Last week was a good one for the roll. I ran well, but still have no Grizzly trophy and today is the last day. Hopefully I can pull out a miracle and get one, but if not I'm ok with it. I ran pretty well and had some fun sweats this series. Four final tables and a handful of cashes is something to be proud of. These tourneys have gotten much tougher and winning one is no easy task. Anyhoo, here are my standings:
Play Money: 20,562,000 Up 455,000
Real Money: $1,572.16 Up $99.55
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
This week it's back to normal with no Grizzly tourneys to play. My strategy is going to be to keep playing the Steps and maybe some MTTs. The roll is growing nicely and it's time to take some shots to keep the momentum. I am planning a run to MGM Springfield in March as well now that my car is finally fixed. I only have three Saturdays left of school before I graduate in May and I'm starting to get anxious so a casino trip will be the perfect thing to take the edge off. February has been a tough life month, and I can't wait to get this week started and get into March!

Weekly Bankroll Update 2/10 - 2/16
Well, still no Grizzly Bear trophy in my collection yet, but had a pretty good week. I was sick for a couple of days so I got a chance to play a little more than normal and it seemed to pay off. I had another deep run in the Weekly Bonanza and have now cashed four times in a row in that tournament. Also did pretty well in SnGs. Here's where I stand:
Play Money: 20,107,000 Up 698,000
Real Money: $1,473.71 Up $47.52
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
This week I have just one goal which is to win a Grizzly. The bankroll is sitting on a record high so I'm happy with that. I just need that damn trophy. There won't be much change in my strategy this week as I just want to try and add to the roll.

Weekly Bankroll Update 2/3 - 2/9
Well, the Grizzly Games are underway and I'm off to a pretty good start, but no trophy yet. I had a couple of close calls finishing 3rd in one tourney and 4th in another. I'm also 6/12 cashing the Gold Coin tourneys overall. I haven't played any real money ones yet, but for the next $3.30 buy-in I plan to throw my hat in the ring. The next one will be Wednesday night, a $3.30 6-handed rebuy. I had a very good week playing in the Steps as well. I started Sunday night winning Step 1, and Monday night I won Step 2. No cash in Step 3 on Tuesday so I dropped back down to Step 2 and cashed three straight times finishing 2nd, 3rd and 3rd. Saturday night I failed to cash Step 2, but it's fine. I'm starting Step 1 again tonight anyway. I even had a deep run again in the Weekly Bonanza and have cashed three in a row there. All in all, a pretty good week. Here are my digits:
Play Money: 19,409,000 Up 92,000
Real Money: $1,426.29 Up $35.75
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
This week I'll do the Steps again obviously, and play that Grizzly tourney on Wednesday. I'll also try and play all the Gold Coin tourneys too, but school work is starting to amp up so I might have to sit some out. I'm just $20 and change off my peak and I'll be trying desperately to break that before this week is up. Hoping for some good news to report. Stay tuned...

Weekly Bankroll Update 1/27 - 2/2
I think sometimes the poker gods just love to mess with me. Every time I think I'm dead in the water going into Saturday, I pull some sort of miracle out of my butt. Last week started off well with another deep run in the Weekly Bonanza, but then started to go downhill from there. I kept getting ridiculous beats where my opponent would flop straights, flushes and full houses on me, or I would get crushed in key situations by two and three-outers on the river. I even bubbled a satellite tourney finishing 7th with six paid. For three days this happened until I finally broke through with a second place finish in Step 1 ($3.30 SnG), and a couple of good runs in the $1.10 27-man tourneys. Then I reverted back to getting crushed for a couple more days until last night. I was hovering around even for the week, maybe even down a little and then went on a nice run cashing in the Daily Bonanza, getting a 2nd place finish in the 27-man, and winning a Step 1 SnG. Unfortunately the win came on a Saturday so no Step 2 tonight as we start over on Sundays. That's ok though. I'll take it. Here are some numbers:
Play Money: 19,317,000 Up 1,548,000
Real Money: $1,390.54 Up $21.59
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
I'm super excited for this week as the Grizzly Games are back on Global Poker. There will be trophies given out to the winners, as well as hats and T-shirts, and they can be played for play money and real money. There are a couple of real money ones I want to play, but mostly I'll be grinding the play money ones trying to get a trophy. The trophy will be nice to have, but more importantly I'll be eligible to participate in the Hometown Heroes promo. You can get money for taking photos and videos of yourself around your hometown and home casino. It's usually worth about $60 for me so even though I'll be playing play money tourneys, there will be real money potential on the line. I also have a horse in the race for the Super Bowl tonight (Go Pats!) as I bought four squares ($5 each) through work. It's $75 for the 1st and 3rd quarters, $150 for halftime, and $250 for the end so, go me! I'm just $57 off my peak now and the past two weeks have been, um, ok. It'd be nice to make some profit early in the week for once so I'm not sweating going into Saturday. Today I'll be playing the Weekly Bonanza as well as the $5,000 freeroll that kicks off the Grizzly Games. I need to figure out what my nightly schedule is going to be this week since there is so much going on. I normally don't like to play more than three at one time, but I guess if I have to I will. The first Grizzly Games tourney starts at 8:15 and the second one at 9:15. I may sit out the Daily Bonanzas which start at 9:00, but I will continue to play the $0.50 satties into the Grizzly Games Main Event which start at 10:20. Somewhere in there I need to fit in my Step tourney, but I may also sit out the $1.10 27-man tourneys, unless I bust everything early. Oh yeah, I also have school work to keep up on too. Goodbye sleep!
