Just one day left of Grizzly Games and no trophies, but I did come close finishing 2nd to my best friend Matti_s73, aka Matt Sinico. He had a huge chip lead when we got heads up and we battled for a while, but in the end, the trophy went to Matt, and I got a bunch of meaningless Gold Coins for my effort. Hopefully I can pull something out here at the end, but if not, my snake will have to wait a little longer for a friend. All in all it was a good week though. Here are my numeros:
Play Money: 70,917,000 Up 69,000
Online: $355.60
Live: $2,242.27
Total: $2,597.87 Up $17.82
This week things go back to normal. I’ll be playing the Daily Bonanza, Daily Hundo and Daily Freeroll to try and grind my online roll to $500 for my short term goal. Spring will be here soon and I’m hoping to get in some casino runs. In order to get this thing moving, I’m going to have to take some shots in live games. The next main goal is to get my total to $4,000, and let’s face it, that ain’t gonna happen playing micro stakes online. At least not in this decade. I have some possibilities to make a bit with my fantasy teams too. I’m drafting two baseball teams this year, and I’m entered into a season long office pool at my work that could generate some income, but my hopes lie at MGM. I gotta be able to have a good session there in order to gain some traction. Planning is already underway...

Weekly Bankroll Update 2/9 - 2/15
Hard to call an up week a bad one, but the river beats have been almost too hard to take lately. I made some decent runs in the Grizzlies only to get the rug pulled out from under me at the last minute. It just feels like my opponents can’t miss. Players must be super excited to see me show up at their table. Thankfully I ran well in the Weekly Bonanza cashing for $8.50 and setting up a profitable week. Without further adieu...
Play Money: 70,848,000 Up 722,000
Online: $337.88
Live: $2,242.27
Total: $2,580.05 Up $5.08
It wasn’t a huge week, but it continues with the upward trend and that’s really all that matters. There is one week left to get that trophy and I’m determined to succeed. Once the Grizzly Games are over it’s back to the normal tourneys and I’m confident the roll will grow a little faster than it has these past couple of weeks.

Weekly Bankroll Update 2/2 - 2/8
Well, we are just about one week into the Grizzly Games, and although I have no trophy yet, I ran pretty deep in a few this week with 4 top 20 finishes, including a 3rd place. Here’s where I am:
Play Money: 70,126,000 Up 362,000
Online: $332.80
Live: $2,242.27
Total: $2,575.07 Up $6.23
We’ll keep grinding for a trophy this week as well as mixing in real money tourneys. It’s been two consecutive up weeks after a terrible start to the year so I’m feeling confident going into the week. These Grizzly tourneys are real tough to win, but I have no doubt I’ll at least get close as long as I continue to play my A-game.

Weekly Bankroll Update 1/26 - 2/1
I was finally able to break my slump last week with a 4th place finish in the Daily Bonanza Tuesday night. The $36 cash was the only real highlight, but it was enough to raise my confidence going into the start of the Grizzly Games on Global Poker this week. Here’s where I ended up:
Play Money: 69,764,000 Up 2,675,000
Online: $326.57
Live: $2,242.27
Total: $2,568.84 Up $32.89
The Grizzly Games begin this week, and I really want to win one of these tourneys. I’ll be playing both play money ones each night along with the Daily Hundo and Bonanza so as to keep the online bankroll moving forward. There is no doubt this is going to be a very slow uphill climb, but the next couple of weeks are going to be really fun. I wish Global would bring back the leaderboards for these games. It gives people an added incentive to play their A-games and move up the ladder. I also want to take this opportunity to call on Global to add more games like HORSE and other mixed game formats. Also, we need some more $2.20 buy ins between 8 and 10pm. Some of us have bankrolls that make the $2.20 buy ins ideal to build our rolls with minimal risk but can’t play at 1:00 in the afternoon or 2:00 in the morning. Let’s get us a Grizzly this week!
