I'm creating a thread here for updates. I'll try to post once a week for those interested. You can always PM me with any questions as well.

I won 4 sats to the $530 UB 50 seat WSOP super sat. Didn't win a main event seat.

Played the PS $380 ME sat, no seat.

I had told someone through PM I'd reimburse if I won a $12k ME package.

Up approximately $3000 from live play since SCOOP.

Been rough going since the SCOOP. My plan is to play cash during the week and big tourneys on most Sundays.

I decided not to play in any WSOP events this year. My poker bankroll isn't where I need it to be for that.

GL man, youll get a big score soon.

Not much to update on the poker front, I didn't play much. I proposed to my girlfriend and she accepted. It's been a good week. I only played the $1M Turbo Takedown and some small stuff. No live play at all last week. Will get back to work today!

Had a slightly down week at the casinos. Didn't play much online, busy weekend with the family. Added $2k online to start playing more events.

Congrats on the engagement.

Thanks Lego. No Sunday tournaments today due to storms in KC area. 3 weeks ago I lost about $500 due to a 4 hour power outage. The power didn't go out, but the storms were severe enough I didn't chance it. I'll be playing all the large tourneys next week on many sites.

When are the reimburstments coming?

Reimbursements happen on my first cash over $14.5k or Jan 1, 2011 per the original agreement. I've stated before that two or more cashes totaling 15k would be sufficient as well. I'm reasonable.

Last week was awesome at the casino, up a little over $5k. If I get my total live wins to $20k, that's also good enough. Current tally is I'm up about $9k since SCOOP with live play. No big cashes online.

Today I played the Warmup, Sunday Million, etc..., no significant cashes.

Next week I'm going to Sunriver, OR for three weeks. I think I'll have internet access, not positive. I'll play on Sundays hopefully while there. If I don't update this thread for three weeks, then it's because no internet so no poker played. I always have internet through phone, but not for playing poker.

Wow I forgot I even had money owed from you and it allofasudden occurred to me today haah. Update?

Hi Roy,

I didn't play any poker since my last update. I'll be back at the casino tomorrow and playing Sunday in some online majors. I don't have anymore time off planned in 2010, so I'll be playing almost every day.

Good luck

Played the Sunday Mil etc... This is how my tourneys have been going. What can you do?

On the bright side, live play has been good.

Hope things will turn around for you online. Glad live dealers aren't too hard on you. Thanks for the updates.

No decent cashes last week online. Played $109 Omaha 8/b and a couple of others. Live play had a slightly losing week. I'll be in Phoenix next weekend for business/pleasure. I haven't completely shed my programming consulting. No online tourneys, but I'll see what Casino Arizona and others have going.

Thanks for the updates. And, congrats on the engagement.

I didn't work (poker-wise) this weekend in Phoenix as lots of drinking was involved. I'm way too old to handle three days, but it was a good weekend. Thanks for the kind words. My live play stands at plus $10.5k since SCOOP. I'm really hoping to put in two solid months and start reimbursements. Even if I haven't hit my marks at end of October, I'll likely start the process to avoid last minute transfer limit issues. I just want to make sure that this thread is closed on Jan 1, 2011.

Sweet man thanks for the updates! Gl out there.

Worked daily live. Lost a $3k pot to a 2 outer on river yesterday. Ended the week up $500, could have been much more. Total since SCOOP is up $11k. No online play. I'm continuing to focus on live play as my online tourney stats are brutal recently. May take tomorrow off for yard work/barbecue. Playing daily always sounds good until about 10 days into it.

Playing poker professionally is definitely not easy. I enjoy the game, though I realize I must use HEM better and get some more coaching to improve online. At the current rate, both live and online, I'll be taking a giant pay cut. Not acceptable long term, so I'll work harder.

thanks for update, keep on grindin =)

Had a very bad week in poker, down $1k+. Total live play is up ~ $10k since SCOOP. Went 8 - 1 in the sportsbook, so a little consolation for me anyway. My fiance is playing online when not working as I play live, so there's still a chance of a big cash. She has an FTOPS & UBOC final table. Her stats are great while mine are still in the dumps. We have tickets to Roger Waters and Blue October next month, I'll need the break. I type too much...until next week.

Decent week live, up $700. I plan on playing online the next couple of weekends.

No sizable online scores, solid week live, up $13k live since SCOOP.

Unless a big score soon, I'll look to start loading cash online for reimbursements in a month. If anyone prefers checks (personal or cashiers) to online money, PM me.

Thanks for the updates Karl. We all appreciate it. GL.

Another strong performance this week live, up ~14.5k since SCOOP. I will not be playing majors online Sunday as I am going to a Blue October concert Sunday night. I had a good week online as well on Bodog and Cake. Nothing huge though.

It certainly appears a tourney cash of 10k+ is doubtful anytime soon as my focus in mainly live, but still playing online with most of my spare time.

Very little play this week, I've been sick. One break even session.
