On many Wednesday nights Mike Caro and I join the PlanetPoker Wednesday Limit Hold'em bonus points tourneys and put a $250 bounty on each of us...If you bust either one of us you get $250 added to your account....If you bust us both on the same evening you get a $1000 bonus added for $1500 total.

In 8 entries I have 5 finishes in-between 15th and 25th place. Tonight was my very first cash in a Hold'em event (I did finish 10th in a Hi-Lo Bounty tourney)...I finished 5th.....

First I am amazed at how the level of competition is getting tougher and tougher as I get older and older....Many of those players played a pretty mean game of poker....I took some fortunate cards for me to reach the final table.....I got very lucky on a hand with about 20 players left when I raised with 66 and got reraised by Princeton who held QQ...I flopped a set and rivered quads to severely wound Princeton and give myself chips to reach the final table...

It was a lot of fun...The players and the game were very enjoyable.......

I'll be there next week!

Life is Good :-) (Especially when you are running good :-)

The competition has been getting tougher in the bounty tourneys. This was the third tourney in a row I DIDN'T finish in the money! What a tragedy!

Good job, Roy. I'll get you next time.
