Well, I Did It!

Earlier than I expected, I finished building my bankroll! By that, I mean my goal for the year was to have a bankroll of 30K and then start taking what money I have above that and start investing it/paying off debts/whatever. Sure I could start moving up limits more, but I am fairly happy where I am and I want to get myself really finacially secure before I start into the real tough games.

Right now I find that I can beat games up to 30/60 and 10/20 NL handily though I am going to spend most of my time at 20/40 and 5/10 NL. If I see a juicy big game I will jump into it, but I think that sticking to mainly 20/40 Limit and 5/10 NL will decrease the stress in my life as I work on other commitments.

As for the WSOP Circuit Events at Ceasar's (going on right now), I think that I will make it for the last few events and maybe I can sattelite into the 10K. I am actually looking forward to playing some 30/60 at the Bellagio since the 15/30 was super soft the last time I was there. While I don't really have the bankroll to play $1000 events all the time, I want to give this a shot and I figure I can freeroll myself with a little bit of work. If I feel comfortable playing some of these events, I will probably look into playing a few of the smaller events at the WSOP this summer. I would like to try and play the main event, but I really can't spare 2 weeks of my life.

On a more personal note, I was able to take care of my friends last night and by that I bought a lot of good alchohol and got them drunk! I have about half a handle of Gvori left and a few assorted mixers, so this weekend should be fun! I also picked up a 750ml bottom of "Gentleman Jack" and that is the smoothest whiskey I have had yet. I am still a big fan of the Johnnie Walker Black Label (but that's because it's Scotch), but the GJ just hits the spot. Tonight I am hoping to mix up some White Russians and watch 'The Big Lebowski'.

The big things I need to do before I head off to Vegas are finish up some paperwork with my University and take care of that donation I was going to make to the Miriam Foundation. I was trying to do it through Full Tilt, but I couldn't make the donation how I wanted to, so I got the money refunded so I could make my own. I needed to get a reciept for tax purposes (I expect to pay a buttload in taxes this year and every little helps). So wish me luck as I try to get everything done!
