Place: Doyle's Room
Date: October 16th, 2008So-o-o-o-o-o-o-o, over the last 10 days I've managed to boost the old bankroll by a whopping $1.82!
That's not quite the whole story, but it summarizes it all up fine. If
I went into a little more detail you'd know that I actually managed to
knock the bankroll down to about $65.00 over the last 9 days. Then
today I did some more work on the house, played with the horses,
watched Firefly on the computer (have I ever mentioned how attractive
Summer Glau is
), took a shower, then logged onto Doyle's Room
and made about a dollar a minute at a $0.02/$0.05 table and a
$0.05/$0.10. 10 minutes later I'm logging off of DR and logging onto DH
to check in with you good folks.So I see 10Zav01 is beating my a$$ pretty bad in the challenge (congrats btw 10Z, excellent work
). At this rate I'll be choking on 10Z's dust for quite some time on my slow trek to the finish line,
but I'll get there eventually. Anyhow, keep up the good work 10Z.For
now it's off to the freezer for a gigantic bowl of Mint Chocolate Chip
Ice Cream and a couple more episodes of Firefly before bedtime.Good luck at the tables, all. 'Til next time!Place: Doyle's Room

in for the 3 For 1 events which costed $1.10. I had no luck cashing in
the 1st event, although I did come heartbreakingly close. Stopped by
and played in the ring a couple of times as well, but pretty much broke
even, nothing real significant to report there.Tomorrow's the $250 Winner Take All; that would be a nice addition to the bankroll.
Then we've still got the $1,000 freeroll coming at the end of the month. I smell an ITM finish coming on Doyle's Room!Place: Doyle's Room
