I played the $215 HU tourney today for the 4th time in my life and am now 0/4 as far as cashing in it goes. I was lucky enough to get a 1st round bye into the round of 256. I won my first match mainly because of a tough all in I called to pick off a bluff. Then in my 2nd match I was lucky enough to be paired with a player who wasn't very good. I worked them down to about 900 before getting it in preflop with JJ vs 55 and thought I was on my way to my first ever cash in the tourney, but a 5 on the turn dashed those hopes. I was down to 800 after a check raise bluff went wrong and got it in with A9 vs 77 and watched him hit another 7 on the flop to end me. Ugh.
Other than that tourney everything else today went very well and i finished up about 1.1k. The biggest reason was 2 shots I took in the $345. I was able to win them both. The 2nd game I even got crippled to 120 at 50/100, but came back to win it. It always feels nice when you kinda write a game off as a loss mentally then end up winning it. It's been awhile since I've done that to somebody, seems I've been on the receiving end of those the last few times.
Saw the Friday the 13th remake the night it opened. I think they did a pretty decent job of remaking it. Nothing incredibly special, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes horror movies. I watched Casino today and that movie just gets better every time I watch it. A classic. It's amazing how many F bombs can get dropped in 180 min too, haha.
Below is my graph for the month so far(off by $200)

I've seen casino as well. Good one.
I love casino/poker movies.
Rounders and the Cincinnati kid is the two best. "Lucky you" was also quite good.
The story in the cincinnati kid is so cool. I mean, the up an comming local hero vs the old legendary rich master, head to head.
A pretty new movie that I've tried to download unsuccessfully is "Deal the movie".

Any other good poker movies to recomend?
Rounders is def a classic, I have never seen Cincinnati Kid, I believe that's an older movie? For whatever reason older movies have a hard time keeping my interest. I never saw lucky you either, I had alot of bad things about it myself, maybe I'll have to give it a try. I have not seen "deal" either. It seems alot of the poker movies are very unrealistic as far as the poker playing goes and I think that's where they turn me off.
I saw a movie called "the grand" which is a poker movie, a comedy. It's not the best but it has a few parts that made me chuckle.
I did like "21", that's a blackjack movie though, but it kept me interested.
Solid recovery.
Any chance you can change my blog link to www.husng.com/rypac13blog ?

Blog link changed, meant to do it a while back, must have slipped my mind.
Good luck with the site.
