Hi ... no updates for some time - I do post a lot over at my own blog (http://bankrolling.wordpress.com)Now - after the official end of the league you all deserve one more posting - we failed to win the league, but its not over yet ... On Sunday I´ll play the captains challenge and I hope that I can represent Team Soooted Connectors in the best possible way - which means taking down that challenge.Keep your fingers crossed - I´ll update on Sunday!

Mind the Gap!

Well - looks like JustCruising are up and away, after scoring big again last week. But we won´t give up just now - it´s still four weeks to go and we are "only" 1300 points away ... points won´t do the job anymore, though. What we need now are the big results!I hope we can catch up tonight ... GL all other teams

Rookie ITB, first success and 600 missing points

Sorry for another update delay - looks like I am on my own ...Last week looked very good for a long time - but in the end we made only a disappointing 100 points ...100 points are not that bad, but when you´ve got 3 players in the Top 10 with 100 players left you are looking for more points ...Langboy and I both went out versus Blonde Pokers RookieITB who managed to finish second in the end ... I lost holding 99 and checkraising Rookie all in, who insta-called with A10 and hit immeadiatley - po

A lot of changes ... or "Back with a bang"

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last weeks but I was moving home, leaving my job, am currently searching for a new one and had a lot of things to do ... Poker did not run to well anyway, but yesterday team Soooted Connectors had a really strong performance.First things first, I quit my job, because I moved back to Vorarlberg, where I grew up ... my gf has a great job here and I`ll find something easily too (thats what I hope).Last week we did not score, and I was still moving into my new fl

Well - no result in Week 11I had a very fast out after first flopping a straight where I did well to lose not everything about the Villains Flush Draw (I hate calling stations) ... and then pushed my trip Ks into a Full House, gg meHattricks did not last very longer, so we were down to JackTen and langboy ... JackTen lasted long, but never came really into the flow due to ladbrokes not giving out good cards to Team Sooooted Connectors... Langboy had a decent tourney, but was very card dead - and

There is still Civ3

... well - The Daddy Tournament does not like me, but there is always Civilization III!After going out of the Daddy Tournament (running my Full House into quads) I disconnected and went on on my task to let my civilization prosper. The Persian Empire had some idea of trampling across my fields so I politely asked em to bugger off - which made them declare war... A couple of hours later Persia is almost gone - and so are all the tilty feelings!I am so happy I discovered Civilization again - perfe

Lucky me

Mission accomplished

Published on 2007-07-10 03:58:00

At the end of June I posted a short list of my targets for July ... and I managed to accomplish the most important mission ... I made more than 200 points.In last night Captains Challenge I finished 4th - which made us 500 points, $222 + an extra $50 for every team member. Yesterday, for once, I was playing very good - I made one rather bad call (cold calling an All In with an open ended straight), but from that point I believe I played quite well ... I was very cold decked for long periods, but

Good run ... no result

It did look very promising tonight, but we failed to make points ...We managed to have everyone on start, and our first casualty came just before the first break ... langboy went out in 270th position.After that we all had a great second hour and were all above the average, and I cannot speak about the others, but I had only a few decent hands, but they did really pay off! Hattricks went out in position 128 ... and Jackten and me looked very strong, mixing it up upfront! In the third hour the co

... and it was far from perfect ... I wish all members of Team Soooted Connectors and the readers (all five of you) of this blog a succesful July ... I know it may look stupid afterwards, but I am going to post my goals for July ... right now and here, where the public can see it and rip me apart for failing ...A) Qualify for EPT BarcelonaB) score more than 100 Cruise League PointsC) win 2k+ in one TournamentD) If qualification for Barcelona fails, win enough to buy into the Bodensee Open in Bre
