Enough poker for the weekend! Today was not a day to write home about. But it could have been a lot worse. I'm satisfied with my play, if not the result.

In brief, I tried four tournaments today: two at Full Tilt, one at Jungle and one at Bodog. Best outcome was a final table and points-bubble-ninth showing in the Poker Analysis Buy-In League game at Jungle. That's not going to win me the league October title; got to do a lot better in the next one Friday at Absolute Poker, if I'm around for it. Today's capper was a $3K-guarantee $10+$1 R/AO at 'dog that drew 135 players; I finished a semi-decent 47th, but never got the run of good cards I'd been enjoying recently. I also need an ace-detector; running into pocket rockets is a fast but no-fun way to have one's stacks castrated, and it happened to me three times today. Pooh.

Today's oh-fer snapped a streak of seven straight cashes/satellite seats this week, including 2-for-2 Saturday. Got 3rd place and $10 in the weekly Aces Cracked TLB-IV game at PokerStars; earlier in the day I won the Maximum Poker League TPFC qualifier at new Wingows (which I finally got around to downloading and joining Saturday, via MPL). The TPFC final will be back at new Wingows in two weeks, and hopefully that'll give me my first real dough on the site. Beats depositing!

If only I hadn't felt so sure of Wisconsin's football team against Illinois; that was expensive. Thought it was the Lock of the Year. Who know the Illini are for real. Wish I'd had that kinda confidence in my alma mater Mizzou against Nebraska...

Lots of work Monday and Tuesday, so poker's on the back burner until Wednesday. Still trying to figure out how to do this blog thingie. AC jefe Paul says I can put links by typing the url in my posts. What's a url? He also says customizing the sidebar with links like at Al's blog, Irongirl's blog, Falstaff's blog, etc., is something he can't find a way for me to do. Argh!!! Hate being computer illiterate...

Forgot what I was talking about. Oh well. Onward we all shall grind...
