Hey guys,
Well, unfortunately for me, I haven't been able to grind hardly at all this month. Things at work have been really hectic and it's only going to get worse through the summer. As some of you guys might know, retail management is a serious pain in the keister. I don't recall being able to play a single league event at all this month due to working every weekend.
But, on the plus side, the few events that I HAVE been able to play in have all been good cashes. I've had a win in the 2250 GTD ($300), and a 3rd place in a 600 ($55). Last night I took 3rd in another 2500 ($298), but was really hoping to take that one down. I just couldn't get anything going after we hit the final three.
Between cash games and small buy-in MTTs, I'm up just over 1k for the month of June, not one of my best months, but considering I've only played 4 MTTS and FT'ed 3 in top three or better, I'd say I've been doing alright!
... I REALLY need some more free time :)

Very nice cashes, well done.
Retail can surely be a bitch. Not only for poker, but for family events as well. I guess I'm lucky in that on the weekends if I have any responsibilities they are usually completed by 10am and the rest of the day I can do as I please, if I clear it with shmbo

Hey Murphy, Nice cashes!! I know what you mean when you speak of retail management and weekends. I used to be a manger at a Home Depot, many moons ago, and I had no personal life. I was even brainwashed to work off the clock to get to the next level of management, lol. I learned that work and money are meaningless if you can't enjoy life a little, not saying that you don't btw. I rent out a couple of properties now on the Cape, weekly summer vacation rentals. I have to turn over tenants at one every Saturday, which includes cleaning 5200sqft of house, linens in 6 bedrooms, and lawn/pool. Yeah, Saturdays suck for me, but the commission is great, and it's booked through the 2nd week of September..YAY!!! Sundays I'm lucky I guess, free to roam. DM
Keep up the great success and can't wait until you are able to play some League games again!
