I've taken a hiatus from poker playing again. I ended up cashing out $300 on pokerstars. I have turned $50 into $115 on fulltilt thanks in part to a $35 bonus that they offered me about a month ago, but over the past few weeks I haven't been playing at all.

I went to Turning Stone Casino a few weekends ago. Brought $200 with me, and lost a quick $100 with my King high flush to someone pairing the board on the river for their boat.

I then had a great time. I went to get a bite to eat, came back at a different table with $80 and basically took all of the money from the maniac at the table. When I sat down he had about $300. I busted him and I had about $320 when I got up from the table about 2 hours later.

I then played some penny slots to pass the time while my buddy finished up playing. By accident I bet the maximum which was either $2 or $3 and won $48 on that spin.

I will probably start playing again come XMas time due to me being in between semesters. The only problem is that my free trial from pokertracker has now expired, so I may be forking over the cash to use it over xmas break.

Go JETS!
