Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
It’s my final day and I am at Daytona Beach Kennel Club again, to play the $225 tourney. An additional $10 for dealer addon and $5 to the royal flush jackpot. The poker room is also having their annual freeroll event, winner gets to chose from 6 envelopes. 3 contain “Cars” (Mustang, Charger and Camero) and the other 3 contain cash $5k, $7.5k and $10k. Nice freeroll jackpots! While my tourney is playing, the table next to ours is the final table for the freeroll event, and the gentleman who wins picks an envelope that wins him a brand new Mustang!

Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
Today I played 1/2 no limit in the Daytona Beach Kennel Club Poker Room. Not many interesting hands for the first couple of hours, I fold a few pots and win a nice one with a turned nut flush and another with KK. However, I am in Seat 9 and Seat 1 is playing like a complete donkey. He has doubled up to $200 and is playing every pot. Calling Calling … and hitting! Poor players who get into luckbox mode drive me crazy.

Matador Sign
My usual Thursday game at Matador tonight, and quite frankly I only played one real pot. A9 with a board of 287-T. At this point (I know my opponent here) and bet big. He moves in on top of me and I believe I am behind to a pair. I have the open ended straight draw and one overcard ( I’m estimating 11 outs here – aboud 20% or so to win) and his raise is giving me the right price since I bet big into him. I have to call, and he turns over 69 for the made straight. Ouch… I am drawing to a chop… and don’t get there.
Bye bye chips …. See you another time!

Hard Rock Tampa
Today I am playing at Hard Rock again, but the buy in is $240+$10 dealer addon. This is a significant slice of my stack, but go big or go home! Right? Starting stacks are 7,500 for this tourney and there are about 34 entrants. I get seat 1 at table 1-1 … Sound lucky to you?

Hard Rock Tampa
Today is the Hard Rock $120 + $10 dealer addon, 6,000 starting chips. Big H has come along to help me bust this tourney. There is only about 31 entrants today and Tourney pays top 5. First hand I play is AJ -vs- A9 with a flop of QJ9 and win a decent sized pot. I win another reasonable pot with AQ when the flop comes AQ6. Now at 9,500 in chips. I win another pot with Ah7h when the board comes ATQblankblank, and we check it down. 11,300 in chips now.
