Well the first half of 2006 is over and I was able to cash out a couple of hundred bucks so far this year playing online. Pretty good considering that I started out in January with zero, then built up a bankroll playing freerolls.

How have you guys been doing this year? Good, Average or don't want to talk about it?

I haven't played as much online this year as I did last year, and haven't actually been able to cash out any money. I'm hoping to change that over the next couple of months, though.

I've been having a good year, but I've got to quit raiding my bankroll for plane tickets to Vegas!!!

Nothing wrong with Vegas. I've not been there in 3 looong years. I've never played Poker there and I hear that there are Celebs and Fish-a-Plenty. Good luck on your next trip. How about a few Vegas poker stories anyone?

Yeah, where do people play when they go to Vegas? I was there last August, but was on an unexpectedly tight budget, so I had to forego playing any Hold 'Em. I didn't even check into what casinos had the best Hold 'Em setups because I didn't want to tempt myself.

Are we talking limit or no limit? The $200NL game at the MGM Grand has paid for my last two trips out, and then some. (Here's hoping that trend continues next week...)

As far as limit goes, I'd play at the Bellagio, mainly because you get a lot of newbies heading there for the star factor, but they're not willing to play the NL game there. ($500 buyin)

There are fish everywhere...but the newer rooms seem to attract them the most - I think it's because of the hip factor that the casinos have built into the rooms. It really attracts the WPT wannabe crowd.

Most of my Vegas poker stories are on my blog, but I'd say the highlight was partying with and then playing with Phil Gordon when I was out in May. I bet I find some way to top it on the next trip though.

here it goes:
January -$0
February-$100
March - $300
May - $250
April - $150
June - $1500

This mounth went very well. In won $1500 in a big tournament but lose a WSOP ticket because i finished second. I'm not very sorry because i couldn't go this year.
The other wins from this mounth i spent playing on ring tables to improve my play.
Overall i made a nice profit of $2300.
I have 4 weddings this mounth and my birthday so i can celebrate with style.

wow sensei, thats impressive. It would be great if you had won a ticket to WSOP. How did you make your way to the 2nd place anyways? Did you buy your way in thru satellites?

It was a private forum invitation with no buy-in.
With 110 players playing for a $15000 prize pool.
first - WSOP ticket ($12500 with all the accomodation played)
second- $1500
third - $1000
The money were more important to me this year. I have a lot of things to do in the next 3 mounths.
Also I think i'm not prepared for WSOP. But i will have my chance in the future.
