and 54 places paying when I cracked AA with AdKd allin preflop. I rivered the flush. Then lost 3 races after that with qq, 10 10, and JJ all losing to AK allin preflop and that was that for the bubble boy. In the Turbo hundo on tilt, I was short stacked for a long time then doubled with aces and doubled again with AK to get back in decent shape. Bustout hand shortly thereafter was when action folds to the tournament chip leader in the sb and I have AA in the bb...He just completes and by then there was 1/3 of my stack in the pot...so I decide to shove preflop with him being pot commited already. He oblingingly calls with Qd9d and I go home with the Q99 flop and no turn or river ace. Oh well. All for now.

Turbo Fiddy win and other stuff

Well I am on target to meet some of my New Year goals, but still feel like I am spinning my wheels. I won the Turbo Fiddy on Full Tilt 2 nights ago for $5,700. That along with the 2 Turbo Hundo wins, an 8th in a $100 poker stars tubo for $1,450, a 3k plo8 win for $1,300, and a daily double b win for $2,000 has put me well on my way towards my goal for 10 4 figure scores in 2009. So 6 down 4 to go to meet goal there. Still 0 for the 5 figure goal though. Only chance was the Pokerstars hundred dollar turbo where I entered the final table 5 of 9. First was 11K but I was unable to close it. Anyway, I feel like I am doing fairly well, but the above results are somewhat misleading in that I have been putting in huge volumes of play. A lot of money won minus a lot of money spent to win = spinning the wheels. Also, my satellite tourney results have been terrible. This does not bode well for my goal to win 3 seats to wsop main event. Will definitely need to do some work there. All for now.
