March

March was pretty uneventful from a poker standpoint. I've been coaching the Laguna Beach JV baseball team which is taking up a good chunk of my days. I've been playing a little bit online the last month until the last 10 days or so when I really picked it up (when I say picked it up, I mean I've been playing like 2-4 hours instead of 0-1 hours a day). It's been going pretty well in cash games, but I haven't had much success in tournaments online since the LAPC. Oh well, that's the nature of tournaments.
I've been dabbling a little bit it world series of poker main event qualifiers. In the few that I've tried (probably about 15) I have a 2nd, 7th, 11th, and 13th. In these you basically get nothing for 2nd and a 13K prize package for 1st (except when I got 2nd it was good for 1500). The 2nd place was very disappointing after I lost the heads up match against one of the top internet pros. What made it worse is that I went onto his site (he owns a very highly regarded poker instruction website) about 15 minutes later to congratulate him, and found out that he had been sending me messages trying to split it with me even though he had the chip lead! Boy did I feel like an idiot. Oh well.
I played live once in march and lost $4200 at commerce which made this month barely a winning month. Although March was my worst month since June 07, I didn't expect anything out of it because I knew coaching would be very time consuming.
April will be almost all online as well, and then it will be less than a month until I head out to Vegas for the world series. I haven't figured out my schedule out there, but I'll pretty much be out there for most of June and the first week of July at least. It should be fun, and I'll try to update this more all the time but especially when I'm out there.
