It has been a while since my last update, but not a lot has changed in the world of Mr Taterhead. The last time I wrote I mentioned that I was going to take a couple of shots with my bankroll and if I busted it I would find something else to do with my spare time for a while. Good news is that I didn’t bust my roll. Yaaay me!!!! Last month I played poker with the intention of winning enough to have a 15 buy in bankroll to 3 table $200NL on a regular basis. I got up to 12 buy ins at my peak when I decided that I had enough to take a couple of shots. Well that wasn’t a good choice. I dumped a couple of buyins at $200NL and was tilting out of my mind. I immediately cashed all but $500 out of my online roll and rebuilt my live roll which allowed me to take a shot at a new $2/$5 NL game that opened at the Ameristar Vicksburg. Landlord79 and I made a trip to the Ameristar Vicksburg and we enjoyed it very much. We may have a new home!!!! Be sure to check out our trip reports and poker room reviews from our little excursion.

I was able to talk my “wife” into opening a new account on Bodog with rakeback (33%) but she isn’t going to be playing too much on Bodog until she can get a few extra Benjamin’s to take full advantage of the initial deposit bonus of 20% up to $500 using Rapid Transfer. LOL bonus whore!!! I, errrr she, only needs to win a few more buy ins at $100NL before she reaches the $2,500 goal. That along with the $500 initial deposit bonus will get her to the 15 BI threshold to start grinding $200NL regularly.

Good luck to everyone in Vegas for the WSOP. Sure wish I could have made it, but life got in the way.
