Taking a little break for golf and sun
Won't be around here for a few days as I'm going to take a little vacation down to Florida with some friends for some golf, a few Red Sox games down there and obviously some time out on the town at night. I would try to put together a witty and comical blog post aside from this like Bond usually does but its 2:30am and thats about the last thing I feel like doing. I'm hoping to not come back a lobster, although its likely. Come back in time for FTOPS, then will likely not play much at all between the FTOPS ME and the WSOP because I want to see friends before I leave them for the summer to become famous and a 3time bracelet winner. Also, I set up a twitter account for the WSOP for chip counts for those interested. http://www.twitter.com/jurollo
Likely won't touch that thing till the WSOP but it will be a great way to post updates of me losing all my tournies this summer. Good luck at the tables everyone.
Alright Night, Shit Endings
So I final tabled both the nightlies tonight (Stars 150 and FTP 150) But in the end I lost on a shitty hand in the FTP HU where I rivered trips against a turned flush and then lost this in the stuper for a giant chiplead. Oh well I guess I'll save end game run good for the WSOP.

SCOOP is over for me
Out of the 10k today in like 130th. Made one really bad call against Jcarver and then grinded 10-15BBs for a bit before running A8o into AA. I also was within 100 of the bubble in the 1k main event and the $100 main of the SCOOP. Overall, I think Stars did a really good job putting this whole series together and deserve a lot of credit for hitting the guarantee on $9,000,000 worth just at 16:30ET today. Pretty amazing feat. I guess now I'm just looking forward to the WSOP and maybe a $1,500 at Mohegan at the end of April. I feel as though I'm playing really well lately and just need to stop the occasional hiccup that I still make. For those that didnt see, I got 12th out of like 8,000+ people in the $55 SCOOP-L the other night as well, after losing two separate $7mill chip pots with 12 left. 1st place at the time was $10mill. KK < A7o aipf and TT < AKo aipf. I mean its whatever, but I feel like a big score is coming soon though and will have a couple shots for one before the WSOP, including the FTOPS and maybe that Mohegan tourney.
Also thanks to all the support from the PSP family I've gotten at the tables in the last month, I don't always respond but its really appreciated.
Foxwoods
Hey all,
Short blog entry tonight. Heading to Foxwoods (the least wonderful place on Earth) and playing in the 10k WPT event on Friday. Looking forward to busting that on Day 1 and then losing another $3300 online in the SCOOP on Sunday. Truthfully, I'd like to not even touch the SCOOP with a 10ft pole because I am busy winning the WPT event but we shall see. Will update you all while in Foxwoods. Until then, adios!
