Slowing grinding the bankroll up

I had a relatively strong week of play which culminated with another Sunday of play.  Again, many thanks to the wife for watching the pups and letting me play.  Qualified for the $50K GTD Donkament on UB off of 100 points.  Picked up a nice $85 cash placing 138 of 821.  Then, later in the day, I went deep in the $2K GTD (rebuy) on UB, finishing 18 out of 664.  I am happy with cashing the only two events I played on Sunday.  I was up for the week on single table SNGs and 6 handed ring games.  I was pretty much even for the week in heads-up ring games.

Poker will be taking a little bit of a back seat during the holidays.  I hope to grind this week before heading to Newport for a long weekend.  Then, we head to Indiana for the holidays.  Happy holidays to all.

Getting Support

As I spent a good bit of Sunday playing poker, I realized that I am lucky to have the support at home which allows me to play.  How many doggs can get away with playing poker for most of a Sunday with two young pups?  Let's see how many more Sundays the wife will let me play.

Leading up to Sunday, I had been playing fairly well: 

- Won an entry into the Dime $10K GTD on UB.
- 23/364 - $1NL MTT on UB
- 127/2360 - $.25NL MTT on PS
- 376/4261 - $2K GTD on PS   

As for Sunday action, I played the Dime on UB.  I never really got into a groove and finished in a not too flattering 537 out of 1262.  Later in the day, I played the PCA Freeroll Fantasy Main Event.  I ran deep, but not deep enough - finished 124 out of 7639.  Only the top 9 were awarded seats to PCA 2010.  Anyone want to stake me for PCA 2010?
