Breakthrough

It took awhile but it finally happened yesterday. I won a big multi for a $3200 payday. This win was long overdue and it definitely helped restore my confidence. The most amazing thing is that I lost a coinflip with AK vs JJ in this tourney for almost all of my money in the middle stage of this tourney. I barely had enough to post the blinds, but I caught a few hands and cruised to the final table.

Earlier in the day, my wife made her first final table playing as Pokerescape on FullTilt. It was so fun to watch her work her way up the prize ladder. I was so proud of the way she played and it made me feel good that all those hours of watching me play was finally paying off. She didn't win the tourney, but she got 3rd place. The $450 prize will go toward some nice shoes I am sure.

Maybe I should start a poker coaching service. Earlier in the month, my brother in law also won a multi table tournament. Although it was only a $5 tourney, it was also a pretty nice payday. He was fearless at the final table and there was no way he was going to fall short. Now if I can just coach him to become less tilt-prone, he will be a great player.

Nothing too exciting to report from a travel perspective. Our trip to Albany is going to push back to March. With the severe snowstorms up north, we really didn't want to find ourselves stranded at some airport.

Time to get back to the tables!
