Lots of playing, finished a bonus on Full Tilt and started working on a bonus on Mansion. Some playing on all of the sites in this time period. Most importantly reaced "club" status on Mansion and am trying for "Pro" status by the end of this month, with a few tournament leader boards which I "think" I may have a chance at getting some "bonus" money along with the current bonus I am still playing out.
I am still only posting totals and even though I won a few tournaments this past week, I am not highlighting which ones they were, I do have records at home though it was hard to keep track of the Mansion tournament totals with my bankroll still slowly climbing without ever having made a deposit myself.
I am up to being able to play 6 tables at a time with comfort. I did try the "free roll game" on Full Tilt and got to get up to playing 7-8 tables at a time, which was difficult to be able to keep registering and playing at the same time due to how quick the SnG free rolls fill up, we are talking Milli secounds.
I am still doing a lot of family time and have only been playing poker late at night when the kids have been tucked in and are happily sleeping. Baseball for me, soccer for the kids and the batting cage which I did far less of due to private functions at the place I purchased my memgership. Along with some home games where last weekend I played 3-$5 games and didn't cash and last night played 2-$10 games and split for 1st in both of them, taking in a cool $50 profit.
Videos for training and some on Poker strategy, as I have moved up a level, "silver" have also taken a lot of my training time. I am about to move up another level to "gold" and am looking forward to all the SnG videos they have to offer, however there is soo much it will take a long time to get caught up.
Movie night consisted of rentals and I was a little dissapointed with the products and really enjoyed the "chick flicks"... NOT.
Getting upset about life's trivial issues is a long term battle but have found interesting ways to block out the "noise" and deal with what comes 1 thing at a time. For some reason I can always find something to get "worked up" about but need to step back and realize that which I have no control over and let things run there course.
Life is a wonderful journey and I am happy to simply play my part, which is to be the best me I can be... and feel I am doing a heck of a job at that.
I am still learning to block chat while playing poker and block avatars on the poker rooms that have them, as well play the best game I can while I learn to become better. Especially this past week which was filled with bad beats, suckouts and variance showing me that my luckboxedness has limits too. I simply think "cool", "that's awesome", and try to "lol" at the situations as I want the "fish" to keep calling me way loose.
David Jr. is set to see the surgeon later this week, and has started showing interest in wearing his eye patch and shoes with the lift which is great and makes me happy that he has concerns about other kids making fun of him, as this is a sigh of emotional intelligence I wasn't sure he possessed. He even yelled at me last night when he was angry that I told him to put some clothes on as he is too old, 4yrs, to be running around in his "pull ups" without PJ's on... lol

Sharkscope only seems to record SnG results and not MTT's which I have done well at in my very few attempts.
Estimated totals of all games in 2009- 35
SnG total games played in 2009- 8
Mansion: falenangel, last update $192.41, currently at $231.82
It was a tuff week and a bit with a lot of variance hitting me in the face, but not the kind I like!
Tournaments played: Buy in of $10 or less. It was even tougher to record all the tournaments and game success I was having as I barely broke even, if at all, and thanks to bonuses got extra cash to make my bankroll look as if it was doing better than I had thought.

Day off: Sunday. Lots of T.V watching UFC between the USA and UK has been a good watch, and a whole bunck of late night poker viewing... the Aussie millionare, Poker After Dark, WPT championsship and HOCKEY! I am totally routing for the Red Wings to take it down.
Quitting smoking is starting to go well, in fact I am almost mentally at the stage where I am accepting the idea to quit as that is needed before I actually try to quit physically.
Favorite movie watched this week "Outlander", I did watch like 8 rented movies and not too much T.V., except for poker shows which are spoken about just above and whatever the wife is watching before she prepares for bed each night.
Need to finish watching all the new video content, which is rare to take me so long through the week, from PokerVT and catch up on the strategy available to my new level on Poker strategy for tournaments and SnG's.
Best of luck to all at the tables and I wish everyone and there families total success in all your endeavours.
Cheers and Shambone!
