April was a fun month for a few reasons. It started off with the Ireland trip (see post) and ended up being a 5 figure profitable month. Although I made exactly NO money in Ireland, we got home on a Saturday night (after 14 hours flying), rested up and I was jonesing to get back and play online. On our last stay on the beautiful southwest side of Ireland, I lost connection and was not able to grind the last 4 days of the trip. It turns out, although we took an adapter for charging, the battery went dead and thankfully nothing more than that. On Sunday morning, I had one last day of freedom (vacation) before getting back to the real job and I wasn't going to waste it. I should say that it is not very often I get to play the 'big' tournaments on Sunday as work/ family obligations take precedence, so it's just the way it is. Not this Sunday, it was all to do what I wanted. So I jumped in and played the WSOP main event on cake. There were 97 players and 2 tickets were to be given away (worth $12,500). I was grinding along, staying about chip average and I was feeling good, relaxed and time went by without me being too impatient. When it got down to 10, I was bottom stack. 5 places were to be paid (2 tickets) and I started thinking about winning this thing. I got much more aggressive as I am watching most players not wanting to get involved and when we got down to 3, I was chip leader. The short stack I knew would have to push, he was on my right and I catch A 5, he pushes, I call and he shows J 9 off. My A high holds up and I take down a ticket. I also won a step 4 sit n go, which puts you into a step 5 for a $2500 ticket and I ended up winning that too. The nice thing about what cake did this year, is that they pay you cash and you decide if you want to play the main, or you have the option to go play as many other events as you like. I am thinking about renting a house for 10 days and playing 5 or 6 $1500 events. It's a great option to have. Although I have had some nice paydays in tournament play, I still maintain, I am mostly a grinder with super turbo 6 man sit n go's as my main game. As I mentioned last month, I am getting much more involved in heads up matches as well. I reported being +32 in heads up ytd last month and I have now increased that with a good April to +52 ytd currently. I also started playing Poker Stars in the last week of the month. I wasn't going to, but found out I had a small bankroll there from a few years ago so started using it.
