I managed to hold on and qualify for the PPM super satellite. I will be playing it tomorrow night. I played in a live game last night. It was dealer choice and most of the players chose Omaha. I definitely need to brush up on my Omaha skills...lol. It was a fun night but not a profitable one. Tonight I will be playing online and hopefully building the bankroll. I'll post the results of the qualifier tomorrow night.

This is the beginning of my poker journal. I will be posting my wins and losses and lessons I learn along the way. I play live about two or three nights a week. I also play on Party Poker under the name Surflexus. I made the money in the Million Dollar tourney this week. I got crippled early in a big hand and fought back to just make it to the money. I am planning a trip to Tunica Mississippi to play in the WSOP Circuit event in January. As I write this I am playing in the PPM V Super Qualifier. Top six win an entry. I am the chip leader with 19 left in. Average stack is 6 grand. I have 20 grand. Looks like I have a shot at playing the tourney Friday for a seat on the boat. I'll post again when the tourney ends. G
