Home Just in Time! .... for the BBT5!


Not sure how many of the events I will be playing in, but I will reload and see how it goes. Last year I had a TOC seat early on, but did not get to play it. No date set, but I am definitely planning to get to Vegas for a few days while I am on leave.

EDIT: Oh ya, a welcome back invite to the freeroll would be nice =)

Over the Hill

Went over the hill during demob. Technically we aren't supposed to leave the post, but AC is just an hour and a half away from Ft Dix, and my boss (a LTC) was driving. I would have preferred to finish my demob and go home, but we are stuck until Friday to finish medical.

Checked into Resorts and walked over to the Taj poker room. Kinda dumpy compared to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun imho. The tables seemed really close together, and the room appeared to be well worn.

Table one +550 after about 4 hours of play. Caught a set of 3s early on for a nice pot. Lost top two vs a turned set later on which sucked. Doubled up with an AK 4 flush all in on the flop. Doubled up again with a set of 7s and a rivered boat vs an over pair. Poker is easy when you run good.

Table two earned a few pots with some value bet bluffs and AK vs AQ. Never had a pocket pair larger than 99 the whole night. +450 for a nice +1000 total on the evening.

Tomorrow we have another nothing day and Friday I should be cut loose on terminal leave.

Update

My time in Iraq is getting short once again. If all goes as planned, I have a couple days left in Ramadi, a few days in Baghdad and Kuwait and then a few more at Ft Dix NJ. My best guess is I that will be back in the States by the beginning of April and on terminal leave by the middle of next month.
I am looking forward to getting home and seeing my family and friends - and of course hitting the poker tables at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Last time I was over here my friends went to Vegas for March Madness without me. Where are they this year? In Vegas again without me. Bastards!

A nice summer day!

This one can apply to playing poker for long hours
