I had another good week and moved up in the standings to 40th overall (from ~75th) in the main game after Saturday. With three pitchers going today, I'm hoping to get up to 30th by the end of the week. I wound up buying Wolf last week and dropped Harden. It proved to be worthless as Wolf got creamed in his first start and the bullpen blew the lead in his start today.
With Mauer and Piazza injured, I'm going to have to pick up a new catcher, most likely Martin.
I dropped to 4th in my $ Yahoo league thanks to my poor pitching. I'm near the bottom in wins and strikeouts and really can't do anything about it because the waiver wire has no talent and I can't afford to trade any hitters yet.

Good News/Bad News
First the bad news. I dropped another $200 in 5 hours yesterday at Omaha. I credit most of my loses to flopping top set four times and not winning a single one of those hands.
It's pretty clear that I've been bad as of late. My last 20 hours show a net loss of $500. Being broke doesn't help, as I don't have much of a bankroll to continue playing until I get a job. I finally hit 100 hours of play since I've turned 21 and currently show a depressing profit of $1000. I was at 80 hours/+$1500 at one point.
The funniest hand was one that I wasn't involved in. It was a kill hand, and a guy raises pre-flop AKTT. First of all, that's a terrible hand to raise with, but whatever. The flop comes TKT. The turn was a J, and at that point it was heads-up. It goes, bet, raise, re-raise, re-raise. The river is a blank, and it goes bet, raise, re-raise, re-raise, re-raise, re-raise and then the jew-bag who obviously didn't have quads looks down at his hand in total confusion and says, 'what is going on here?. Re-raise'. So, after 12 total bets of $12 a piece, jew-bag shows KK for top fullhouse, and the pre-flop raiser shows his quad tens. The funniest part was after the hand, jew-bag says, it wasn't until the last raise that he thought the other guy had quads. It took $100 of raises for him to figure that out?
For the good news, Foxwoods has completely changed their tournament schedule. Previously it was strictly NL Holdem games running 2-3 times per day. Now they have added $100 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud hi/lo, and Omaha hi/lo tourneys running on Monday and Wednesdays. They also announced their Fall World Poker Tour schedule.
THURSDAY OCTOBER 25, 10AM - OMAHA HI/LO $600 BUY-IN TOURNAMENT.
There is nothing that's going to stop me from being there.
